The SB3 starts out as a weird mushy ride, but after some miles and adjusting to the feel it is one of the best shoes to run long miles in. It’s light, it’s got surprising return when you dig in, and you can barely feel the ground beneath you. So forgiving on your knees, ankles, hips, and capable of reaching tempo. Absolutely perfect for recovery and marathon pace.
I’ve been running in the ASICS Superblast 3 for about a month now, and honestly, it’s quickly become one of my favorite shoes in rotation. Right off the bat — the look is incredible. ASICS really nailed the design on this one. It’s sleek, modern, and stands out in the best way whether you’re on a run or just wearing it casually. Performance-wise, the biggest improvement for me over the Superblast 2 is the ride feel. The cushioning is still super responsive and protective, but it’s noticeably less stiff, which makes longer runs feel smoother and more natural. You still get that energetic bounce, but with a bit more comfort and flow. What really makes this shoe shine is its versatility. I’ve used it for: Easy runs Tempo efforts Longer distance days …and it handles all of them effortlessly. It’s one of those rare shoes where you don’t feel like you need to switch pairs depending on the workout. Overall, the Superblast 3 hits that sweet spot of style, comfort, and performance. If you’re looking for a do-it-all running shoe that feels great underfoot and looks just as good, this is an easy recommendation.
On my 1st run with the shoe was a easy 10K, it was very very soft like a marshmallow. My ankles wasn’t the fan of that feeling. However going forward my body and legs adapted to the shoes, now I use this shoe as one of my daily trainers.
I bought these to use during my speed runs - threshold and intervals. I had the Superblast 2's and they were nice. But this version knocks it out of the park. The Superblast 3's are light, cushy and provide good support. I feel stable in them and I can really fly. I use Novablast 5 for base and recovery runs but am seriously considering using the Superblast 3's for all runs. I just wish there were more colors and that they weren't so expensive!
REI canceled my order without notice. What a shame!
