ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 vs adidas Adizero Evo SL

The ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 and adidas Adizero Evo SL are both super popular shoes because they blur traditional categories and deliver true versatility without relying on a plate. The ASICS is the more max-cushion option, feeling especially at home on long runs and steady efforts. Yet, it still stays smooth and capable when you shift into marathon pace, uptempo segments, and pace variations. The adidas goes in a lighter, more responsive direction, using a partial plastic shank and a less plush but bouncier midsole that feels great for uptempo work. As a result, the adidas tends to feel more efficient when you're pushing the pace. In contrast, the ASICS feels better suited to covering longer distances comfortably without losing its ability to pick it up.
