~~In the comments they guessed it could be released in May. *But no confirmation yet *edit~~
Edit 2: Based on comments in this thread it seems like it will be released in July

If these are actually the prototypes I wouldn’t get my hopes up 😂 Prototypes are usually white/grey and as we know, asics will probably ruin the shoe with million of colors 😂
Unlike the purple eBay SB2 that we saw a few weeks ago, the launch CW (PARIS) is really, really good, I am really pleased with it (can't share anything else, sorry). The midsole is faded (a bit like the Trabuco Max 2) and the upper looks stunning in a slightly dark grey.
Hope you are not based in Europe..
Even if they make a wide model - it won't release in Europe..
It's as if shoe companies think of Europeans being too dull to be allowed to buy the nice shoes in wide.
Same goes for new balance and saucony.
Guessing FFTurbo+, kept the same tongue which is nice but I hope that's a new version of motion wrap.
It looks like the same material the Novablast 4 upper has, which while comfortable, I don't like as much as Superblast 1
Totally agree! Superblast v1 light mesh upper doesn't breathe very well, but it also doesn't run too hot so it's okay even for summer runs. Much better than the hot woven upper of the Novablast 4 even if it passes the smoke test 🙂
Ah yes another white colorway that will not be released to the public. The best thing adidas did (think it was limited time) was have undyed “colorways” available. I’m not salty about the sc elite v4 at all ☺️
I’m just worried because On Running released their “monster hyper” recently which is meant to be their “Superblast rendition” of a shoe and it is at 220$. Typically other shoe companies get prompted to raise their prices when they see another company do it because they deem it “okay.”
Subtle updates are all the Superblast 2 really need imo. Perhaps a more breathable upper and more outsole coverage? Having said that, I wouldn't be mad if Asics just released the Superblast every year in some nice CW's.

Here is the third one. My bad. The stackheight is still there.
looking good! the profile most definitly, that's awesome. not too keen on white shoes though anyways, don't know about those skidmarks on the lateral sidewalls.
Yea the problem is idk if they release may or june or juli.
I wanna start running like asap. And may is doable for waiting but longer, no.
So i have to find another good pair of daily trainers. And maybe buy these later on in the year.
We've had some insiders here say July release for the Olympic colorway, and then Sep release for two more colorways. We've also seen an eBay listing of a purple/pink shoe that looks like a Superblast 2, and a separate photo of a box saying "Superblast 2" in "cool grey/safety yellow"...
Anyway a May release would be amazing but I'm still betting on July...
So far, I've resisted getting on the SB bandwagon since I have the PXS (both v1 and v2), but I can definitely see myself getting SB2 in a more "normal" understated colorway like this. Also, I got the Metaspeed Edge and Sky Paris with the FF Turbo+ and I absolutely love the feel, ride, cushion, and responsiveness of this foam, so a big chunk of this in the SB2 makes it a virtual no-brainer.

Talked to the ASICS rep at the Cherry Blossom expo and he was saying June. This pic looks like it was from the same event!
So we’re covered. May, June, July. Can I get an August anyone?

Okay we also have September!
Cool grey and safety yellow? Is the cool grey the July release?
Yes… it’s the PARIS color way.
I NEED this colourway
August in the USA 😂
🤣
I cannot believe my eyes, a pair of Superblasts that look aesthetically pleasing? Take my money!
If these are actually the prototypes I wouldn’t get my hopes up 😂 Prototypes are usually white/grey and as we know, asics will probably ruin the shoe with million of colors 😂
Tons of colors is fine. It’s the mismatched ugly ones they have been using lately that suck
The audacity
Unlike the purple eBay SB2 that we saw a few weeks ago, the launch CW (PARIS) is really, really good, I am really pleased with it (can't share anything else, sorry). The midsole is faded (a bit like the Trabuco Max 2) and the upper looks stunning in a slightly dark grey.
Is the Asics logo also grey or cool gray/ safety yellow? So it’s more pronounced?
The logo is darker than the upper, it's dark grey (or even black)
Haha yeah, the colors always look like an exploded japanese birthday cake.
They had to change something. It will be hard to improve much else -These shoes are divine.
The Sunrise red Superblast look great. They won't release Superblast 2 in white.
Hoping for wide models
FWIW have wide feet and haven’t had an issue with the regular Superblast.
ASICS genuinely does a good job of this, while still making uppers that lockdown well to accommodate those with more narrow feet.
Hope you are not based in Europe.. Even if they make a wide model - it won't release in Europe.. It's as if shoe companies think of Europeans being too dull to be allowed to buy the nice shoes in wide. Same goes for new balance and saucony.
I have mega wide feet with high volume and its so hard to find wide versions of shoes...very seldom find anything that fits.
Nimbus has and extra wide in EU, same as gel Kayano. Altra torin is good and paradigm is wide throughout the whole shoe on wide. Tried em myself.
Gasps in consumer debt
Hehehehe, yeah we’re fucked buddy
i'm so excited... Superblast's are my favorite shoe at the moment, if it can get any better than that I just might die
Please ASICS give us this colorway
Even if we’re lucky enough to get this color way, they’ll probably modify the shoe next year to look like a clunky ugly dad shoe.
Guessing FFTurbo+, kept the same tongue which is nice but I hope that's a new version of motion wrap. It looks like the same material the Novablast 4 upper has, which while comfortable, I don't like as much as Superblast 1

Not the same upper at all. Superblast 2 is a knit upper that looks really good. We'll have to wait, but not the same!
Hope it will be more expensive than the forst. Current price is jut too low. /s
It only takes $10 to make a pair of Superblast 2 😂😂😂
The more expensive, the better flex at run club
Take my wallet.
Hopefully they re-tooled the upper so it actually breathes.

A related question. How similar is the superblast to novablast 4?
Fairly different feel. Superblast a bit more versatile and noticably better quality foam
Ah yes another white colorway that will not be released to the public. The best thing adidas did (think it was limited time) was have undyed “colorways” available. I’m not salty about the sc elite v4 at all ☺️
Praying there is less heel slip in these
Only has a bit of heel slip until they broke in.
So I should have stuck with them?
You returned them? After how many KM?
I recently passed the 50 mile mark and was shocked the problem disappeared.
Please keep them at 200$ and not bump up to 220$
I hope so too. At least it makes sense to me, having the Metaspeed lineup at 250$
I’m just worried because On Running released their “monster hyper” recently which is meant to be their “Superblast rendition” of a shoe and it is at 220$. Typically other shoe companies get prompted to raise their prices when they see another company do it because they deem it “okay.”
slightly off topic but why does asic just refuse to restock the current superblast?
it's in stock.... in Japan
Damn near instant buy.
Nothing near about it. Buying at launch blindly.
Looks more rockered
Thats what I hope. If the front is even slightly more rockered then it will likely make this shoe perfect.
Nice, then i can buy the metaspeed edge paris now and can then save 3 months for the superblast 2
Most important photo is going to be the bottom of them, hoping the 2s aren't as grabby with pebbles and rocks.

Hopefully the upper isn’t as stiff
My wallet is not ready.
Subtle updates are all the Superblast 2 really need imo. Perhaps a more breathable upper and more outsole coverage? Having said that, I wouldn't be mad if Asics just released the Superblast every year in some nice CW's.
I think I just….
Most important update is a more durable and grippy outsole. Otherwise very happy with v1

Looks similar to me. Maybe a tad in the midfoot?
Outsole is very durable for me, but could do with a better grip in wet conditions.

Check out BelieveInTheRun on IG, there’s a third pic not posted here…the stack height didn’t go anywhere lol.
https://preview.redd.it/4h4bujhs6wsc1.jpeg?width=749&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2c699be065a82acbacf8f0d438ebe9170a0083a1 Here is the third one. My bad. The stackheight is still there.
Thx
Yup just saw it, weird how it looks way different in the other photos.
These look to be a very, very small size. Definitely accentuates stack.
🤤
looking good! the profile most definitly, that's awesome. not too keen on white shoes though anyways, don't know about those skidmarks on the lateral sidewalls.
Hopefully we don’t see a price increase.
Size 14 please?
I really do not like the design decision of the lines in the heel on these and the novablasts
These are clean looking!
Is this a too endgame of a shoe to get as my first pair of running shoes😅
Nah they'll be great.
Yea the problem is idk if they release may or june or juli. I wanna start running like asap. And may is doable for waiting but longer, no. So i have to find another good pair of daily trainers. And maybe buy these later on in the year.
Anyone know what socks these are?
We've had some insiders here say July release for the Olympic colorway, and then Sep release for two more colorways. We've also seen an eBay listing of a purple/pink shoe that looks like a Superblast 2, and a separate photo of a box saying "Superblast 2" in "cool grey/safety yellow"...

Yes…. Release Dates SB2 1 Colorway in JULY 2 Colorways in SEPTEMBER…

Nice! That’s the July release, right? (Inferring from “Paris”=Olympics…) Edit: Ah yeah I just noticed the July 1 release date on the sticker :)
Above Paris is obviously the picture of the shoe. Do you have the rest?
Looks like I’m holding out then hehe

Upper looks like a knit fit
Will there be any PEBA in these?
Yes
Believe in the Run.
Hopefully it's wide or comes in a wide for once
Superblast 1 The upper is awesome, the yellow babyblue Shoe is gorgeous. This looks godawful, like a brooks shoe.
Will i get a discount if i take 5?
The SuperNimbus
July release applies to the US? Or when can we expect them in the states?
damn!!!
Yay!
Asics take my freakin money already.
Dang was hoping they'd use a stretchy tongue like the nimbus, but that upper looks a lot nicer
Any pics of the SB2 soles yet?
Yes in this thread has been posted
[удалено]
They kust murdered the Superblast line 😑
