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 have Prima 2 and I see it as a lifestyle shoe for everyday running errands, your work, home, outside, shopping etc etc I don’t see how your run in such shoe, it’s not performance shoe but designed for everyday comfort They weight 305gr per shoe at my US size 11

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.

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.

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.

85kg somewhere around 180-190 I guess. Some shoes that never get a mention on these subs are ones like Adidas Supernova Rise 2 or Prima 2. Absolutely brilliant. They are comfortable, absorb the weight without collapsing, have a low stack, and are very stable. They just disappear on your feet in a good way. I couldn't recommend them enough. As far as I can see the new Rise 4 are more aligned with the high stack trend and I won't be getting them. At the opposite end of the shoe design - Li-ning Red Hare 9 Ultra. They are bouncy, but not in a random way. They feel propulsive, like the bounce is pushing you forwards, really fun to run in. Strangely my HR always seems to have been lower when I run in them. Absolutely worth it over some of the western brands that are just evolving through marketing and price gouging rather than real innovation.

700km in mine and still going strong, didn’t even realise they’d done that much until strava reminded me So good for recovery/long runs

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