ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 vs GLIDERIDE MAX 2

The ASICS GLIDERIDE MAX 2 and the ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 serve similar long-run and high-mileage roles, but they approach that job differently. The GLIDERIDE MAX 2 leans on geometry and stability: its pronounced rocker and 3/4-length plastic plate create a guided, rolling transition that helps you cruise efficiently at easy and steady paces with minimal effort. It feels very protective, but not especially bouncy. The SUPERBLAST, on the other hand, is lighter and clearly more energetic. Its unplated, high-rebound midsole delivers more cushioning depth, which makes it feel more responsive and less monotonous as distances add up. Instead of relying on a plate to manage the stride, it uses foam rebound and a stable, wide base. It also tends to hold its cushioning more consistently over very long runs.
