Upcoming Saucony trainer, Saucony Idling


Another upcoming daily trainer shoes, Asics "Nimbus 25" seems promising, especially if it's comparable to NB More v4

Anyone interested in the superblast, just a heads up -- runs half size up

Agreed. I normally get every shoe in 9.5 and tried 9 and 9.5 in the SB; 9 fit me better.

Superblast fits the same as the NB3 for me, TTS. Have been enjoying them. They're a real treat for the feet.

AMEX has an offer of $15 off $75 that ends on 12/31/22. That stacked with the med code is a sweet deal!

Considering the SuperBlast at $95 before taxes.

It’s a good shoe. Overpriced at MSRP and doesn’t perform like a plated shoe but it’s very bouncy and incredibly protective with 45mm of FF Turbo stack. My legs felt amazing and not fatigued at all after using it for a long run last week.

Just ordered a pair today from a Xmas gift card. Hoping it’ll work for weekender 10 milers at marathon pace, or slower if need be. What’s its range of paces for you?

 

[TerpRunner]

It felt great for me from warming up at an 8:30, to marathon pace (7:45/mile) and even a bit quicker on a long run. The big thing for me was noticing how effortless it was holding marathon pace. Be warned, it is a little stiff and firm out of the box, but seemed to break in after a few miles as the bounce became more and more apparent

If I have the NB3, do I need the superblast or too similar ?

They are similar but the Nova 3 is much softer and less stable. Superblast is bouncier, firmer, more propulsive and protective. I find it hard to grab my Nova 3’s now given the Superblast improves on the ride a lot for me

How's the sizing compared to the Metaspeed Sky+ / Edge+ or the Original Metaspeed Sky? What sizes did you opt for in those compared to the SBs?

FWIW, I thought the NovaBlast 3s ran long.

A bit longer than the Sky/Edge+. Sizing feels about the same as the Novablast 3 to my foot. I’m an 11.5 in all of them, 12 in the OG Sky(which ran small) but given the Nova/Superblast are trainers, I’m ok with the more relaxed fit

Do they run long like the NovaBlast 3s? I felt like I could've gotten away with a 1/2 size smaller in those. Since I have narrow feet, my main concern is the length of the shoe.

I want to make my med code stacked with the AMEX worth it rather than ordering twice lol

Haven't tried the NB3s on but I had the NB1 and it ran long. The Superblast runs long for me. When I asked for my normal size and they brought it out, it was obvious it was too long before I even put it on!

Yeah wasn’t a huge fan of the NB 3.

I’ll try the first responder discount once they drop a decent colorway.

Tried half down for both Novablast 2 and Superblast but think both work better TTS for me, slightly too nippy with 0.5 down, prefer to give my toes some wiggle room lol

 

[Locke]

Got my Superblast and TTS works for me but 10.5 feels like a 10.75, if you know what I mean. Feels like a perfect fit for long run comfort.

When does the 50% ASICS offer expire and go back to the regular 40%? I want to give the NB3 another chance. This time in the Safety Yellow cw:
