ASICS Rise and Shine Collection

ASICS' Rise & Shine Collection is a seasonal collection featuring eight of the brand's most popular running models in a unified color palette inspired by the morning sun. White, orange, and soft yellow tones are consistent across the models, visually tying the collection together. At the center is the ASICS Sonicblast 2, a running shoe built for fast interval sessions and speed-focused training with the Blast family's DNA.

SONICBLAST 2 — BLAST DNA FOR FAST SESSIONS

Sonicblast 2 is the collection's sharpest profile. It's designed for runners seeking a shoe specifically optimized for high-intensity sessions, intervals, and tempo runs, without compromising on cushioning. Sonicblast 2 is part of ASICS' Blast family, which includes Superblast, Novablast, and Megablast, bringing the shared philosophy of responsive, energy-giving running into a lighter, more speed-focused format. The upper is crafted in engineered mesh, keeping the foot ventilated and light during intense runs, and the heel counter is secure and supportive without disrupting the stride.

FF TURBO, FF BLAST MAX, AND ASTROPLATE™

What technically sets Sonicblast 2 apart is the combination of two midsole materials and a plate. The FF TURBO layer delivers the reactive, spring-like response felt most at takeoff. Beneath it sits FF BLAST MAX, adding softer and more absorbent cushioning at heel strike. Together, the two layers create a midsole that's comfortable to land in but aggressive at takeoff. The ASTROPLATE™ plate, embedded in the midsole, ensures that the energy from each step is efficiently transferred forward and not wasted. The outsole is coated with ASICSGRIP™ for good traction, and the shoe also features a flappy tongue construction that aids in fit and fastening over the instep.

THE REST OF THE COLLECTION — FROM NIMBUS 28 TO MEGABLAST

Besides Sonicblast 2, the Rise & Shine Collection gathers a wide range of ASICS models, covering runners from the cushioning-seeking distance runner to the stability-oriented everyday runner. GEL-NIMBUS 28 is the collection's premium cushioning model with maximum comfort for long distances. GEL-CUMULUS 28 is the versatile daily shoe that suits most runners and distances. SUPERBLAST 3 brings super shoe technology into daily training with FF TURBO and ASTROPLATE™. GEL-KAYANO 33 is for runners needing medial support and stability over distance. NOVABLAST 6 is the collection's most energetic and bouncy model with maximum rebound. GT-2000 15 offers light support for runners with mild to moderate overpronation. Megablast rounds off the collection as a large, cushioned, and comfort-oriented running platform in the Blast family's spirit.
