**Current rotation:**
Easy: Novablast 5 (263 km), Adidas SL2 (505 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
*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?
I am very happy with the gel-excited and adidas supernovas that I got on sale for training. I really like my new balance 880s, I’m big and slow, so really go for what’s comfortable to me. I just grabbed a pair of New Balance 1080s to wear in a race later this year. Joe’s new balance outlet had them super cheap.
IMO supernova is not as versatile as pegs for threshold paces, no doubt it’s the king of easy runs but I have to put efforts to speed them up unlike pegs
