Supernova Prima 2

Supernova Prima 2 if you want Adidas. Good grip from Lightraxxion and also stable and cushioned for a daily trainer. I got one on sale from Adidas app for 4000, 50% off from 8000

I’d try the Evo SL, Boston 13 and SL2 side by side. All three have Lightstrike Pro foam, which is more speed oriented than Dreamstrike+. For me the Evo and B13 were too wide in the forefoot; might be just the ticket for you. B13 should give a bit more stability. I never tried SL2, but I like the combo LSP midsole foam + almost full outsole coverage. I just completed a 50 mins cross country 10k on my brand new Supernova Prima 2’s. I expect that to improve as these break in, so assume that the Rise 2 should also easily carry you to that 1:40 HM. You just need a good day. Seeing that you refer to a 1:50 HM as ‘gentle’, I expect you to be a very fit 96 kg runner ;)

I just returned a pair of Triumph 23’s, because the forefoot fit didn’t work for me. But the sole felt amazing: well cushioned, yet not (mushy) soft, nice bounce to it and good rocker. Yesterday my Supernova Prima 2’s arrived, which feel perfect. I’m coming from 1080 v14, which is very soft and with 450+ km on them are starting to exacerbate my IT Band issues (desk job 😕). So I see where you’re coming from. For a medium-narrow foot, I’d recommend to give both my options a try. If too soft/high stack, I’d go Ride 18.

You could also consider Adidas Supernova Rise 3 or Prima 2. I have the latter for my long runs. I wouldn’t buy an Evo SL as my do-it-all, but I wouldn’t buy it anyway: I have too weak ankles and knees to support that wobbly sole beyond 5k. For me the fit was also off; too sloppy.

I picked Supernova Prima 2 as my longer distance training shoe. Offers more protection than the Adizero series, reducing risk of injury. I.m.o. there’s too much hype around the high-responsive shoes like the Evo or Megablast - they’re great if you’re actually just pushing for fast times, but that’s not what TRAINING is supposed to be about.

Less frequently recommended, but solid shoe: Adidas Supernova Prima. First edition is still out there on sale and has a roomier upper than the Prima 2. You can also try the Rise, which is the lower stack sister.

Hi dear runners, I’d have a question for the community as I’m starting to look into which race day shoes shall I lean towards for my second Marathon ☺️ My profile: 31 M 1m80 (5.9 ft) / 70kg (154 lbs) Running since 2.5 years HM PB: 1:39 Marathon PB: 3:32 Between heel and midfoot striker Slightly wide feet Slightly flat feet (I use of the counter insoles for some extra support on the arch) Next race: Marathon (target is 3:15) I ran my first marathon last year with the Adidas AP3 in 3:32. The shoes have 150km and I also wonder if I shall not simply go for them again? 🤔 I struggled a bit with the heel lock in and comfort wasn’t great but still had a good experience with them. I did a gate analysis a couple of weeks ago and the reco of the expert for my workhorse training shoes was the Adidas Supernova Prima 2 (which I like very much). They fit well to my slightly wide feet and the offer some good guidance/stability which we saw I missed with my previous trainers (Adidas Evo SL). I use a pair of NB Rebel 5 for tempo and speed work in general Question is which 2/3 race day shoes shall I start looking into first my next marathon? I clearly lean towards plated shoes given my time target (3:15) The expert recommended me the Saucony EP4 for their stability and comfort (feel like a good beginner friendly choice for marathon newbies). I tried them and they felt great! I saw that the EP5 will be launched soon but not convinced about the extra cost vs EP4 for minor improvements. Another pair that I’ve been looking are the good old Nike Alphafly 3. Are there other pairs the community would recommend me to look into? I like the EP4 but also know they aren’t the fastest (but does it matter given my time target?) Thank you everyone!

Nobody will mention them but for everyday runs in adidas’s lineup the Supernova Prima 2 are very solid. No frills good foam and stable.

I'm slightly taller and heavier than you and the Supernova Prima should give you that
