Great for steady training: cushioning is sufficient but not excessive, the midsole rods provide stability without being too "race-oriented."
Recommendation: Use as your daily trainer/mileage shoe to build running habits and accumulate kilometers.
The adidas Supernova Rise launched in 2024 as a new daily trainer and continued to sell strongly through 2025, built around comfort and stability. It particularly suits runners just beginning to build a running habit or doing long-distance easy training. Its midsole uses the new Dreamstrike+ super foam for a soft ride with stable support, and the built-in Support Rods system helps a smooth heel-to-forefoot transition while reducing energy loss. Its 25/35mm stack with a 10mm drop follows a slightly heel-biased, stable geometry. The upper is lightweight engineered mesh with good breathability, using eco-conscious dyeing technology. The Adiwear abrasion-resistant rubber outsole suits asphalt and PU tracks. The overall ride is on the softer side, making it ideal for recovery runs, aerobic training and long easy runs. At around 243g it is lightweight for a daily trainer.
