The Supernova Rise successfully resets adidas's everyday daily trainer category. Powered by a 28.5mm heel stack of PEBA-infused Dreamstrike+ foam over a traditional 10mm drop, it delivers a comfortable 275g workhorse ride that blends vibration dampening with predictable stability.

Verdict: buySkip it if
You want a high-energy, super-bouncy trampoline feel for fast tempo running. Dreamstrike+ foam is tuned for stable, durable dampening rather than aggressive pop.
You prefer low-drop minimalist footwear that promotes midfoot and forefoot strike. The traditional 10mm drop strongly favors heel-strikers seeking smooth heel-to-toe roll.
You need an ultralight race day contender under 220g. At 275g, it is built for durable daily mileage longevity rather than lightweight racing.
Buy it if
