Adidas Supernova Rise 3

Adidas Supernova Rise 3 review: what runners say

Fit

True to size in most cases. The toebox is roomy but the midfoot runs narrow, and the internal padding reduces available volume: runners with medium-to-wide feet should consider going up a half size.

Feel

Cushioning is present without feeling spongy, courtesy of the Dreamstrike+ PEBA; the ride is stiffer than the stack height suggests, with lateral midsole walls that actively guide the foot. Not suited for sustained paces.

Durability

LIGHTTRAXION outsole with extended coverage: minimal wear at 80–150 km. The Rise 2 showed midsole degradation beyond 300 km; data on the Rise 3 is not yet available.

Best for

Daily trainer for easy paces and active recovery, 8 mm drop, 35/27 mm stack. Suited to runners seeking rotation variety without a racing foam. Not a performer for marathon-pace sessions or faster.

Weak points

Upper breathability is poor in hot and humid conditions. The rigid lateral midsole structure disadvantages supinators; some runners report a noticeably stiffer feel compared to the Rise 2, while others perceive no difference.
