Adidas Supernova Rise Review: Can it deliver? 

Im in the market for a new daily. Just can't decide between this and the Novablast 4! Thanks for the review Fordy.

A good description. Like to Fordy. Happy monday.

The adidas sl is a pretty good daily trainer in my opinion

Men’s colorway is sooo nice

Can I ask is the Adidas Supernova Rise suitable to put a orthotic in them and do you have to size up?

Really enjoying your content! Recently got these and I like them so far but considering the Boston 12 also. Running easy miles at approx 6min/km after injury, do you think this is too slow for Boston 12 as a daily?

Ive ordered these and the ride 17 need to decide on one. What would be your pick? 👍

The heel bevel is huge, interested to see how it rides on my feet!

Hi Fordy, I am looking for replacement for Glideride 3 for easy to steady runs. Would that be a good alternative as getting Glideride 3 is almost impossible now?

How does compare to the Mach 5 (not 4)? Or Clifton? Interested in the Supernova Prima because I think it’s got more stack and lower drop. I got from this review that’s it surprisingly good because it’s an adidas daily trainer, but not really awesome, comparatively speaking.

If you had to buy only 1 shoe would it be the Super Nova rise or the Boston 12 as a daily trainer

Chris, I generally agree with your views but I am feeling that this shoe is being hyped by shoetubers overall but my personal experience has been different. Given the weight of the shoe and thick and plush upper I am having hard time your comparison with Mach 5. I ran in a pair of Adidas Supernova Rise at a Adidas event during TRE-2023. It was a short few miles but I am personally disappointed with performance. The Dreamstrike+ foam in these shoes is dull compared to other PEBA based foam shoes such as Endorphin Speed series, Mach X and PUMA Deviate Nitro 2. I am not sure Dreamstrike is pure PEBA or a blend of PEBA with something else (EVA?). The EVA rods is also nerfing the shoe. I went to the event all excited with my 2017 Adidas Supernova "Boost" (before the Supernova brand was sidelined) which I ran my first marathon and even those old shoes felt more bouncy and lighter on the feet. Perhaps you can understand my disappointment. That said, the shoe does look cool and I might still get them when they are 30-40% discounted for causal or gym use. I am still hoping that Adidas come up with a full Lightstrike PRO based performance daily trainer. Start with Takumi Sen 8/9/10 midsole. Remove the rods. Add decent but not excessively thick upper and heel counter, put an soutsole like Adios 8. That's it! Meanwhile unless you are a diehard Adidas fan, there are better options from other manufacturers.

just bought Puma Forever Run Nitro with FordyRuns discount at Start Fitness for £80! I looked at the SuperNova because I am an Adidas fan - ran Comrades 1991 in a Adidas Torsion low stack minimalist shoe 9 hours and a bit - hold a Strava Segment Record Age 62 since 2020 - 5000 attempts 369 people with an Adidas Boston boost. So I love ADIDAS but the SuperNova £130 versus £80 Puma Forever? Room for doubt. Good Review Thanks

Do you think it can match the Puma deviate Nitro 2? It takes some beating!

Is it a comparable or slightly better Puma Velocity Nitro 2 ??

how would you say it compares to velocity nitro 2?

What about vs the current SL?

I use the Boston 12 for daily miles. I won't get arrested will I?

Supernova Rise or Saucony Ride 17?

Finally a midsole from Adidas made of PEBA foam!!!
