A massive upgrade over the previous Supernova Rise versions and a cracking daily trainer — fun, bouncy, and durable, standing up well against the Puma Velocity Nitro 4 especially for runners who find Puma too narrow.

Best for: Everyday runners wanting a fun, bouncy daily trainer for daily miles; pairs well with a faster shoe like the Evo SL in a rotation.

Steve is pleasantly surprised: the Supernova Rise 3 punches above its $140 price in the mid-cushion everyday category, feels substantial and runnable, and straddles the neutral/stable line well enough to serve a broad range of daily trainer buyers.

Best for: Runners looking for an elevated everyday trainer from Adidas that blends fashion and function, including those with mild pronation.

+1 earlier review from Run Moore
