How it ranks
The adidas Supernova trails most daily trainers in our data. Durability and cushioning are its strongest sub-ratings. Looks scores well below its other sub-ratings. The rating rests on 30 runner reviews and 2 other rated shoes in the Supernova product line.
Confidence
How settled the rating is against every other rated shoe. A shoe can rate high on confidence with relatively few reviews of its own when its product line has a long record and external ratings from retailer sites agree. Confidence will score low when we have few ratings or when runners disagree.
Confidence
97/100
“A lot of cushioning and a wider platform than previous Glides—almost more Hoka-like, softer underfoot.”
“The Boost foam is just as good as when new, even after several hundred miles.”
“Sole wears through in under a month.”
“Very comfy to run in on tired legs while putting in 90–100 miles.”
“Adidas changed many things that made the Glide great and made a far inferior shoe.”
“Despite being clunky, light enough for tempos but durable enough for long runs.”
“Have caused aches and pains, as well as diminished recovery.”
“Plenty of cushioning, but still has enough pop to go quicker.”
“The left one rubs the back of the heel; requires lubing to prevent blistering.”
“Good durability and cushion, but pales in comparison to its predecessor in just about every way.”
