Overall

I wore the Supernova Classic (women's 8) for 10 years! This has been my favorite running shoe, and trying to find another to take it's place has been a headache, heartache, and incredible challenge. I was a 2:11 800 meter runner in college, and also ran XC. This was the ultimate shoe- perfect for mile repeats, a maintenance run, long run, quick 200's before a meet, you name it. A few years out of college, I was still racing (mostly 5ks) and they discontinued the shoe. I was devastated, and still have not found a shoe that compares. It would be AMAZING if the shoe came back, although highly doubtful as they developed an updated version of the shoe (which I didn't enjoy).
