ADIDAS - Supernova Rise

I've really enjoyed the lineup of adidas running shoes recently. I have the Boston 13s and EVO SL for tempo and daily runs, Adios Pro 4 for long run races, and I've mixed in the SL2s and Supernova Rise & Primas for other daily mileage. I've been hoping and wishing for something like the Hyperboost Edge. With that all being said- does this takeover for the adidas Supernova Prima from a maximum cushion point-of-view? Or will the Hyperboost material and range continue to evolve separately? To have the Ultra Boost, Adizero, and Hyperboost or will Hyperboost fit into the Ultra Boost family of products? Thank you!

Thank you so much for your reply- keep up the great work!! Very excited for this shoe- my Supernova Primas used to be my traveling shoe if I could only take one pair, but the Hyperboost Edge seems like it’ll be my new favorite! I hope to try it sometime soon! Happy Launch Day!!

Nadownvote ako. Di kasi ako nagbabasa. Ahaha! Yung Supernova Rise 1/2 pala dapat na maganda yung colorway. Maganda yung blue or yung peach. Kakarelease lang rin ng bagong Rise 3. Magandang shoes ang Gel Kayano pero depende sa colorway. Blue and yellow gold ang meron ako. Binili ko para sana sa race day (full marathon), kaso pang-recovery pace lang siya (swak sa Z2 run). Sayang, nakatulong siya sa pronation ko at ansarap ng midfoam sa paa.

Despite all of the various sites like Rtings and RunRepeat seemingly measuring every metric and millimetre on every running shoe on sale, they’re absolutely worthless if you have a higher than usual instep as nobody seems to be able to measure it. It’s basically just pure luck what shoes fit in that case. Shoes that by the measurements should be perfect for wide footers like Adidas Supernova Rises and Mizuno Neo Zens wrap the dorsum so tight that they’re unwearable. “Narrower” shoes like Evo SLs and Puma Voyage Nitro 4s fit like a dream as they actually have enough upper space. Basically if you have a higher than instep, be prepared for a lot of trial and error, and a lot of orders and returns the same day.

Fair question. There is not really an average, we focus on use cases. Fast = Adizero, Comfort Energized = Hyperboost, Supernova = Supportive comfort. So for more of a supportive yet comfortable ride Supernova Rise is your go to, while if you want more of an energetic bouncy ride at max stack, you go for the Hyperboost. Depending on personal preference and/or progression of your running we have you covered

*Question from:* u/Flat_Olive8498 *How will the hyperboost running lineup evolve and how will hyperboost, lightstrike pro and dreamstrike + coexist? Will hyperboost replace dreamstrike?* Love this question. Adizero is built for speed, to break pbs , be fast and feel fast- to equip you for raceday or get ready for it, featured by Lightstrike Pro foam and energy rods. Hyperboost is built for max cushioning, high energy return resulting in a (non-plated) lightweight supertrainer- featured by Hyperboost Pro foam. Supernova is your daily trainer, with more supportive comfort , featured by Dreamstrike +. All can coexist in a shoe rotation or be used individually for their distinct purpose. I personally use Adizero Adios Pro for race day, Adizero Evo SL for fast training runs , and Supernova for easy runs, Hyperboost Pro ( I run a testing pair) became a staple for me in my rotation for various use cases, from short to long runs- the great thing it has that “hidden” gas pedal insight that you can always hit. If you need only one shoe Hyperboost Edge is a great choice.

My casual shoe is the Adidas Supernova Rise. It's so comfy. It's also a decent running shoe.

The two shoes I use for this are the Adidas Supernova Rise, and the New Balance 1080. My wife loves her Ghost Max 2s for this also.

I found the pain from Adidas Supernova Rise unbearable. But found Neo Zen, and Evo SL to be wonderful for tempo or long distance. Adidas Adizero SL 2 also works for mid-range distance.

All good points! Im not sure if Ive maxed out the pace. On 400 I repeats my pace often dips below 6 min/mile. Would I be better off with a “faster” shoe? If so how much of a difference would it make? Is the EVO really that much faster? I really dont know. durabbility is a bit of a concern as well since my rebels are starting to feel mushy and my adidas supernova rises still look and feel brand new, but that could also be because Ive read too many reddit complaints about rebel durability and my mind is playing tricks on me. But other than that, youre right, no reason to fix it if it isnt broken.

Makes sense, thank you! I love the Supernova Rise. Super cheap on sale, comfortable, durable, flexible, and stable for easy running!

The Supernova’s from Adidas could be perfect. They all stability elements. The rise and prima are perfect daily trainer with perfect stability, a great upper and massive energy return with 10mm drop. The prima is the max cushioned rise with 8mm drop. Nearly as stable as the rise but a bit softer.

I’ve found the Adidas Supernova Rise really good for slower paced runs. It doesn’t have as much foam underfoot as some of the other options, but equally it’s more capable at a steady pace as well. They are usually on sale as well.

Supernova Rise is the most different to the Boston of the 3 listed. I really like it for easy runs, with Boston 12 for faster runs. SL2 feels like a budget Boston to me. Can cover a bit of speed work but not as good at long runs due to the snug fit. More suited to easy runs than the Boston but overall a lot of overlap in use cases. I haven’t got the Evo SL, but it seems very similar to the Boston. Probably faster due to the rocker and more lightstrike pro, but less stable due to the lack of rods.

Supernova Rise is a really solid shoe. You might be able to find discounts on both v1 and v2 at the moment. This should cover all the runs that you are doing currently. I’d suggest trying to pick up a discounted Boston 12 as well. This will be a useful addition for when you start marathon training.

I don’t think they are that much different coming from supernova’s tbh, they are definitely less “supportive” but the fit is similar to the supernova compared to coming from other shoes/brands
