Good Shoe.

4/5

Overall

Adidas has really struggled to put out a good trainer for longer, maybe slower distances. They have tried to push the Boston line into this category, but lightstrike just isn't soft enough for non tempo efforts on concrete or sidewalk. I've trained in the old solar glide 19, the boston 8, 10, and 11, solar glide 4, and adizero SL. If I had a choice of shoe for a recovery run over 45 minutes at slower than 6:30 pace, I'm picking the supernova rise. It has enough cushion for sensitive joints, but still helps you to get off your heels. The upper is not built for speed and it thus quite comfy. It probably is hot in summer but I've not run in it over 65 degrees.
