AsicsSuperblast 3
Race-day foam for every day — the Superblast 3 brings Asics' fastest midsole technology to your weekly training miles.
Details
The Asics Superblast 3 returns in 2026 as the undisputed super trainer of the Asics lineup, combining everything that made the Superblast 2 a fan favorite with the cutting-edge midsole technology that defined Asics' breakthrough 2025 racing lineup. The result is a daily trainer that feels like a supershoe — bouncy, lightweight, and genuinely exciting to run in.
The midsole is where the Superblast 3 makes its boldest statement. A top layer of FF Leap superfoam — the same material found in the Metaspeed Ray, Sky, and Edge race shoes — delivers exceptional energy return and featherlight cushioning that brings genuine race-day responsiveness to everyday training. Beneath it, a base layer of FF Blast Plus foam adds the composure and inherent stability needed in a high-mileage trainer, grounding the ride and preventing the shoe from feeling unstable at slower paces. A revised trampoline pod design in the forefoot amplifies springiness even further, making toe-offs feel effortless and fun regardless of pace.
The woven upper is constructed from recycled polyester for a breathable, featherlight feel that keeps the overall weight of the shoe impressively low. An updated eyestay construction improves midfoot lockdown, while a flared heel cup makes slipping the shoe on and off quick and effortless — a small but welcome detail for high volume training days.
Whether you are pushing through a long run or just want a shoe that makes easy miles feel like something special, the Superblast 3 delivers supershoe energy without the supershoe price tag.
