Asics Superblast 3

Asics Superblast 3 review: what runners say

Fit

Similar fit to previous versions: slightly generous, with more volume in the toe box than the Superblast 2. The new rope lacing system is meant to improve customization, but in practice the difference is minimal.

Feel

Soft underfoot thanks to the top layer of FF Leap; the FF Blast Plus layer stiffens the midsole and is noticeable at slower paces. Energy return performs best between sustained long-run pace and marathon pace.

Durability

ATPU (FF Leap) is known for high long-term durability. The outsole combines high-abrasion rubber in wear zones with ASICS Grip compound in the forefoot. Expected mileage is not quantified by sources, but the Superblast line's durability reputation is explicitly cited as a strength.

Best for

Long runs and marathon-pace or steady efforts; also works as a daily trainer given the low weight (239 g). Not the primary choice for quality sessions or interval training.

Weak points

The FF Blast Plus layer limits energy return and makes the shoe feel less responsive than the FF Leap alone would suggest. A price increase over the Superblast 2 and limited breathability in the toe box have also been noted.
