Our Verdict

ASICS SUPERBLAST 3

Nike Vomero Plus

The ASICS SUPERBLAST 3 and Nike Vomero Plus both deliver a similar level of bounce underfoot, but they go about it with a different balance of efficiency, protection, and stability. The ASICS SUPERBLAST 3 feels more well-rounded because it stays impressively light despite its high stack, where its A-TPU midsole can outdo Nike's PEBA foam while also delivering a more protective ride that holds up better as the miles pile on. The Nike leans more toward daily training or the occasional stride, pairing its fun bounce with a slightly more stable, planted feel, but its higher weight makes it feel better suited to relaxed cruising rather than being a true do-it-all weapon like the ASICS.
