ASICS SUPERBLAST 3 vs Kiprun Kipstorm Tempo

The Kiprun Kipstorm Tempo and ASICS SUPERBLAST 3 are both marketed as versatile shoes for a wide range of distances and paces, and both use an A-TPU top layer over an EVA-based carrier. In practice, the ASICS pushes that formula further: it has a higher stack, more cushioning, and better long-run protection because its impact absorption stays more consistent as the distance builds. The Kiprun is only a few grams heavier, and its forefoot is a bit more snappy, but the ASICS feels bouncier and more protective overall, making it the stronger option for longer runs with pace variations.
