Superblast 2
₹19,999 · choose a size
The Superblast has no plate and does not need one. A stack of FF TURBO PLUS over FF BLAST PLUS gives it more return than most carbon shoes while staying stable enough for a recovery run, and it is durable in a way race shoes simply are not. If you are only buying one pair of expensive shoes this year, a lot of experienced runners would tell you to buy this one and race in it.
First Stride lists EU sizing as the primary scale, with UK equivalents on each size button. Running shoes should have a thumb's width of room at the toe — if you are between sizes, take the larger one. Wide feet should size up half in Asics and Nike.

Plate
Asics Superblast 2: Superblast 2 is plateless, pitched partly at marathon racing on foam alone.
Qiaodan Feiying PB 6.0: Feiying PB 6.0 hides a suspended double-hollow carbon plate inside its foam — a genuine race-day feature the Superblast 2 doesn't offer.
Weight & stack
Asics Superblast 2: Superblast 2 runs a plush 43mm stack at 252g.
Qiaodan Feiying PB 6.0: Feiying PB 6.0 is 72g lighter at a lower 36mm stack, trading some of that plush high-mileage comfort for a snappier, more race-oriented feel.
Fit
Asics Superblast 2: Superblast 2 uses Asics' standard last.
Qiaodan Feiying PB 6.0: Feiying PB 6.0's wide-last construction suits wider feet better.
