Asics
Mens Sonicblast

Great speed shoe! This is the second plated shoe that I have owned and asics is by far a better and more natural fit for me and my foot.
The first thing I noticed is how lite they were on my foot. Very quick, great response feel on and off the ground - very pleased. I was nervous about the grip, but I have had no traction issues.

This is the most comfortable shoe I have ever bought. I usually wear On Cloud or Brooks but have found my new favorite. I will be buying more.

I feel numbness in the shoes after 30 mins or so of what running but other than that, great cushion and sole.

Good product and good price great buy , confort !

Amazing shoe. I was looking for a replacement of other plated trainer (from a different brand) and couldn't find anything, except for the sonicblast! I am a big fan already of the Novablast / Superblast line, so figured this would be a good addition to the rotation. I was not wrong! Took it on a 7 mile treadmill run followed by a 14 mile long run outdoors and it killed it.

Additional callouts: laces are long and upper is comfortable. Ride is firm.

FYI - Cannot comment on durability as I've only ran in the shoe for a couple of days.

Fast, snappy and comfortable. Love using these for long runs with speed intervals.

Awesome shoe for my tempo, interval training. my foot is a bit wide so the narrow forefoot is snug..but other than that these shoes are meant for speed, foam stack is nice while the plate propels me into the future!!

The foam in the shoes wears out very quickly and is not very stable, which is a major drawback in a training shoe. I can say that the upper is of very good quality; it's a lightweight, agile shoe with excellent rebound. But it's far from having the durability of a Superblast 2.

I returned the shoes as they were too tight. Love the product, but it seems lately that some of the shoes are tighter in the toe area.

Despite the mixed reviews saying the running experience is stiff, it was not bad at all. I'd say slightly lightly firmer than the novablast 5 but wayyyyyy bouncier. Guessing this is from both the midsoles and astroplate, whatever it is, my mile time is night and day compared to my gel nimbus 27's.

I am an intermediate runner using them for speedier workouts, and even for long runs that involve more speed mixed in. The shoe shines more in the faster work, but there is still enough cushioning to make the slower miles feel fine.

Fantastic shoe that just needs a few small tweaks, on the customer end I would suggest getting new laces because Asics' usually just stretch and get strung out but I'd say thats very minimal, on the production end the tread started to peel early but customer service was quick to respond and replace them due to it being a warranty issue

Ok but does not have tabs for Back of shoes and Tonge

This rocket shoes are amazing, fast and comfortable

Right out of the box these shoes felt light and lively. Have put them trough a few different runs from shorter speed workouts to some tempo runs. I have really enjoyed them so far.

These are great shoes for speed/tempo training. Good cushioning, I can see myself getting another pair when mine finally wear out.

Heel design is a bloody blistery disaster
I was so excited to get these that I signed up early for them. Originally tried a test pair on at my local running shop. First RUN was great up until my Achilles started rubbing pretty badly on the heel cup. Ended up doing some sprint/interval work and turned into a total disaster. Just took them out for my second run and same thing except now worse. Blood and blisters to boot. Issue otherwise feels really incredible. But the design team totally missed with the dagger of a heel cup that they put together. I don't know how anybody is able to wear these without it digging into their Achilles. R&D may need to go back to the drawing board for a 2.0. Less

Nice tempo shoe for shorter runs to complete my rotation which includes the Superblast 2 for long runs and the Edge Tokyo as my race day shoe. While the sonic blast is a good shoe especially after a break in period of 40 miles, it didn't have the WOW feeling of the Superblast and Edge Tokyo.

Perfect fit like all of the shoes in the Blast lineup! Nice pop in the shoe as well. Absolutely love it for tempo runs. Wouldn't recommend fo easy slow runs though. Long runs at a good pace most definitely though!

I gave 3 stars because shoe is high quality but not comfortable to run on maybe plate inside is too hard kinda of very firm in shoe. Megablast is one of the best shoe I have with no plate inside!

This shoe made me run faster without feeling like I was hurting my knees. Excellent balance of spring and cushion. This is my first plated shoe and has been great. Set PRs across the board in it. Just makes me want to and able to go faster.

Excelente calzado. Buenísimo. Lo recomiendo al 100%

Like a sonic boom. It feels so nice on the run and responsive.
