Superblast 3

$210.00Super Trainer

The Asics Superblast 3 is a premium, unplated super trainer offering exceptional cushioning and a highly energetic ride for a wide range of runners. Its dual-layer midsole, featuring elite FF Leap foam over FF Blast Plus, provides significant bounce, softness, and energy return, all while remaining remarkably lightweight for its substantial 46.5mm stack. Celebrated for its versatility, comfortable fit, and robust durability, it excels as a do-it-all shoe for daily training, long runs, tempo efforts, and even as an unplated marathon option, despite its premium price and stack height exceeding official race limits.

Highlights

Exceptional energy return and bouncy ride from the dual-layer FF Leap and FF Blast Plus midsole
Plush, protective cushioning that reduces leg fatigue on long runs
Surprisingly lightweight construction relative to its high stack height
Secure, breathable upper with a roomy toe box and accommodating fit
Reliable traction and outsole durability on paved surfaces

Considerations

Excessively soft ride may reduce stability at very easy paces or when fatigued
Long-term durability of the FF Leap foam and outsole rubber may not match expectations
Heel collar can feel loose or cause irritation as the soft midsole compresses
Lacks the instant snap and responsiveness needed for sharp interval or speed work
Stack height exceeds World Athletics competition limits, making it ineligible for official races
