Our Verdict

Brooks Hyperion Max 2

ASICS SUPERBLAST 2

The ASICS SUPERBLAST 2 is a better option for long runs than the Brooks Hyperion Max 2. It has significantly better cushioning and offers more underfoot protection. It's also a bit lighter. However, some may prefer the Brooks' lower stack and firmer foam, which offers a bit more stability.
