ASICS Superblast 3 – Review

Before You Buy
The ASICS Superblast 3 is a top-tier “super trainer” designed for maximum cushioning, energy return, and long-distance comfort. It sits above models like Novablast and Nimbus, targeting runners who want one shoe for everything—daily runs, long runs, and tempo sessions.
This version introduces FF LEAP™ foam, inspired by ASICS racing shoes, making it softer, lighter, and more responsive than previous versions.
It’s a high-stack, plate-free shoe, meaning you get a bouncy ride without the stiffness of carbon plates—perfect for training rather than racing.
However, it’s not built for pure speed sessions, and the price is on the premium side.
