assistant: Adidas has some solid daily trainer options right now. Here's what stands out: **Supernova Rise v3** is the best value play — $140 for a bouncy, well-cushioned daily trainer that reviewers consistently praise. FORDY RUNS calls it "a massive upgrade" over prior versions, noting the full-length Dreamstrike Plus feels lighter and bouncier underfoot. It has a wide base and padded heel that works especially well for heel strikers, and it handles both easy miles and uptempo work. Run Moore notes it straddles neutral and stable, making it versatile for mild pronation or neutral runners. **Adizero Boston v13** is the faster option if you want something snappier for daily training with uptempo capability built in. It uses Lightstrike Pro (PEBA) on top for energy return, sits at a similar stack to the Supernova (37/30mm) but feels more responsive. At $160, it's a modest step up in price for a shoe that can double as a tempo/interval trainer. **Adizero Evo SL v1** is technically a speed-training shoe, but reviewers often use it for daily miles too — it's exceptionally light (235g) and snappy with an aggressive rocker. Fair warning: it runs short and narrow, so you'd need to size up half a size. At $150, it's worth considering if you like a nimble, responsive feel, but the Supernova is more forgiving for pure daily training. What's your typical weekly mileage, and are you looking for something cushioned and relaxed, or do you prefer a more responsive, quicker-turning ride?

assistant: A 1:35 half is a serious pace (7:20/mi) — you're looking at a dedicated racing shoe, not a daily trainer. Before I lock in a pick, I need one quick detail: **are you a heel striker, midfoot striker, or forefoot striker?** That matters for these Adidas racers because they have different rocker geometries and stack profiles. In the meantime, here's what Adidas has for half-marathon racing: **Adizero Adios Pro v4** ($220) is the most versatile half-marathon racer in their lineup. Kofuzi calls it "a great marathon racer" that "non-elites will especially gravitate toward" — it's lighter and faster than the Pro 3 but more forgiving than the Evo 1. The rocker starts around 60–65%, giving you snappy toe-off without feeling too aggressive. It has a 39/33mm stack with full-length carbon, so you get cushioning + responsiveness. The Run Testers notes it's "particularly strong at flat-out paces and for high-cadence runners." **Adizero Takumi Sen v11** ($180) is the leaner, faster option — 184g, only 32/25mm stack, fiberglass plate instead of carbon. It's built for 5K–10K racing but absolutely works for a half if you're comfortable in a minimal shoe. Medium cushioning, snappier feel, lower price point. The **Adios Pro Evo v2** ($500) is their flagship, but it's a mixed bag — mixed expert reception, and at that price point it's really for elite racers chasing marginal gains. I'd skip it unless you're already a super-shoe veteran. What's your footstrike?
