Running and jogging has become a popular lifestyle choice for many of late. The pandemic certainly played a part in raising awareness of the importance of getting up and moving.
It's no surprise, then, that the Adidas Supernova Rise brings an exciting evolution to the sport brand's trainer lineup, offering several interesting enhancements for practicality and comfort.
Adidas Supernova Rise: The Pros

The first thing you'd notice is just how light the trainer is. Weighing only 278g, the trainer is designed to accommodate a variety of runs, from leisurely jogs to intense sessions.
It's built to adapt seamlessly to varying speeds and terrains, and ensures a consistently smooth and responsive ride, whether you're pounding the pavement or hitting the trails.
The design of the trainer is simple but not understated. A key feature of the Supernova Rise is its forefoot rocker, which boosts efficiency during transitions.
This subtle design aspect facilitates a more natural foot movement, helping me maintain momentum with each stride. Combined with the shoe's stability, it fosters a fluid and effortless running experience, making it perfect for long-distance training. I also noticed a spring in my steps when I'm running, most likely due to the lightness of the trainers.
The Supernova Rise also excels in providing lockdown. Its secure fit and substantial support provided me with stability with every step. I felt safe taking sharp turns as the Supernova Rise ensures reliable foot lockdown, reducing the risk of slipping or discomfort. There's no chafing on the heels, which is something I greatly appreciate.
Adidas Supernova Rise: The Cons

The only issue I had with the trainers is its narrow forefoot and toe-box that could be challenging for runners with wider feet like me.
That said, it's no biggie since you can work around this issue by purchasing half a size up for a comfortable fit.
Also, while the snug fit enhances overall stability, it might need some getting used to for those who prefer more spacious toe-boxes. Again, this is a matter of preference and I highly recommend visiting your nearest Adidas outlet to try the different sizes of the Adidas Supernova Rise for yourself.
