Superblast 2 - Do they get better?
So after buying into the hype around the SB2s, I’ve been feeling pretty underwhelmed.
For some context: I’m 6’3”, 200 lbs, and typically a midfoot/heel striker. I run about 25–30 miles a week.
Before these, I was using the NB4s, which, to be honest, felt way better. The SB2s just feel clunky overall. I’m not noticing much energy return, and they’re insanely loud when striking the ground (not a huge deal, but still worth mentioning).
I’ve put about 20 miles on them so far, so maybe they still need some breaking in, but at this point I’m actually considering selling them and going with either the ES4 or Mach 6 (or maybe the NB5?). Both felt significantly better when I tried them on in-store. Haven’t tried the NB5 yet, but the reviews look promising.
Anyone else had a similar experience? Should I give them more time, or move on?
