Our Verdict
ASICS MEGABLAST
Nike Vomero Plus
The ASICS MEGABLAST and the Nike Vomero Plus are both highly cushioned shoes that stack lots of premium foam underfoot. The midsole compound in the MEGABLAST is a more advanced Aliphatic TPU that allows it to absorb impact better than the Vomero Plus' PEBA-based midsole, while still being more responsive. The tradeoff is in stability, as the Vomero Plus feels more like running on solid ground, with a firmer heel and forefoot.
