GEL-Kayano 32 $210, GEL-Nimbus 27 $195, GEL-Quantum VIII $195, Novablast 5 $180, GT-2000 14 $180 and more.
Assuming ASICS will run similar pricing later this week (delivery mentions shipping direct from ASICS).
Note: Kayano & GT series are ASICs stability shoes. Best support for overpronators: flatter arch, feet roll inwards (strain on feet, legs, knees and hips) as well as normal arch support.
$20 off for the referee ($99 minimum spend), and $20 credit for the referrer.
I need a deal on Superblast 2. Nowhere other than asics and athletes foot have the colour/size that I am after. And you guessed it, neither have a sale. Full price.
Side note, how good are Rebel pulling all the higher end Asic shoes from their website so they aren’t included in the 25% sale.
Any chances asics themselves have a BF sale?
What CW and size are you after?
Black, US10.5
Read the comment from @Chelseadmfc below. Worth the wait.
Worth heading into Rebel. They signs up for have 20% off all full priced shoes, doesn’t mention exclusions.
The pulled the Superblast 2 from the website though…
Managed to head into the newly opened Rebel Sports at Burwood, NSW and purchase 2 x superblast 2 in black (US 4.5 & 9.5) for me and the missus.
The 20% off shoes stacked with 15% off rebel gift cards and some rebel credit, ended up paying $380 for both pairs. They definitely seemed to have alot of sizes in stock in the black and the navy/white CW. Definitely worth a visit or calling up if you are looking for Superblast 2.
Thanks mate, I’m not in syd but I’ll give them a ring and see if there is any possibility of getting some posted out. Thanks.
Edit: no luck.
Which state? I still have the superblasts carted and it shows click and collect locations with stock
@stuarty9: Only stores with stock in NSW seem to be Warringah and Burwood, both with Low Stock. Rest of NSW stores are showing out of stock.
Hope this helps
Importantly iconic does sell the 2e versions too of the Kayano
And the 4e version too!
I was in an ASICS store on Friday, asked if/when they were going to have any Black Friday specials. Sales rep told me that they will be having 30% off from this Wednesday on. In stores or Online.
Do we know if that is off everything? Or just select ranges?
My guess would be select products. Asics are more conservative about sale items than some other sports brands
edit: was selected items last year https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/813842
Cheers!
Select items unfortunately
Superblast on there?
@stuarty9: Nope, they don't tend to put their 'faster' shoes on sale but I believe Rebel is doing 20% off at the moment
@stuarty9: Still on the shelf instore though. They have the “20% off full priced shoes” signs all over the place. I didn’t see anything saying “excluding superblast”.
@braddsey: Yeah saw this, thanks.
Unfortunately, I’m chasing a US10.5 in black which they don’t have
also worth checking their website for availability in the colourway/size prior (eg. some sizes already unavailable).
I saw on Friday Asics Kayano 31 for $140 at DFO
no kids shoes :(
Yeah that sucks.
I discovered The Trybe is doing 25% off sitewide* though
Ah yep good find.
DFO Brisbane, believe MEL as well, was running half price across almost everything over the weekend, bought Kayano 31 for $115 and nimbus 26 for 130. Not sure if still on.
That is cheap, here in Melbourne was 50 percent off too but retail price was $280 and was selling for $140..
Tag shows $140 as well for kayano 31 but somehow scanned $115
I would have definitely picked it up for that price. Was it a standard colour?
@BinnyC: Bought black on black, there were a 2 or 3 colors, pretty complete sizes on Sat in Brisbane.
Stability shoes always expensive, even after discounts.
Does anyone else find the rubber sole on asics isn't as durable as it use to be? I find my soles on Asics Kayano 31 grip flattened within 6 weeks of owning them. Really bot ideal for such an expensive shoe. I am not overweight. I am not a runner. I mostly walk in them and do the occassional parkrun - 5km only.
Try New Balance. Mine hold up well
Which new balance are equivalent to kayano? I think that could be my next try. Or maybe even Mizuno?
I actually just read something interesting: the Kayano 32's outsole durability looks to be much better than the 31

https://runrepeat.com/asics-gel-kayano-32#outsole-durability
So might not be worth switching brands. This often seems to be the case with long running lines like the Kayano or Pegasus, where one iteration has a weakpoint that's later resolved
To answer your question: the 860v14 is NB's Kayano equivalent, but I'm not sure if that specific model would wear much better than the Kayano tbqh
@beltdrive: Thats so interesting! So i wasnt going crazy!
Ive also had a similar issue with Brooks aadrenalin 23's. However, the kayano 31 was much more comfortable.
I have tried on the kayano 32, however, i didnt really like the feel. It felt firmer and the tongue was no longer padded, but rather quite thin (probably having shoe weight in mind during the manufavturing process).
My 31s are on 800km and the heal is worn out but the rest of the outsole is holding up fine. I expect they will last 1000km+ like the 30s I had.
Interesting. Its around the toe area that has worn the most for me! I do not understand it. It never use to happen. I use to be able to have shoes for a year or two before id need to think about replacing.
Anyone have access to the asics 35% discount? I think physio’s receive this discount, (not BF related) ?
Wife Bought a pair last week with it (physio)
How good is that! Any chance she wants to buy some superblast 2’s 😃
Crazy coincidence, exactly what she bought.
In a men's size 11 too!!!
I wish Onitsukas went on sale too.
my missy really likes onitsuka, what's special there ? I am always fan of Adidas or nike.
Think the Onitsuka Tigers are generally better made when comparing with Adidas/Nike. It's weird cause I had a few pairs ages ago and they were no where near the price they're commanding these days.
I got sick of waiting for the Mexico 66 to go on sale, so I bought the Adidas R71 and they're just as good.
they look cool. that's about the extent of it. same as any sneaker that becomes popular
$300 RRP for sneakers. what a time to be alive…
You think that's bad? At least there are cheaper alternatives. Your boi was $7.99 a dozen just a few months back! Talk about a time to be alive….
Can get Kayano 31 at DFO for around $140-160
Thanks for the shout, I'll take a look!
which store?
Unfortunately only black colourway in 4E :(
If Asics runs this, probably that there wil be a good cashback etc as well
