user: I want to try something from Adidas. What's good in their lineup right now for daily training?
assistant: Adidas has some solid daily-trainer options in my data right now. Here's what stands out: **Adidas Adizero Evo SL v1** is the standout — a lightweight, bouncy daily trainer that doubles as a speed-work weapon. The Run Testers calls it a "landmark value shoe" with a soft Lightstrike Pro midsole and aggressive rocker that handles easy runs and fast work equally well. At $150, it's excellent value. Fair warning: it runs short (size up half a size), and the medial cutout means it's best for neutral runners who don't need extra stability. **Adidas Supernova Rise v3** is the straightforward daily trainer at $140 — true-to-size fit, medium cushioning, solid lockdown. Run Moore praises it as a "pleasantly surprising" everyday shoe that punches above its price point. Less flashy than the Evo SL, but a reliable workhorse if you prefer a traditional fit and don't need the speed-work bounce. **Adidas Adizero Boston v13** ($160) straddles daily training and speed work. It's firmer and denser than the Evo SL — The Run Testers notes it's a "good-value super trainer" that works well for faster efforts, though it feels less versatile for easy runs. What's your typical weekly mileage, and are you looking for a shoe that can handle both easy days and faster work, or more of a pure daily trainer?
user: What about a racer from Adidas? I'm targeting a 1:35 half.
assistant: Before I lock in a racer for you, I need one quick detail: are you a heel striker, midfoot striker, or forefoot striker? That'll help me pick between Adidas's two main half-marathon racers — they have different ride characters, and footstrike matters for how they'll feel under you at race pace. Also, what's your typical body weight (rough range is fine), and have you raced in a super-shoe before?
