Believe in the Run Youtube ↑

A bouncy, versatile $200 max-cushion trainer with a standout midsole and great grip; the rigid, unusual upper is the main weakness and the reviewers' pick of the two.

Best for: Versatile long runs and daily training where you want bounce and to pick up the pace at a lower price point

+1 earlier review from Believe in the Run

A versatile, fun-to-run high-stack daily trainer that brings Boost back in a lighter, more responsive form; the only real knock is a rigid collar that can irritate some ankles.

Best for: Daily training workhorse and long runs, with enough pop to pick up the pace for strides and moderate workouts.

Doctors of Running Youtube →

A genuinely exciting debut of Hyperboost Pro foam — bouncy, resilient, and durable — hampered by a fatal biomechanical flaw in the heel design (posterior flare instead of a bevel) that causes a clunky transition and overloads the shin muscles in heel strikers. Works for forefoot/midfoot landers and supinators, but heel strikers and runners needing medial stability should avoid.

Best for: Midfoot/forefoot strikers who want an insanely bouncy super-trainer with a secure low-volume fit for uptempo work, tempo runs, and even marathon racing for recreational runners.

EDDBUD Youtube ↗

A pleasantly surprising max-cushion cruiser with lively PEBA foam, best for lighter runners at easy paces, though pricey at retail.

Best for: Lighter runners wanting maximal cushion without clunky weight for long, easy, or recovery runs.

+1 earlier review from EDDBUD

A lively, market-disrupting boost-based max trainer that feels more nimble than typical max-cushion rivals.

Best for: Runners wanting a lively, versatile max-cushion shoe with a narrower fit

source

FORDY RUNS Youtube →

The reviewer likes the new Hyperboost Pro foam but calls the shoe overhyped and compromised — heel design is clunky for heel strikers, the upper is too hot, and the toe box is tight; recommends waiting for version 2.

Best for: Neutral midfoot/forefoot strikers who want a firmer, stable plateless super trainer for daily miles and up-tempo efforts in cooler weather.

source

Kofuzi Youtube ↑

Kofuzi calls the Hyperboost Edge the Ultraboost he always wanted Adidas to make: a soft, bouncy, surprisingly fast max-cushion trainer with wide pace versatility.

Best for: Versatile max-cushion daily training, speedy long runs, and a comfortable non-plated marathon option.

The Run Testers Youtube ↗

A luxuriously cushioned max-stack super trainer with booming bounce at easy paces, but a stiff heel collar that can rub on long runs and an upper pace limit make it better suited as a dedicated easy/long run shoe than an all-rounder.

Best for: Easy runs, long runs, and max cushion comfort at relaxed paces

+5 earlier reviews from The Run Testers

A really good super trainer with a firmer, bouncy ride and impressive full-coverage outsole; the upper is the main drawback but doesn't ruin the experience.

Best for: Daily training, easy and steady miles, and tempo runs for runners who prefer a firmer super trainer feel

37 miles tested · source

An interesting, luxuriously cushioned max-stack option with a fun, soft ride, but the stiff high heel collar that digs into the ankle and a limited top-end pace range hold it back from being a great all-round super trainer.

Best for: Easy and steady daily mileage and long runs up to marathon pace for runners who prioritize soft, cushioned comfort and value — if they can tolerate the heel collar

A bouncy, cushioned, and supportive all-rounder that Nick considers the smarter one-shoe pick for most runners despite a poor upper and a higher price.

Best for: Runners wanting one do-it-all daily trainer with plenty of cushioning, support, bounce at easy paces, and the ability to handle tempo and long runs.

37 miles tested · source

A very impressive platefree max-stack super trainer with one of the most energetic midsoles Nick has run in all year, let down only by a stiff, fussy upper that detracts from comfort.

Best for: Enjoyable easy-to-steady daily training and long runs where a highly energetic, deeply cushioned max-stack super trainer shines.

A successful debut super trainer from Adidas with an excellent bouncy, well-cushioned midsole that shines from easy to marathon pace, held back by a hot Primeweave upper and a rigid heel collar that rubs the ankle.

Best for: Cruising daily training, long runs, and marathon-pace efforts for neutral runners who want maximum cushion without sogginess.
