ASICS SONICBLAST - Plated Performance Super Trainer

The ASICS SONICBLAST is a game-changing plated super trainer that bridges the gap between daily training and race-day performance. Built for runners who demand speed and versatility, this lightweight trainer combines responsive cushioning with propulsive plate technology to deliver explosive energy return across all paces.

Revolutionary Dual-Foam Technology:

• FF TURBO™ SQUARED Foam (Top Layer): ASICS' most advanced A-TPU midsole material provides explosive energy return and responsive bounce. This premium superfoam is 32.5% bouncier, 9.6% softer, and 2.8% lighter than previous FF TURBO formulations
• FF BLAST™ MAX Foam (Bottom Layer): Soft, resilient base layer delivers cloud-like cushioning with responsive energy return for a smooth, comfortable ride
• ASTROPLATE™ Technology (3/4 Length Pebax Plate): Flexible Pebax propulsion plate sandwiched between foam layers provides snappy forward propulsion without the harsh stiffness of carbon fiber plates. Engineered for versatility across different paces and runner weights

Performance Geometry & Traction:

• Aggressive Forefoot Rocker: Sharp forefoot rocker geometry drives efficient toe-off and propels momentum forward
• High Stack Height: 46mm heel / 38mm forefoot (men's) provides maximum cushioning protection for long-distance efforts
• ASICSGRIP™ Outsole Rubber: High-abrasion, grippy rubber compound delivers superior traction on variable road conditions and wet surfaces
• Strategic Rubber Placement: Durable rubber coverage in high-wear zones ensures long-lasting performance

Breathable Upper Construction:
