Adidas Supernova Rise GTX

Adidas Supernova Rise GTX review: what runners say

Fit

True to size with a standard fit; runners with wide feet or those needing more volume in the toe box should consider going up a half size. Version 2 upper is slightly roomier than the first.

Feel

Soft, stable cushioning delivered by the Dreamstrike Plus foam and underlying EVA layer. Limited energy return: works for easy mileage accumulation, not for sustained paces.

Durability

Above average for the category: version 1 documented past 100 km with no appreciable degradation. Extended rubber coverage protects the midsole; no Continental rubber.

Best for

Daily trainer at easy pace, suited for runners seeking stability without a proper stability shoe. Appropriate for heel strikers on asphalt. Not suited for fast sessions or trail.

Weak points

The heel collar structure is considered excessive by multiple sources. The pronounced posterior bevel bothers some runners, especially on downhills. Lack of a gusseted tongue flagged as a recurring omission.
