Our Verdict
adidas Hyperboost Run
adidas Boost Run
The adidas Hyperboost Run is a bouncier, better-cushioned shoe than the cheaper, similarly named adidas Boost Run. Both shoes have great energy return, and can handle faster workouts, but the Hyperboost Run is a much better shoe if you plan on doing long runs, thanks to its more advanced cushioning. But if most of your runs are under 10K, the Boost Run's lower price tag makes it a sensible choice.
