Best for
Best for runners who want a firmer, more snappy long-run shoe with a plated feel — think of it as the perfect complement to a Novablast daily trainer for longer efforts. It works for steady long runs, some tempo work, and can slot into a rotation as a protective, slightly faster day shoe. Not a race-day racer, but a firm, stable, responsive companion for half-to-full marathon training miles.
Reviewers were less aligned on this shoe’s purpose — treat these as a softer signal.

What reviewers said
- The shoe features a redesigned forked plate that adds stiffening and snap while retaining some flexibility.
- The foam underfoot provides more stability and control, trading some responsiveness for added support.
- The added foam stability comes at the cost of responsiveness, making the shoe feel less lively underfoot compared to more responsive models.

“It's a bit more forgiving now underfoot. A nice energetic lowweight model with some improved upper materials as well. Really nice option to turn up the speed if you need to. And I found a really nice cruiser as well for those longer runs.”

“But the Sonic Blast 2 had just arrived in for testing, so I was curious to see what this shoe was like. I did not particularly enjoy the previous version of this shoe, so I thought a low-stakes easy run would be a good way to test the waters to see what changes, if any, there were.”

“And then on foot, that's the Sonic Blast 2, which if you watch my last video is now a top five shoe of 2026 for me, which I didn't like the first one. So that's kind of mind-blowing.”

“Yes, the Sonic Blast 2's got a bit more bounce to it, less weight, and perhaps better lock down.”

“Sonic Blast 2 is here. Difference is you now have kind of a forked plate that goes around it, so you do have some stiffening, but you can see that it's still very flexible. A little bit more of that snap now. And then you have that foam underfoot that's going to be a little bit more stable, a little bit less responsive for a little bit more support and control.”
