Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The SONICBLAST 2 is a firm, responsive trainer for tempo efforts and longer road sessions, combining layered foams with a forked performance plate. Its pronounced forward roll gives it a purposeful feel when you settle into sustained faster running. The stiff midfoot can become awkward at relaxed paces, making it less suitable if easy cruising is your main use. Length is generally true to size, with a secure midfoot and extra height over the toes, but that vertical space should not be mistaken for a particularly broad forefoot.

Pros and cons

Potential benefits from brand information, with the remaining uncertainties noted below. Checked 2026-10-03.

Pros

Layered cushioning is designed for responsive training.
A forked plate allows more foam through the midsole.
The updated mesh targets comfort and ventilation.

Cons

The speed-focused design may be unnecessary for relaxed-only running.
Independent validation of the updated design remains limited.

Where it fits in your running

Recorded uses: everyday runs, faster training. Designed for road running.

Cushioning and ride

ASICS combines FF BLAST MAX and FF TURBO SQUARED with a forked ASTROPLATE. The brand positions this construction for faster training; its design claims do not guarantee a particular sensation for every runner.

Our editorial ride category: firm.
