Our Verdict

ASICS SUPERBLAST 2

Nike Vomero Plus

The Nike Vomero Plus and the ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 are two versatile, maximalist trainers that can handle lots of different runs. The Vomero Plus features a full-length midsole of Nike's premium foam (ZoomX), whereas the SUPERBLAST 2 has a dual-density midsole that combines a performance-oriented foam (FF Turbo+) and a denser, more stable carrier foam (FF Blast+ ECO). The result is that the Vomero Plus feels much bouncier. Both shoes have impressive range, but the SUPERBLAST 2's significantly lighter weight makes it a better candidate for the fastest of workouts.
