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.
