The ASICS Sonicblast Ekiden Men's Shoes are built to make your everyday training and racing feel faster, smoother and more rewarding - gearing you up with lightweight responsiveness. Inspired by Japan’s celebrated long-distance relay, the striking ASICS Ekiden colourway captures the race’s legacy, powerful team unity and passion for pushing performance further.

Picking up the pace? At 256g (size 9 USM), this lightweight super trainer blends max cushioned comfort with a propulsive feel that makes tempo runs and race day feel more effortless. Wrapping your feet in an engineered mesh upper for breathability while keeping weight to a minimum, you can look forward to feeling cooler on your tempo runs and race day.

The dual-layered midsole pairs FF BLAST MAX with FF TURBO SQUARED, giving you soft landings followed immediately by energetic rebound, while the ASTROPLATE (PEBAX plate) is strategically nestled between the foam for powerful momentum. There’s no harsh stiffness, just natural speed. 

You’ll feel grounded by the stable heel, freed by the flexible forefoot and protected by the ASICSGRIP outsole rubber for competition-worthy grip in a variety of road conditions. Whether you're chasing a personal best or simply chasing that runner’s high, the Sonicblast Ekiden is designed to help you move with confidence, efficiency and joy.
