Our Verdict
ASICS SUPERBLAST 3
adidas Hyperboost Edge
The adidas Hyperboost Edge and ASICS SUPERBLAST 3 sit in the same segment of highly cushioned, energetic trainers without plates, but they have a slightly different emphasis. The Hyperboost Edge leans more into the bounce of the midsole itself, giving it a more pronounced, springy feel underfoot. The ASICS feels marginally more cushioned overall and is lighter, which makes it less cumbersome and easier to handle when you start picking up the pace.
