We're testing the ASICS Sonicblast in Cartagena

There are things a spec sheet can't tell you. You can read about foams, cushioning, or geometries, but in the end, the feel of a shoe is discovered in a much simpler way: by going for a run in it.

And that's precisely what we did a few days ago in Cartagena.

Together with ASICS and accompanied by our friends from Runtritones, we organized a very special day to test the new Asics Sonicblast, one of the most interesting new releases from the Japanese brand. An afternoon that reminded us why we love this sport so much and why we enjoy organizing these kinds of get-togethers.

What are the new Asics Sonicblast like?

The stars of the day were the new Asics Sonicblast, and there was a lot of curiosity to discover what this model had to offer. From the very first kilometers, many runners agreed on one thing: these are shoes that convey comfort from the first moment.

The stride feels smooth, transitions are very fluid, and the shoe has that touch of dynamism that allows you to move comfortably both on easy runs and when you decide to slightly increase the pace. In addition, they offer a very pleasant sense of stability that inspires confidence from the start.

What caught the attention of the participants the most

• The softness of the cushioning.
• The feeling of lightness.
• How easy they are to wear from the first workout.
• The versatility for different paces.

And that's probably one of the great virtues of the Asics Sonicblast. They are one of those shoes that don't need many kilometers to start to win you over.

An afternoon of new shoes and a great desire to run

The event began at our Be Urban Running Cartagena store, which for a few hours once again became that meeting point where the same conversations always come up: upcoming races, everyone's favorite shoes, and the desire to go out and rack up kilometers.

After a small presentation, one of the moments we enjoy most at these types of events arrived. Opening the boxes, trying on the shoes, and hearing the runners' first impressions.

Because spec sheets are all very well, but the real test begins when you walk out the door and start running.

If you know running in Cartagena, you've probably heard of Runtritones. And if you haven't met them yet, just one training session is enough to understand why they are one of the most active and beloved groups in the area.

Their energy, their desire to enjoy running, and the good atmosphere they convey made the afternoon even more special. Because in the end, beyond the shoes, this sport has something wonderful: the ability to bring together people with the same passion.

And that's exactly what was felt throughout the event.

According to our expert Alberto Navarro…

“One of the things that surprised me most about the Sonicblast is how easy it is to run in. It conveys comfort and has very pleasant cushioning, but without losing that spark that many everyday runners look for.

I think it's a shoe that can suit many different profiles. In the end, we're not always looking for the most radical or the fastest shoe. Many times, what we want is to enjoy our training and have a reliable companion to log miles. And I think the Sonicblast has a lot to say there.”

Much more than just trying on a shoe

The beauty of these types of events is that often the best feelings have nothing to do with the product. They have to do with the conversations before going out, with the laughter during the training, or with that moment when we all end up commenting on what we thought of the shoe.

Because running is also that: It's community, sharing experiences, and meeting people who enjoy the same things as you. And precisely that is the philosophy we try to transmit from Be Urban Running.

Be Urban Running Cartagena, a meeting point for runners

Over the years, our Cartagena store has become much more than a place to buy shoes. It's a space where runners can discover new products, resolve doubts, and, above all, live experiences related to this sport.

That's why we will continue to organize product tests, social runs, and activities with brands and clubs that share this same passion.

Because we believe that the best way to get to know a shoe is by running in it. And the best way to enjoy running is to do it with company.

The success of this event with ASICS and Runtritones leaves us wanting more.

We will continue to organize new activities, new product tests, and more gatherings so that runners can discover the latest news and, above all, continue to share kilometers.

The best running stories almost always start the same way. With new shoes and a group of friends ready to go for a run.
