Our Verdict
ASICS DYNABLAST 6
adidas Adizero Pacer
The ASICS DYNABLAST 6 and adidas Adizero Pacer are basic neutral trainers with firm, low-energy midsoles. The DYNABLAST 6 is the better shoe overall: it's more cushioned, stable, and protective over distance, with a smoother rolling ride that better suits daily mileage. Get the Adizero Pacer only if you can find it for substantially cheaper, or if you prioritize a lower stack and lighter build over cushioning.
