HOKA Skyward X 2 vs ASICS SUPERBLAST 3

The HOKA Skyward X 2 and ASICS SUPERBLAST 3 are both premium high-stack trainers built to make long runs feel easier on the legs. The HOKA uses a PEBA top layer over an EVA base for an intuitive, lively ride, with a convex carbon plate sandwiched between to help control the stack. The ASICS uses a soft FF LEAP top layer over a firmer FF BLAST PLUS base, and is the lighter, plusher of the two, making it more lively overall. Both shoes deliver superb cushioning, but the ASICS is quicker and easier to turn over, and can handle more uptempo efforts, while the HOKA is the plated cruiser for runners who want a bigger feel underfoot.
