What reviewers say
Reviewers agree it is the best Superblast yet: softer and bouncier, lighter than its high stack suggests and versatile enough for long runs, easy days and faster efforts, with a roomier toe box than version 2. Criticisms include the higher price and, from Doctors of Running, a soft forefoot that can feel unstable; Tom's Guide pointed to rivals such as the Megablast as worth considering.
