In this video I’m giving you my 100% honest first run review of the ASICS Megablast, and the big talking point straight away is the price. I’ve basically been side-eyeing this shoe for months because there’s no way I was paying full whack for it. It took me about five months to actually get it on foot, and that only happened because I found a proper discount that made me willing to take the punt and see what it’s all about. I run through how I tested them, a technical overview, and then my first impressions from that initial outing. This isn’t a “one run and I’ve solved the shoe” kind of video—I’m setting the baseline: what it feels like out of the box, what stood out immediately, and whether the Megablast is giving me enough to justify even a discounted buy. More miles are coming, and I’ve also got a comparison video planned, because that’s where you really find out if a shoe earns a place in marathon training or if it’s just expensive hype.
