Superblast 2 Ekiden :Vital Green | Black

Move from feeling standard to super in the SUPERBLAST™ 2 EKIDEN shoe. It's designed to help provide one of the most responsive, energized feels compared to other shoes in the ASICS cushioning range.

The midsole features a combination of FF BLAST™ PLUS and FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning. Also used in our METASPEED™ racing models, this foam helps create one of the lightest and bounciest running experiences.

This shoe's upper construction features an asymmetric mesh design. It features different colors on the medial and lateral angles of the shoe for visual interest.

Collection Inspiration: This collection pays homage to the Ekiden that takes place in Japan. Inspired by a sprout growing and a light turning green. These colorways inspire runners to go. It features a glitter spray effect that represents runners shining and reaching their potential.
