ASICS SONICBLAST vs MEGABLAST

Both the ASICS SONICBLAST and ASICS MEGABLAST are performance-oriented options from the Japanese brand, but they fit in distinctly different slots in its lineup. The SONICBLAST is a plated super trainer designed for faster efforts, with a dual-layer midsole that combines FF Turbo² and FF Blast Max around a partial plate, giving it a firmer, snappier forefoot that favors high-cadence turnover. It can handle easy miles too, though its real strength is moderate uptempo work. The MEGABLAST, on the other hand, is an unplated max-cushion trainer built entirely on FF Turbo² foam. It is actually lighter despite its taller stack, and delivers a softer, more cushioned ride that feels bouncy and energetic while remaining versatile across daily mileage, long runs, and faster sessions.
