Arrow Hit is the sane choice for most buyers; AT10 Luxury Genius is the right-side specialist's frame for advanced players.
A wide gulf at £45 apart, and these are genuinely different categories of racket. The Adidas Arrow Hit at £120 is a round-shape EVA Soft beginner-improver frame with a sub-365g weight and a friendly 265mm balance. The Nox AT10 Luxury Genius at £165 is the Agustin Tapia signature - diamond shape, hard EVA core, top-heavy 275mm balance, built specifically for the right-side player who finishes points with vibora and bandeja from the back court. These aren't really alternatives in any meaningful sense. Buy the Adidas Arrow Hit if you're under 3.5, learning, or playing recreationally less than weekly, otherwise go for the Nox AT10 Luxury Genius. The AT10 is one of the best diamonds on the market for advanced players, but the operative word is advanced - if you can't yet hit a clean overhead consistently, you'll just bash your elbow and wonder where the supposed power went. Most UK club shoppers comparing these should honestly be on the Arrow Hit; the AT10 is for tournament-bound right-side players only.
