Manila is heating up, but we aren’t just talking about the weather!
I recently had the absolute pleasure of joining ASICS Philippines for an exclusive 5-km run to celebrate the official launch of the much-anticipated ASICS SUPERBLAST 3. If you’ve been following our journey at The Travelling Foxes, you know we are always on the move—and finding the right gear to keep our pace (and our joints!) happy is everything.
A Star-Studded Morning at Rockwell
The energy at the launch was next-level. We weren’t just running with any crowd; the event was packed with some of the most elite athletes in the country.
I found myself alongside powerhouses from the hit show Physical: Asia (congratulations to Team PH for showing the world what we're made of!) and icons from the Philippine tennis scene.
If you want to feel the energy yourself, you have to check out the ASICS Pop-Up Shop in Rockwell, Makati. It’s open right now, and it’s the perfect place to get fitted and see the new colorways in person!
🚀 Why the SUPERBLAST 3 is a Game-Changer
So, what’s the hype about? Here are the features that actually matter:
The All-New FF LEAP™ Foam: This is the biggest upgrade. Replacing the previous foam, FF LEAP is ASICS’ lightest and most energetic material yet. It feels like you’re running on tiny trampolines—serious bounce without the weight.
Physics-Defying Weight: Despite having a massive 46.5mm stack height (hello, cushioning!), the shoe actually dropped weight. It’s about 10 grams lighter than the Superblast 2, making it feel incredibly effortless on the road.
Trampoline Pod Outsole: The redesigned outsole works with the foam to give you a propulsive "pop" every time your foot leaves the ground.
Breathable Engineered Mesh: Essential for the Philippines! Your feet will stay cool even when the sun is out.
The Verdict?
Whether you’re training for your first marathon or just want a "super trainer" for your daily walks and runs, the Superblast 3 is the most versatile shoe you can own. It gives you that race-day speed with the comfort of a daily trainer.

Don't wait—these tend to sell out fast once the word gets out!
Stay active, stay hydrated, and see you on the trails!
