head-to-head · opinion

Both the ASICS Superblast 2 and Superblast 3 are tall, plateless max-cushion do-everything trainers, so the choice is mostly value versus refinement. The Superblast 3 is slightly lighter (238g vs 249g) with a taller stack (45/37 vs 43/35mm), but it costs 210 USD against the Superblast 2's 149 USD. Grab the Superblast 2 to save money, and pay up for the Superblast 3 only if the extra stack and marginally lower weight matter to you.
