Personally, though I prefer a lot the Asics shoes for running. There are some versions of ultraboosts that are more suited to running like the Ultraboost PB.

I have to agree with you on this. I've been running with ASICS for years and bought my first pair of Ultraboosts and weren't impressed, although they look very stylish. ASICS are still more comfortable for daily jogs.

They are absolutely that good. I work 60-80 hours in hospitals weekly and refuse to wear any other shoes. The amount of cushioning and arch support I get from them, and the length of time they last (I usually crush two pairs per year walking on em all day), makes this the best investment for me, by far. Has beaten other shoes + orthotics, far more expensive orthotic shoes, anything. Wearing these even fixed my back.
I say this without a word of a lie lol. Usually I can't even be bothered to post on the forums bc I'm so tired (working rn) but in this case I post in case a fellow hospital worker sees it hah.
Caveat - I def don't workout in em. More of a lifestyle/work beater shoe. in fact I saw this post as I always have alerts set for ultraboost so I can nab more work shoes.

I'm the opposite....I've been told ASICS are the best for running. I bought 2 different pairs after using the adidas kanadia all my life for running+everyday and over the course of the last 2 years I couldn't stand the ASICS. ASICS are a thicker, heavier shoe. So if you're looking for longevity I'd have to say ASICS probably will last longer and is more durable. But if you're looking for shoes that are so comfortable and lightweight that you can't feel on your foot and don't mind replacing them every year then adidas is the way to go. I love ultraboosts and I will never go back to anything else (maybe if I can find the old style kanadia again I would get those). Ultraboost also look better IMO.
The ultraboost's are nice looking and they feel great but they are way to soft for me. I prefer a shoe that has is a bit more firm than soft. So I guess it depends how you like your running shoes. I have found the Supernova to be a good fitting shoe for most of my runs, they have a bit of the boost material in them to give it a bit of softness but still feel firm enough for my personal tastes. I have never liked any nike running shoe I tried to train in and normally love ASICS but they get destroyed by my normal training runs and I have to replace them far more often than once every 4months or so.
My opinion on running shoes... when it is a good deal and you have never tried them just BUY IT! You might find something that works really well for you and if you don't like it you have have a pair of casual shoes.
Runner here. I like the shoe. On my 7th pair after switching from Saucony.
Here are some subjective facts about the designs of these, and my personal take.
The boost material is bouncy, long lasting, but heavy, and can feel mushy to some (especially toward the end of long runs as the boost material gets warmer).
The primeknit upper is stretchy, comfy but not the most secure or controlled. So they are not good on uneven surfaces, situations that need stability, or for activities that require flexibility/quick change in directions/lateral moves. Long, straight road runs are fine. Walking around is fine. If I'm running on unfamiliar roads, or exploring an unfamiliar city, I would not wear my UB20s.
The energy return decreases as the boost material heats up, so by 30+ minutes, you will gradually feel less bounce and increased mushiness, and it gets rather tiring by the hour mark. This depends on weight/stride of the person but more or less true due to the technology behind boost. Benefit is it recovers fast and retains bounciness longer than other midsoles.
I personally much prefer Nike Pegasus, React Infinity (also very bouncy but more stable than UB), Brooks Glycerin, ASICS Keyano, and even other shoes from Adidas that uses boost but mixed with other midsole materials, like Pureboost, Adizero, and some of there non-boost shoes like Alphabounce....for a more consistent/trustworthy performance.
I'd wear my UBs more for styling, matching color, short walks/runs.
I'd not wear these for running on treadmill or for use in the gym.
