Asics Superblast 3 vs Megablast — which versatile running shoe should you buy in 2026? After hundreds of miles in both shoes, here's the honest comparison from our expert reviewer Alex Cyr that nobody else is making. These might be the two best all-around running shoes in the world right now. Same price range, same versatility, same brand. But one key foam difference changes everything about how you should use them. We break down FF Blast Plus vs FF Turbo Squared, compare the ride feel at every pace, and show you exactly where each shoe fits in the full Asics lineup from Novablast to Metaspeed. We also cover three rotation strategies to help you decide: the two-shoe setup, the specialist approach, and the one-shoe solution. 0:00 - Intro 0:40 - Specs comparison 0:58 - Superblast 3 background 1:24 - Megablast background 1:46 - Head to Head 2:03 - Foam differences 3:16 - Which is faster? 3:50 - Speciality of each shoe 4:48 - ASICS Spectrum of Blast 5:54 - Which one should you buy? 7:15 - Alex's favourite 7:45 - Which will be more popular? 🔴 Subscribe to get all our training tips, running guides and gear reviews : https://www.youtube.com/@marathonhandbook?sub_confirmation=1 🔴 Watch our shoe review playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLb3iPx8Lcl9l-_FLwIk8k20vF-SELCa32 Reviewer: Alex Cyr IG: https://www.instagram.com/cyresy_10/ Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/19798722 Check out our other recent shoe reviews: ASICS Superblast 3 https://youtu.be/3smamb4U9CY Saucony Endorphin Pro 5 and Endorphin Azura https://youtu.be/lc2HRSAx9jY ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo vs Edge Tokyo https://youtu.be/fFXeE3-gvQg ASICS Megablast vs Sonicblast https://youtu.be/jo_4AM_O49E HOKA Rocket X3 https://youtu.be/AQZI9a8aUbU Puma Velocity NITRO 4 https://youtu.be/h1voyrGyudw New Balance FuelCell Rebel V5 https://youtu.be/qeQ92GppuyU ASICS Metaspeed Tokyo https://youtu.be/qeQ92GppuyU Brooks Hyperion Elite 5 https://youtu.be/VVfwbtzrDk4 Puma FAST-R Nitro Elite 3 Review: https://youtu.be/ukL4yzyghp4 Nike Vaporfly 4 Review: https://youtu.be/r1AQkdV3_-8 HOKA Clifton 10 Review: https://youtu.be/422bhi-NpSk Adidas Adios Pro 4 Review: https://youtu.be/flJKaMqFfOg Brooks Glycerin 22 Review: https://youtu.be/2agll5sr1mY HOKA Bondi 9 Review: https://youtu.be/7AhtjXPVlhc Adidas Adios Pro Evo 1 Review: https://youtu.be/kW5smCAvBTc Brooks Glycerin Max Review: https://youtu.be/1By6aFSIFhw HOKA Skyflow Review: https://youtu.be/XPqhP62cKrc Brooks Ghost 16 Review: https://youtu.be/9x4HIBPx31s On Cloudmonster 2 Review: https://youtu.be/4j8-wk7IcS4 Hoka Skyward X Review: https://youtu.be/uCOkuJuXR2k Lululemon Beyondfeel Review: https://youtu.be/kvCSSZVFINs Hoka One One Cielo X1 Review: https://youtu.be/HF_QqeUcPC0 Nike Alphafly 3 Review: https://youtu.be/IgYrwvtm26k Brooks Hyperion Elite 4 Review: https://youtu.be/-gAih_5cOIk Over 240,000 runners read our newsletter.
