Superblast 3

The long version

The Superblast has always been the shoe for runners who want race-day cushioning without giving up a training shoe's durability, and the 3 doubles down by swapping in FF LEAP — the foam borrowed from the Metaspeed racing line — for the bulk of its towering stack. The result trades the old Superblast's firmer, businesslike feel for something noticeably softer and livelier underfoot, while a thin FF BLAST PLUS base layer keeps things from turning mushy at speed. Still no plate — it earns its pop through foam and geometry alone, and somehow does it while shedding weight.

Core design differences

Plate

Asics Superblast 3: Superblast 3 is plateless, relying on FF LEAP and FF BLAST PLUS foam alone.

Xtep 160X 6.5 Pro: The 160X 6.5 Pro runs a full-length carbon plate — a more aggressive, race-leaning platform aimed at tune-up races rather than just long runs.

Stack

Asics Superblast 3: Superblast 3's 46mm stack gives it more outright cushioning for the longest efforts.

Xtep 160X 6.5 Pro: The 160X 6.5 Pro's lower 39mm stack and carbon plate favour faster workouts instead.

Weight

Asics Superblast 3: The two land within 5g of each other.

Xtep 160X 6.5 Pro: So the ride difference here comes down to plate and foam tuning, not weight.
