Men's Sonicblast 2
Plated Pop for Everyday Miles
The Sonicblast sits in an interesting spot: tall, soft and bouncy like a max-cushion trainer, with a flexible plate inside to keep it moving when you pick up the pace. It's a shoe for runners who want their easy days and their tempo days handled by the same pair.
Version 2 pairs two ASICS foams in a stacked midsole, adds a springy pod under the forefoot, and reshapes the plate into a forked design. A light engineered mesh upper keeps the build simple.
The Technology
FF BLAST MAX + FF TURBO SQUARED
A two-layer midsole: one foam brings the soft, protective base, the other adds a livelier, springier layer.
FF TURBO SQUARED Trampoline Pod
Under the ball of the foot sits a pocket of the bouncier foam, right where you push off.
ASTROPLATE
A Pebax plate with a forked shape. It adds a forward roll without the stiffness of carbon, so the shoe still feels natural at relaxed paces.
Engineered Mesh Upper and ASICSGRIP Outsole
A light, breathable upper with few overlays, on top of ASICS' grippy outsole rubber.
Who This Shoe Is For
- Runners who want one shoe for daily miles, long runs and tempo work
- Anyone curious about a plated shoe that's more forgiving than a carbon racer
- Half and full marathon trainers who want cushioning that stays lively late in a long run
- Neutral runners who don't need added stability
