Buying ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 PARIS from the ASICS Flagship Store in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan

[@zaf2643]

Superblast 2 is a hot item. All over the world is like that . Even in my country , it was sold out after 2 hours of launching at asics flagship store .

[@bigchief2331]

Size up for me. I usually wear US12-12.5, but I went US13 in these and perfect. You need plenty of wiggle room at the end, a bit more than a thumbs width, to be comfortable on longer runs etc.

Great video mate - top notch. Deserves way more views. Thanks for the photos of the flagship store, really great to see. I see they are still producing the Japan only available S4 - and in some new colourways. Sold out in NZ pretty much the same day. I was lucky enough to get a pair and have posted a video on my review after some miles. Keen to hear your thoughts.

It’s ridiculous how it can be sold out within minutes

[@matthiassventoest6800]

Great insight, especially on the true decides I’m in between 10 1/2 and 11. This makes me think I should go 11.

[@dakoota3332]

I had to size up from 45 eu to 46 eu. My other shoes are nike and saucony and they are 45 eu

[@Fozzee.1970]

TTS to size for me in UK 11.5.

[@AWright300]

Hi, what size would a UK 12 be in Japan? I have a relative travelling out tomorrow and want them to get me a pair!

[@RunningInJapan]

@@AWright300 UK 12 is Japan 30.5 cm at ASICS. I wish him luck and hope they’re not sold out. That’s actually a pretty big shoe size so he may luck up in getting a pair.

What's with the display of the Hibiki???? Does it represent you are in Japan or just merely showing off.

[@RunningInJapan]

It's just there for no real reason. I have no place to put it. I'm a Japanese whisky specialist and writer. I have no more cupboard space, and when I tend to drink something, I happen to leave it out for a long time on those two shelves either side of me in my office. instagram.com/gentlemansclubwhisky/

Any news when the other colorways are gonna release?

[@user-sx8rv5pz7u]

Its nice but the stiffness is too much and because this gets boring after a while, this also change the natural running mechanics sometimes it feels like i'm running on two bamboo sticks ...

[@RunningInJapan]

Do you think they will loosen up and "break in" over time?

[@user-sx8rv5pz7u]

​@@RunningInJapan Not much,the stiffness remains and the midsole becomes a little bit softer over time,at least with the SB1, but the SB2 hardly differs in terms of feeling

[@bigchief2331]

I don't find stiff at all , very bouncy and responsive. Never had a shoe that propels me like this before.

[@user-sx8rv5pz7u]

SB 1 and 2 is stiff has no flex, thats 101% fact

[@bigchief2331]

@@user-sx8rv5pz7u oh right yes you are correct there. But that doesn’t bother at all. It’s the bounce and propulsion that I love.

[@sanakiyamam1987]

i think i have to size up to 46 EU official site says 29cm is 46 EU i have Mizuno Rebellion Flash 2 and Mizuno Wave Rider 27. They are 29cm and 44 1/2 EU Every company is different but the size in cm is mostly or always same 5:29 end of this month. spent so much money and i have to wait until end of this month than for sure. my next one will be SB 2 or some people are going to buy some Pokemon cards from me :) than even earlier.

[@LukaMagic-hg3dk]

The best flagship store in Japan, in Tokyo. I hope the White Color Way of Superblast 2 would still be available until December 2024 and the release of the Asics Novablast 5.

[@tekgewet]

DAMN that's cheap with the weak yen. looks awesome

[@RunningInJapan]

@@tekgewet they feel awesome.

[@Vritility]

Hello bro. May I ask why you upsize from 27.5 cm to 28 cm for this SB2? 27.5 cm don't fit well?

[@RunningInJapan]

@@Vritility it runs small. Also, I had a bad experience with a 27.5 Novablast 4. It gave me runner’s toe because it was too short. I’m still currently recovering from that injury.

[@i.dsafairol7726]

How much the weight?

[@RunningInJapan]

@@i.dsafairol7726 249g (8.8 oz).

For next time…take your passport along and you’d have got 10% off (the tax).

[@RunningInJapan]

For anyone who's not a resident, yes, please take note of that. Unfortunately, that's not the case for me because I live here.

[@davidrogers7787]

@@RunningInJapan Hey man, not quite true. I lived and worked in Japan for years, with a Gaijin card and everything, and I shopped in that same store and got the discount during that time. I just showed my passport to the person at checkout, and they never asked if I was actually living there or not. Once a foreigner, always a foreigner when it comes to Japan! Try it next time 🙂

[@RunningInJapan]

@@davidrogers7787 I suppose I could do that, but that's not really being honest with them. I'm not trying to sound high and mighty by not doing that and taking advantage, but my integrity means a lot to me, I'm not going to start doing that.
