Asics Superblast (Mega Blast)
Asics Superblast (Mega Blast): building consensus — a public grade is not available yet; synthesized so far from 1 review across 1 creator, freshest review Sep 16, 2026.
TL;DR
The Asics Superblast (Mega Blast) earns a spot worth considering for runners who prioritize bounce and speed feel over cost. Its standout foam and lightweight build won strong endorsements, but the steep price and a clunky fit for some mean it is not a universal recommendation—if the price is a dealbreaker, look for similar, less expensive alternatives.

- It was described as lightweight despite its size, giving a responsive, propulsive feel without a plate.

- One reviewer found the shoe felt clumpy and wide, detracting from the experience.

The Run Testers
“Like our top pick in this category was the ASEX Mega Blast. And it is a brilliant shoe. Obviously very expensive as I come on to, but I've done 350K in that shoe. I've done all kinds of runs in it, especially, you know, a lot of faster running in it as well. And you know, it is a big shoe, but it's pretty lightweight. And the FF Turbo Squared foam is really, really effective in bouncing you on your way when you are running at faster speeds. Really nice resilient foam, a whole load of spring to it.”

Road To Trail
“Mega Blast. Uh, C tier. I think this is very good. €240 for this thing. A6. Seriously? Yeah. I don't know. I think you can get a similar style of shoe for less. And yeah, I don't know. It always felt a bit clumpy to me as well. Kind of a wide shoe.”
