assistant: Adidas has three solid daily trainers in my data right now, each with a different flavor. **Supernova Solution v2** ($140) is the standout for versatility and value. It's built on Dreamstrike+ PEBA — softer and bouncier than typical daily trainers — with mild stability via internal guidance rods. Doctors of Running calls it one of the best stability shoes of 2025, and notes it's wider-fitting and flexible enough to handle easy runs, long runs, and even tempo work. If you have mild overpronation or want a forgiving, bouncy ride, this is the pick. **Supernova Rise v3** ($140) is the neutral alternative — same price, same Dreamstrike+ midsole, but without the stability rods. Run Moore praises it as a pleasantly surprising everyday trainer with strong value. It's a bit more straightforward: cushioned, balanced, no fuss. Pick this if you're neutral and want a no-frills daily workhorse. **Adizero Evo SL v1** ($150) is the outlier — technically a speed-training shoe, but The Run Testers call it a "phenomenally priced, versatile, bouncy daily trainer that excels at faster paces." It's lighter (235g vs 264–266g), has a nylon plate for snap, and an aggressive rocker. It runs short, so size up a half. This is your pick if you want a trainer that leans toward uptempo work and doesn't feel sluggish on easy days. What's your pronation like, and are you looking for something that can double as a tempo shoe, or strictly easy-day miles?

assistant: Before I lock in a pick, I need to know a bit more about your biomechanics — this matters a lot for a half-marathon racer. **Quick questions:** 1. **What's your typical footstrike?** Heel, midfoot, or forefoot? 2. **Body weight?** (helps calibrate stack height and plate aggression) 3. **Have you raced in a carbon-plated super-shoe before?** Or is this your first? A 1:35 half is a solid pace (around 7:20/mi), and Adidas has two strong options in that window — but the fit and ride character differ enough that your footstrike and prior experience will point to the right one.
