Supernova Rise: A Stellar Shoe for Everyday Runs
The adidas Supernova Rise is a recent addition to the brand's lineup, and it's quickly gaining popularity among runners of all levels. Designed for everyday training, the Supernova Rise promises a comfortable and stable ride, at least for forefoot strikers, making it a great choice for runners around the world who want to knock out miles without dipping into their higher end daily trainers.
Upper: Comfort is King
The Supernova Rise's upper prioritizes comfort above all else, especially in that PLUSH heel counter. I haven’t seen a plushness heel counter like this since the Saucony’s of 2021. It features a soft and breathable engineered mesh that conforms to your foot like a sock, but lacking in the gusset department, sad day. You know I appreciate a good gusset. The seamless construction minimizes irritation, while the padded tongue and collar add a touch of luxury. Overall this is a simple upper design including the eyelet chain, no major bells and whistles here.
Midsole: Dreamstrike+ Takes Flight
The heart of the Supernova Rise is its Dreamstrike+ midsole. This PEBA-based foam delivers a delightful balance of cushioning and responsiveness. It's soft enough to absorb impact on long runs, yet firm enough to provide a touch of bounce when you pick up the pace. Additionally, the midsole features strategically placed "Support Rods" that promote a smooth and stable transition through each stride. Don’t expect a ton of pop or energy return in this ride, but you will have enough support to make you feel stable. Think the opposite of ‘mushy’ in the Supernova Rise, this is not a soft or mushy under step feel.
Outsole: Grippy and Durable
The Supernova Rise's outsole is made of Adiwear, a durable rubber compound that can handle a variety of surfaces. The outsole features a unique pattern with strategically placed grooves for optimal traction, both on wet and dry roads. Beware at higher paces on sharp corners, I don’t foresee a perfect grip on slick, wet surfaces.
Conclusion: A Stellar Choice for Everyday Runners
Overall, the adidas Supernova Rise is a fantastic everyday running shoe. It offers a comfortable and stable ride, making it perfect for long runs, easy jogs, and even tempo workouts. While it's not the lightest or fastest shoe on the market, it excels in providing a smooth and enjoyable experience for runners of all levels. So, if you're looking for a reliable and comfortable trainer for your daily runs, the Supernova Rise is worth checking out.
Here are some additional points to consider:
• The Supernova Rise is a new option in the Adidas line up
• The shoe retails for $140 USD.
• The shoe is a firmer landing compared to many other shoes on the marketplace

Glad your shoe reviews are back, one of the best in the business 🎉

[@GeorgeMariusCracu]

For a super basic daily trainer, that price is insane. Here in Romania, that price is the equivalent of 25% of the minimum monthly salary and about 15% of the medium monthly salary. This shoe is not worth more than 80 dollars, in my opinion. And how I see things, all the running shoes on the market right now are 50% more expensive than they should be.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

George, I really appreciate this insight from Romania, helps us understand the global picture better.

[@deshkanagrikhoon]

About the price of running shoes ,you hit the bulls eye. They are just sooo expensive, insanely expensive.

[@michkras5006]

The quality is not so good anymore. Almost with every brand we throw money for a few months shoes

[@NamikSokolovic3778]

@@michkras5006 Nike, Reebok are no longer even close to quality, Adidas is still very high quality, I know that from personal experience

[@BassTonix]

I’m really liking the immediate post run thoughts! Great addition to the reviews

[@RobertHarridge]

QD: Current daily trainer is the Saucony Triumph 20 I picked up on sale for $85, and I love that shoe! I’m a bigger, heavier runner, and it’s light, bouncy, compressive, and surprisingly durable as I’ve quickly got over 100 miles in the shoes and are holding up better than the Asics Gel-Nimbus 25. I was interested in the Adidas you’ve reviewed, but it appears the 3 stripe brand still has some work to do for their daily trainers.

[@jjuel5]

Honestly the Supernova Rise is my current favorite daily trainer. Not sure why it just feels nice for those easy runs to me as a big guy.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Wonderful to hear this, appreciate this insight

[@fuksy]

Thanks for the review! Have you tried the Boston 12? Peace.

[@CELane-zv6uj]

QD: I'm running in the Asics Novablast 4. I had the Novablast 3 and it didn't work for me, clunky slow and mushy fast. So didn't have much hope for these but got 30% off retail for the Novablast 4 and said heck why not. Love that they formed it up and feel like it is smooth when slow and picks up speed. Literally just finished 10.33 miles in Novablast 4 and feeling 👍🏾 😊

[@brodyatkinson07]

QOD: My daily right now is the Vomero 17…. And it’s different. I’ve been a Pegasus line runner for daily since the 35 but I think that the vomero is what I wish that Nike would do with the Pegasus. The stability from the lower foam, and the ZoomX on top makes it feel like I can really pick up the pace a little without feeling too much of a difference.

[@brianpires8411]

Love to have some honest reviews back!

[@Pianoman1234321]

Still LOVING the Karhu Ikoni. The fulcrum guidance is great for my chronic achilles issues and it's relatively versatile. Just wish it were a smidge more lightweight.

[@m.topfer]

Asics Evoride 2 (880km) / Asics Noosa Tri 14 (400km) - great weight, durability and the rocker geometry is gentle to my Achilles tendon. Looking forward to add Novablast 3 to the rotation for slightly longer and slower runs (got them for ~60Eur)

[@dsaavedl]

My daily trainer is the Endorphin Speed 3, it just feel good for long runs and when I have to do the tempo run it is also responsive. I just love the versatility of it! 🎉🎉

[@mattbeier]

QD: My go to daily trainer is the Adidas Adios 8. The upper is one of the best I’ve ever worn and always get a great consistent lockdown. The shoe is versatile and is the closest shoe I’ve found to be a modern day Boston 9 replacement. Are you planning on reviewing the Adios 8? Would love to hear your thoughts since a lot of shoetubers don’t really know why that shoe exists in the Adizero line. Also, I believe the rubber outsole on the Supernova Rise is called AdiWear. The Continental rubber is still used is Adidas’ lineup, but on their Adizero line of shoes.

[@RunTommy123]

I agree 💯. The Adios is a great daily trainer for me

[@WhatMatterstoMatt]

QD: currently the Saucony Endorphin Speed 3 as my daily. Picked it up on discount not knowing whether it would fit in as a tempo or daily trainer. Big fan of the speed 1 & 2 as a speed day shoe. In the Speed 3 the upper & midsole seem more relaxed so it fits in as a solid daily trainer that can pick up the pace if need be.

[@gabornyers7091]

Liked the Original too, shortly will be cheaper for sure and then they are good daily trainers!! My personal favorite at the moment are the Scott Pursuit. Picked up in a Black friday sale for ridiculously cheap and so far I keep smi;ing on my easy runs!!!!

[@peasthree546]

My daily I’d the Boston 11 love the shoe it’s so durable and it’s great for long runs and time on feet runs I also love the pop that it gives with the lightstrike pro and the rods

[@ericwhite80five]

QOD: I keep a decent rotation for daily’s, but I have to say Saucony Endorphin Speed 3’s still take the cake. I like them so much I grabbed two more pairs during this past Black Friday sale.

[@David-tr9zz]

Triumph 20s, and just about finished with my Ride 15s. Got a Peg 40 to replace them.

[@eriktred]

I saw this in others lists of daily trainers. It looks like Adidas is finally trying to get a decent daily trainer on the market. I love their race day shoes.

[@benforeman9370]

QOD - still really enjoying the ASICS Noosa 14 after your review a while ago. Currently have 300 miles on my third pair, I usually get 400-450 miles in them before the midsole is dead. Still have one more brand new pair before I need to find a new daily shoe. Haven’t tried the 15s.

[@thomaspetalino5903]

Love the noosa 14. And you can still get them under $100.

[@runzization]

Thus reminded me of my supernova boosts&solar glides. While slightly heavy the Boost always kept form and bounced back. I always logged 650+ Currently in Pegasus 39,40. I like these because the zoom pods seem to mold to my foot as a secondary cushion and also keep the react in shape. *Maybe the Saucony Ride 17 with peba can be that old Boost?

[@kevinscott4938]

Saucony Triumph 20 current daily driver, got them for $70 on Amazon.

[@lindacutler1324]

Just got the New Balance 1080's v13 and love them.

[@aidanpendlebury2078]

Triumph 20 for €80 has served me for over 500km and I'll be getting it again, incredible shoe!

[@jollyroger1009]

QD: Asics Kayano 30 for me. Super stable, super comfortable, happy miles!

[@vetzaaak]

QD: Saucony ES3, Triumph 20. About to retire: Hoka Mach 5, Asics Glideride 3. Possible new candidates for this spring/summer: Asics Novablast 4, Hoka Mach 6, New Balance Balos.

[@RunTommy123]

I saw an interview with the Adidas peeps. They basically said the Supernova series is for people who go to the gym once a week and run once a week. That's its purpose. So they are upfront that it isn't for "daily" runners. I love the 3 stripes and will stick to the Adios, TS, and Pro

[@wildforthecats661]

I really love the look of this shoe, but I fear it may be too firm. I currently run in the NB 1080 V13 and Nike Invincible Run’s.

[@Marsubleu]

Asics novablast 3, of course. Super versatile and great looks

[@robertbauer499]

Saucony triumph 20 is my daily trainer of choice right now

[@tav4755]

Its firmer but the adizero sl is cheaper and just a more versatile daily trainer, . The old supernova that became the solarglide was awesome. Boost +continental rubber made it last for eons. Just bring that back with boost light

[@bradhulick8488]

Mach 5. I can use them for any type of run and they are so comfortable.

Are you still taking shoes up to 50 miles for a full review? QOTD: I got the ASICS Superblast recently and see no reason to switch out of them until I get value for money and 700 miles clocked up!

[@michaelmcnally3813]

Ha, I was thinking the same thing. Because Seth is pumping out the shoe reviews now, so it's seems like he is not? But maybe he is

[@psnSupergrobi10]

This review is the perfect example why your reviews are by far the best on youtube. I've watched many reviewers praise this shoe as one of the best daily trainers and the midsole as something special. Thanks for the review!

The good thing is Adidas often has random sales. For $140, I wouldn't buy it, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's available for $70-79 sporadically in the next 6 months...

Rincon 3 for daily miles. Superblast for long runs.

Nice Ben.

I'm still using a max road 4, for me it's the perfect 'do it all' shoe. It's definitely getting long in the tooth however...

I thought they were very hard and didn't give after 100 miles. I sent mine back in the 30 day trial disappointed. So many better shoes for a lot cheaper in my opinion

[@BrendanWise-ze6ih]

For adidas. Anything non adizero is going to be basic. Those shoes are made for the typical 3 miles causal runner . Adizero is for serious runners

[@kundierj4893]

QD: CLIFTON 9 👟

[@joemelo5696]

Can some one explain to me how this shoe at 9 oz got a score of 5 while the On cloud Eclipse at over 10 oz got a score of 9 on the weight category? It's so biased! I just can't trust these reviews anymore! Sorry!

[@m.topfer]

It is all about the category of the shoe and what it brings to the table. A minimalist road racing shoe can get bad score for weighting 7oz while very cushioned maximalist shoe with good durability is super light at 9oz. So yes, the categories are not really independent on each other and are partially biased. You can't do it purelly based on weight, otherwise the weight score would just suggest in what category the shoe is (and racing flats would be the highest rated :) )

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Bingo! thanks for the explanation.@@m.topfer

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Maximalist vs Daily Trainer categories, that's the difference. Thanks for watching.

[@joemelo5696]

@@SethJamesDeMoor With a midsole stack height of 37 mm in the heel and 31 mm in the forefoot, I would not call that a maximalist shoe in anyway. The Novabast 4 has a stack height of 41/31, comes in at slightly over 9oz and is considered a daily trainer. I happen to own the On Cloud Ecplise and it is a fine shoe, but way over hyped. It's firm, heavy, and pricy compared to the competition.

[@Wildbrooker4304]

Adidas just straight up struggling in the daily trainer department, even Nike have them covered in 2024. Why can’t they just use lightstrike pro in a daily trainer package???

[@Denisontherun]

Little confused as of why all the adidas reviewed are terrible. They work extremely well on me, while a brand like saucony for example is really not doing it. Picked up the saucony triumph last year for my long run after watching your review and ended giving them away after 2 runs, that’s how underwhelming it was.

[@annestrock4917]

I think I will stick with my Adistars for now ( really miss the old Bostons!!) . I'm currently using my Mach 4s for a daily trainer. Guess I'm getting old ( one more week til I'm in a new age category!)- because I remember when basic trainers were under $50!😂

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

Boston 9!❤

[@hooareya6261]

Spent Saturday afternoon trying on running shoes and those Supernova Rise's where probably the worst out of all . Adidas are nothing like what they were 30 years ago. These don't compare to what you could pick up on the high street sale rack for £25.

[@that_which_is_not]

Really don’t understand the drop, they put out some great shoes and I hear the drop and I’m instantly out. The new Adistar is looking quite good to me, slightly lower drop

[@runroemer7741]

First of all, I love the jacket. Excellent 🤌🏼 Nice to see that the supernova juuuust came in there as it was trending Ride 17 the whole time. This shoe is really interesting in where it fits into the shoe rotation. It doesn’t sound like the greatest all around shoe, but if I could only afford one shoe this might just be a consideration.
