**Current rotation:** Easy: Novablast 5 (263 km), Adidas SL2 (505 km) Winter: Adidas Rise GTX (191 km) Trail: La Sportiva Prodigio (218,5 km) Workouts: Nike Zoom Fly 6 (19 km), Adidas Adios 9 (400 m) Race: Nike Vaporfly 4 (88 km) **Retired this year:** Novablast 5 (585 km) - still looks fine, but midsole har lost too much bounce Craft Nordlite Speed (112 km) - never liked Adidas Stride 2 (279 km) - better for walking **Considering:** Something fast with spikes for snow and ice

These shoes are kind of all over the place. Boston 12 is a tempo shoe. And it sounds like you’re looking to replace it for drills/faster runs? Novablast is a daily trainer - pretty soft and massive stack height (for a daily trainer). Kayano 31 is also a massive stack height and about the weight of a tugboat. This isn’t a shoe for anything remotely fast. Pegasus is a dead slab of foam. So that’s not surprising. It’s also a daily trainer. While it’s more adept at faster stuff than the Kayano (due to its firmness), it’s an otherwise pretty terrible shoe. Supernova rise is in the stack height range you’d like, and has a decent foam, but it is a bit on the softer side. And it’s also a daily trainer so not the first choice for faster stuff. Alphafly is a carbon plated race shoe. So it’s good for fast stuff, but it’s high stack, carbon plated, and not great for much that isn’t racing paced. If you had issues with the softness/stability of the Novablast and Supernova, I would steer far clear of the EVO SL. SL2 could work well. It’s a little firm out of the box, but it will soften up. Some faster shoes with lower stack heights and no plate: New Balance Rebel Brooks Hyperion 2/3 Pegasus Plus (it’s on the firmer side, but responsive) Hoka Mach 6 Hoka Cielo Road Topo Specter Topo Cyclone Noosa Tri There are tons of other options that are more daily trainer-ish that will also do some faster stuff. There are also lots that have plastic or nylon plates that are more forgiving than carbon.

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!!

*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.

I’m 24, 6’1”, about 78 kg, and not flat-footed. I started running 3–4 months ago. I currently run in a 2-year-old pair of Adidas Supernova, which has lost its cushioning and is coming apart. My 5K pace is around 6:00/km and I’d really like to improve that while also preparing for longer distances, but I’ve started getting some foot pain. I have a budget of ₹10,000–12,000 and want one shoe that can handle anything from 5K up to a half-marathon. How is the New Balance Rebel v5 for that kind of training? Any other suggestions?
