(Matt/Sam) Stats Approx Weight: men's 10 oz / 284g US9 Sample Weight: men’s 11.85oz / 336g 11.5 US , 9.8 oz / 278g US8.5 Stack Height: men’s 37.5mm heel / 29.5mm forefoot ( 8mm drop spec) Platform Width: 90 mm heel / 80 mm midfoot / 110 mm forefoot Introduction Sam: The Supernova Prima is adidas first entry into the everyday max cushion road trainer category. Thoroughly modern, it features a mostly Dreamstrike Plus supercritical foam midsole (exact composition not disclosed) with below Support Rods which are a thin lower "layer" of rubberized EVA foam, and then, at the road a thin partial coverage "crystal " rubber type outsole. I think all of these elements are well integrated, and taken together, Prima delivers copious quite reactive cushion, support (very mild), a friendly heel landing, and up front a flexible toe off with a distinct sensation of plunging down into the all Dreamstrike Plus area (shown above). So, a construction ideal for daily training of the more mellow to longer distances variety with some pizzaz and plenty of cushion. In the last year adidas has relaunched its everyday trainers with Supernova Rise (RTR Review) a neutral shoe with some stability and the somewhat more stability focused Solution (RTR Review). Both also featured Dreamstrike Plus and Support Rods but here we have less EVA as midsole at midfoot but broader Rods, thinner rubber and a most importantly a greater proportion of Dreamstrike Plus. Both were fine improvements over the stolid past Supernova but I found them quite rigid, firm at the heel and not that exciting. Not the case with Prima! I found the ride pleasing and effective and along with the lighter more agile Adizero SL 2 (RTR Video Review) adi now has two very solid and fun to run modern daily trainer options. About time! Let's get into the details Matt: There is something about Adidas that stands in direct contrast to Nike or other brands. Adidas never, at least in mind, goes for flare or swag but more for steel and reliability. And believe me when I say it - in my mind that’s a good thing. We need many great brands in the market, a bit of yin and yang. Having not run in Adidas for a few years, I was looking forward to giving the Supernova Prima a go. My last Adidas shoe was the notorious Boston 10. Why notorious? Because, it seemed, as if I was the only person in the world who absolutely loved the B10s - can’t help it - your boy loves a firm shoe. Without much further ado let’s have a closer look at Adidas’ newest offering. First Impressions, Fit and Upper Matt: With regards to the fit, I would say that the shoe fits true to size and is quite accommodating although I would prefer the toe-box to be a tad wider. The color scheme I received is extremely eye-catching. At first I was hesitant if I would be able to confidently pull the orange/green/pink vibe but it was actually quite funny rocking the Primas in summer. The upper of the shoe is very well designed with comfort in mind, everything is geared towards softness and comfort to help push you through long steady training runs, no complaints here. The tongue is gusseted, wafer thin on the sides with a strategic padding through the center, great design. The laces are nice and flat and unlike in the vast majority of the shoes I’ve reviewed recently they are an appropriate length - compared to the usual emergency rope at least. The overlays on both sides of the shoe combined with a sturdy, internal heel counter make for a very supportive experience broadening the audience of the shoe in my opinion. Sam: The upper is solid in its support and comfort. It follows this year’s pattern at many brands in the more premium (>$150) trainer using a quite dense, soft and supportive mesh. The toe box is moderately broad. The midfoot is very well held with the moderately padded gusset tongue providing extra support at midfoot. Never any lace bite here, The collars are well padded. Overall we have a very comfortable plush upper that has zero compromises in terms of hold. I do wish the upper was slightly lighter as it does add to the weight of the shoe, although breathability has been surprisingly good. I concur with Matt’s excellent description. The Prima has a plush comfortable upper that does not compromise support, from front to back while also not over constricting the foot anywhere. The fit is clearly true to size for my medium to narrow foot with plenty of toe box room, midfoot hold and rear collars and heel counter that lockdown the foot totally but with moderation in that they are neither over plush or over rigid. Midsole & Platform Sam: The Prima has an approximate weight of 10 oz / 284g in a US9 based on my sample US8.5 which weight 9.8 oz / 278g. The stack height is 37.5mm heel / 29.5mm forefoot, so an 8mm drop. This stack height is in the lower range of today’s more max cushioned trainers. The platform width is a for such shoes moderately broad : 90 mm heel / 80 mm midfoot / 110 mm forefoot. I especially like that adidas did not overdo the rear and midfoot width, so no blocky rear feel here. I think it sits in a nice sweet spot, not excessively high in stack height especially up front on a broad but not excessively broad platform. The midsole is dual foam. Dreamstrike + sits below the foot and a lower salomon colored EVA (or blend) which serves as the Support Rods, as well as lower stabilizing layer (thinner than in both Rise and Solutions). At the far rear we have a friendly initial landing, and friendlier than the rigid Rise and Solution landings on the EVA outrigger which I think is a rubberized and hardened foam. We have 4mm (13%) more Dreamstrike+ than in the Rise. Dreamstrike + is a supercritical foam similar in feel to Lightstrike Pro but a bit denser, softer and bouncier. It is not an expanded beads type foam (Saucony PWRRUN Pb) and as such has a more pulled together feel and one suitable for a training shoe. The unique twist is the lower layer of adidas Support Rods, a somewhat hardened rubberized EVA foam array of rods which mimic the foot bones anatomy up front and serve as a lower stabilizing layer towards the rear. First seen in Ride and Solution, here the EVA layer is thinner overall with the rods wider and the outsole towards the rear less extensive with the hardened foam serving as the very initial landing area although I am landing on the rubber forward of the foam so far. The key highlight of the midsole is clearly a clear Dreamstrike+ foam experience whereas before in Rise and Solution, and in shoes from competitors such as the Vomero 17 also with lower EVA layers, the lower layer really made its presence known in those shoes as a firm and stiffer supportive layer somewhat disconnected from supercritical foams above. In the Prima, the Dreamstrike + comes to the fore as a consistent, deeply cushioned, dense but forgiving platform. The Support Rods are better integrated than in Rise and Solution, the rear of the shoe less rigid and firm than those shoes. I see that the rear rubber starts further forward than normal on the lateral side to soften landings and better decouple the heel. The rigid over done rubber and not as well decoupled heel area was my key knock of the Rise and Solution, now resolved with this design. Yes, the rear of the shoe is stable at the ground with no arch pressures and transitions very well off the heel due to the use of softer yet durable foam at the very rear. . Very noticeable, effective and highlighted by the front “V” in the visual design of the midsole side walls is the toe off geometry. The flex point corresponds to the visual “V” side wall design so what you see is what you get. At that point all the midsole foam is Dreamstrike +. There is a distinct gentle and well supported plunge forward from midfoot with an easy yet at the same time moderately snappy toe off at all paces, fast and slow. The Dreamstrike at this point extends all the way to the outsole and is key to the flex and rebound to toe off. Upfront of that the Support Rods layer broadens and rises higher for front stability and a moderately snappy response on toe off. While not super max max cushion at 29.5mm at the forefoot, achieving an easy toe off with big stack heights is not easy but here it is very well executed. Adding to the easy flex and flow is a relatively thin “crystal rubber” type outsole which does not over stiffen or harden the forefoot of the shoe. Bottom line: Despite the complexity of Dreamstrike + main midsole and Support Rods lower layer, the midsole is very well integrated with a friendly rear landing, a touch of at the ground stability through the midfoot and a lively easy toe off. The cushioning is deep and vibration absorbing, friendly, reactive without being exaggerated or sloppyand without ever being mushy (Fresh Foam) or over firm/rigid. This is a wonderfully effective “daily miles” midsole suitable for long runs, moderate pace daily runs, and recovery runs. Matt: Very hard to follow up Sam super in-depth take on the midsole - can you tell he has been reviewing shoes for a while now? From a less advanced point of view (aka my point of view) the Prima provides a very friendly experience for both seasoned and beginner runners. Why is that? Because despite being an extremely complex beast (very modern foam blended with more traditional foam combined into rods) it does not demand very much from the runner in terms of technique to get the most out of the shoe. Prima behaves in a very stable manner, even for heavy heel strikers without a wild rebound or out of control toe off. The midsole gives an impression of the runner being in control of the shoe which I find very reassuring, especially on longer runs, where tiredness creeps in and certain shoes would demand more focus on technique - Prima does a lot of the work for you. Being a borderline neutral / mild stability runner I often test shoes with my personal inserts as sometimes the shoe (be it the upper or midsole) will not work with inserts other than the ones provided by the brand. This is not the case with Prima, I have tested them with a couple of brands of inserts and they worked very well, gaining a bit of extra stability and becoming a full stable-neutral shoe, which I thought I’d mention in this part of a review just in case runners with similar gait to mine were wondering. Outsole Sam: The rubber part of the outsole features Light Traxxion, a new technology designed to provide traction in key areas while decreasing weight. The rubber, which appears to be of the “crystal” variety seen a few years ago in shoes, most notably at Saucony. Super durable, dull in response and appearing similar gave me pause here at first look. What is different in the Prima is that the rubber is thinner than the usual outsole and relies on its expected durability (we’ll see with further running) to reduce thickness. It is also very strategically placed with a lateral tongue shaped area towards the heel with the rest upfront covering the entire forefoot. The rear has an outrigger of the hardened rubberized Support Rods foam instead of rubber. I have about 20 miles on mine so far, and it is clear that while I am a heel striker, my landing is on the extension of the rubber on the lateral side. I have no wear at all to the rear of the tongue but might want the rubber to extend out a bit more to the lateral side as I do have a tiny touch of scuffing at the edges. As far as the durability too early to tell but the « crystal » type rubber is known for being durable and the salomon colored rubberized foam is hardened and said by adidas to be "outsole grade" so similar to the durable rubberized foam in shoes such as Hoka Mach 5. Matt: The outsole of Prima grips very well, however I’ve not tested it in any extremely wet conditions, as we’ve recently not had that much rain where I live. That is no surprise because adidas tends to always have great grip without aggressive threads due to excellent quality materials. The only complaint I have is the design decision not to cover the medial side and back portion of the shoe with the transparent, grippy rubber. I understand that this might be a weight saving decision but the shoe is pretty heavy as it is. 0.5 ounce this or that way does not make much difference but can significantly increase the lifespan of the shoe especially for heel strikers. The specific reason why I mention this is because I am a heel striker and after my first run (10k road run) I could already see wear in the heel area of the outsole. I should mention here that I am on the heavier end of the running spectrum (6’ tall and 183 lbs / 13 st). I don’t think this issue will affect midfoot/forefoot strikers. Ride, Conclusions and Recommendations Sam: Well done adidas! The Prima is for sure adidas first modern max cushion daily trainer and bonus one with an excellent supercritical foam midsole and a smooth, friendly non ponderous ride. No plate and none needed as the combination of Support Rods and deep Dreamstrike+ provides plenty of easy to find transition and toe off at all paces. Likely clear from the review but I much prefer it to Rise and Solution as it is more cushioned, easier to run and more fun! Sorely lacking for the everyday and even more « elite » runner seeking an adidas full rotation, I see it as the easier days trainer with the new Adizero SL 2 as the lighter, softer more agile, fun and fast shorter distance trainer with the Boston 12 the tempo shoe and of course the Takumi Sen, Pro, and Pro EVO1 as the race shoes. The Prima is a great option for very well cushioned daily training that is not boring, beginner runners, runners who are not sure how much stability control they really need and heavier runners. It also makes for a wonderfully comfortable walking shoe. What might I like to see? Somewhat lower weight which I think could be found in a lighter upper. That said, the upper is superb in its comfort and support. Sam’s Score: 9.5/10 Just the weight thing. 😊😊😊😊 Matt: I really enjoyed this shoe! It’s good to see that Adidas is creating shoes for one of the most exciting segments of the market - super trainers. The ride of the shoe is soft but never wobbly making for a pleasant experience. The shoe also runs much faster than its weight would indicate and could potentially be used for more up-tempo efforts for bigger, heavier runners who require a bit more shoe for these kinds of training sessions. The only thing I would like changed in the shoe would be the extension of the outsole rubber all the way back to the heel area, but as I mentioned before this may only affect far rear heel strikers. Matt’s Score: 9.5/10 😊😊😊😊 7 Comparisons Index to all RTR reviews: HERE Roadtrailrun Adidas Supernova Rise (RTR Review) Adidas Supernova Solution (RTR Review) Sam: Similar shoes with the Solution having more extensive higher reaching lower Support Rods layer than the Rise. The higher stack and thus somewhat heavier Prima accomplishes everything the other two do with a far superior ride: less rigid heel-better transitions and an easier more dynamic toe off and with a superior more comfortable upper but is $30 more. All are true to size and similar in fit Go Prima! Adizero SL 2 (RTR Review) Sam: The SL 2 was a big surprise! Softer, more flexible and more agile than the Prima, it weighs about 44g less and sits on a somewhat lower platform. Different in construction it features soft Lightstrike foam as an outer carrier with top end Lightstrike Pro as a central core. A true neutral shoe it is less stable than the Prima and as a $130 shoe has a more basic upper, I call it the fast fun daily trainer of the adidas line up with Prima the steady pace longer runs option. They make a great pairing. Nike Vomero 17 (RTR Review) Sam: Almost exactly the same weight with the Vomero slightly higher stack height both are the flagship more max cushioned trainers for their respective brands. Both feature supercritical foams but in a very different construction with the Nike having a quite substantial lower layer of Cushlon EVA type foam to the Prima’s more “minimal” Support Rods layer. In the Prima, the Dreamstrike+ foam is more prominent with a softer more consistent ride while in the Vomero we have more response if in a stiffer ride, so a bit more of a speed max cushion. The Vomero outsole has more rubber and superior traction suitable for dirt roads, The Prima upper is more comfortable and less rigid if slightly less supportive. Both are true to size. I prefer the Prima in this match up as it has asmoother more pleasant ride and superior upper. ASICS GEL-Nimbus 25/26 (RTR Review) Sam: The ASICS max cushion neutral flagship has a higher stack height and weighs 19g more sitting on a wider platform. It features a single slab of non supercritical but excellent FlyteFoam Blast Plus. Somewhat more cushioned, it lags in the ride department to the Prima as its broad heel is not as well decoupled with transitions more lumbering and particularly at slower paces. Its thick forefoot is more rocker based to the Prima’s flexible toe off with some rocker, something I prefer. Both uppers are true to size with the Nimbus 25 thinner, stretchier and less supportive than Prima’s. For those who want a touch more support and an easier to move ride at any pace the Prima is a better choice. 361 Eleos (RTR Review) Sam: Similar stack height, weight and broad platform. The Eleos features a somewhat softer bouncier PEBA/EVA blend midsole, a simpler midsole construction (single foam type), a lighter and roomier upper and a price tag $25 less. The Prima is more stable, its upper is more secure, and overall ride to fit is smoother and more refined if not quite as exciting. New Balance 880 v14 (RTR Review) A narrower profile,more rigid, agile and responsive approach to the neutral daily trainer, the 880 weighs 36g less than the Prima. It has a slightly lower stack height. Not as pleasant to run, it shines best for faster work, Its upper is true to size but lower volume (wides available) and while comfortable not nearly as comfortably if more secure than Prima’s. The choice will depend on the runner’s need and profile. I find the Prima more versatile as it ranges better to slower paces than 880 while losing somewhat as the pace picks up due to the weight difference and more snappy 880 ride. Brooks Ghost Max (RTR Review) Matt: The BGM was one of my favorite shoes of last year. No one was expecting such a modern, fun shoe from Brooks as they are a brand known primarily for reliability. The BGM compared to Prima is a step up in terms of firmness, width and control. It is not a stability shoe but is as stable as it gets without any traditional stability built in. If Prima seems too springy or soft for a runner the BGM could be a great alternative.

The Adidas Supernova ST Shoe is a stability running shoe that includes a Boost midsole. This responsive shoe makes it great for daily training runs.
2nd Attempt
Article by Sam Winebaum adidas Supernova Solution ($140) The support focused Solution, and its more neutral and very similar Rise sibling, are all new trainers with state of the art supercritical Dreamstrike+ foam main midsoles, a lower Stability Support Rods layer made of the Lightstrike EVA blend, comfortable uppers and decently light weights. The Solution weighs 9.81 oz / 277g in my US8.5 sample so about 10 oz in a US9, very decent for its 35mm heel / 25mm platform and all the extensive rubber underfoot. Both new Supernovas and the more uptempo Supernova Stride replace adidas’s heavy, dated, and cumbersome recent Adistar, Ultraboost and various Solar Glide models delivering modern training rides that don’t go all the way to the “elite” focus of the Adizero line. We love the many new Adizero racers and trainers from the incredibly light world record setting EVO 1, the Adios Pro 3, the uptempo trainer Boston 12 and the max max cushion Prime X Strung. All are light, radical in design, and effective. This said, it was clearly time for adidas to deliver modern, more mainstream and practical trainers for the everyday runner, and even those elites for their “easier” basic mileage days. As a more neutral shoe runner, I often struggle with support shoes finding the medial support overdone. Here the support is really all concentrated closer to the road well below all the energetic soft Dreamstrike foam so I was intrigued. Do they deliver? Let’s find out as I review the Solution and compare it to the Rise. Pros: Well and forgivingly cushioned with energetic soft Dreamstrike supercritical foam below the foot Lower EVA Support Rods and extensive outsole keeps support at the ground without harsh firm posts, rails, or hard plastic pieces pressing the inside of the foot Comfortable and roomy upper, great step in feel Friendly support shoe: very effective highly beveled heel landing transition. Plenty of easy front flex (after break in). Cons: Wish for a bit smoother, less stiff midfoot transition at slower paces. Less midfoot outsole coverage? Softer rubber there? Upper is borderline not supportive enough medially for more serious pronation control given quite soft Dreamstrike below the foot. A gusset tongue might help. Roomy soft upper hold may challenge narrow low volume feet Most comparable shoes Supernova Rise (RTR Review) Supernova 2 (RTR Review) Puma Velocity Nitro 3 (RTR Review) Brooks Glycerin GTS 20 (RTR Review) ASICS GT 2000 12 (RTR Review) Stats Approx.

Available now including at our partner Running Warehouse HERE First Impressions, Fit and Upper Clearly adidas is trying for a modern if somewhat conservative visual design with the latest Supernovas. Similar in design to the Supernova 2 of 2023, a surprisingly great $100 trainer but with older materials, gone are the angular (Adistar and Adizero) or bulbous (Ultraboost, Supernova and Glide) looks of recent adidas trainers. The Solution clearly says 100% run trainer and also not lifestyle shoe statement. The upper is a very soft pliable engineered mesh reminiscent in feel and fit of recent Brooks such as the Ghost and Glycerin. Clearly adidas was shooting for a great initial step in feel and they succeeded. The toe box is generously broad with the mesh having some give for broader feet yet with enough hold for my narrower to medium feet. The midfoot features an un-gusseted tongue with moderate padding. The “3 Stripes” overlays on both sides provide decent support and are backed up on the medial side by a semi circular overlay. I do think, given the soft pliable mesh, that those with more “serious” pronation control needs than I have might wish for more medial upper support as the upper support at midfoot does not quite align with the underfoot support. I had the same kind of issues with the Brooks Glycerin 20 GTS, a clear competitor to the Solution but with “rails” at the top of the midsole, an approach to stability I find more intrusive. I think a gusseted tongue might help. The rear of the Solution has a stout heel counter and a plushly padded achilles collar. The rear hold is excellent. The fit is true to size and generous for my narrower to medium volume feet. In comparison, the Rise (right above) has a slightly lower volume and more secure fit upfront and at mid foot (not as thick a tongue) for me, even if the mesh itself is very similar. Midsole & Platform adidas moves away from Boost and its older EVA foams with an all new supercritical Dreamstrike+ foam for the main midsole. There are for sure hints of the bounce of Boost but here the foam is lighter, somewhat quicker reacting and more consistent in feel. In similar fashion it rides like a “more pulled together” Saucony PWRRUN+ foam midsole. Looking closely at the midsole it appears, unlike Boost or PWRRUN+, that it is not an expanded bead type foam which might help explain that all of piece pulled together soft and bouncy feel which also helps with the stability of the platform. Vibration reduction is good. While not quite as reactive, the Dreamstrike is clearly softer and more forgiving and general training miles focused than Lightstrike Pro and Lightstrike 1.0 and 2.0 foams seen in adizero shoes. Below the Dreamstrike, we have a dual density EVA Support Rods system, the blue seen just above the outsole. They are not hard plastic or composite as in the adizero Energy Rods or even the usual very firm posts of traditional support shoes but actually are not overly firm EVA layer, although it clearly feels denser to pressing and on the run than the Dreamstrike above it. The layer rises up somewhat at the medial midfoot for support and which is mildly but not overly felt, and more so than in the Rise, shown below in comparison as the yellow layer. The Support Rods are also not as thick and wide in the Rise as shown below with Solution on top. The platform is relatively broad at 90 mm heel / 85 mm midfoot / 105 mm forefoot with a stack height of 35 mm heel / 25 mm forefoot ( 10mm drop). The platform does not go to the extremes of stack height or platform width of the competing inherently stable higher stack ASICS GEL-Kayano (RTR Review) or the Saucony Guide 17 (RTR Review) with its massive 105mm heel / 85 mm midfoot / 120 mm forefoot platform. The result is a somewhat more nimble and more flexible shoe than those two which rely more on rockers given their higher forefoot stack heights which make them stiffer. While I did not personally test it, a closer platform comparison might be the ASICS GT-2000 12 (RTR Review). Given the very extensive outsole coverage to the rear and midfoot which provides much of the stabilizing element here, flexibility starts where the black rubber begins in the curved central area. The flexibility is essential to moving past what is a rigid midfoot and is a common approach in more conventional support shoes. I do think the clear midfoot rubber could be trimmed down or softened as it is very firm and extensive and makes the midfoot a touch too rigid and flat on the ground feeling, especially at slower paces. And to roll off the heel adidas includes a sharply beveled lateral crash pad which I found very effective at slower paces even if the midfoot at slower paces was stiffer than I liked. In summary we have a quite soft and energetic underfoot platform with plenty of cushioning that relies on the low placed EVA Support Rods layer and the outsole for the support and less so the main midsole (or the upper). As such, one notices the flat on the ground overall profile of the shoe. There is more medial support than in the more neutral Rise with its thinner EVA layer and narrower Support Rods. As a neutral shoe runner who appreciates a touch of stability, the ideal Supernova would split the difference in the size and thickness of the lower layer of Support Rods between the two models and make the very firm clear rubber at midfoot softer to make the midfoot less rigid and easier to roll through. Outsole I previously discussed the clear role the Adiwear outsole plays in providing the support. The rubber is extensive and should prove durable. The front flex grooves are clearly effective in giving the shoe flexibility and reducing weight. As stated above I do think the very firm clear midfoot rubber could be made softer to make the midfoot less rigid or reduced somewhat in coverage. Ride, Conclusions and Recommendations The ride is on the soft and friendly side with clear rebound from the Dreamstrike+ foam and with the EVA Support Rods layer and big outsole providing the support. I am recovering from a November broken knee cap and my longest runs to date were both over 6 miles in the Solution at slow paces on often hilly bike paths in Aspen and faster on the flatter terrain in Park City where I averaged just over 10:30 per mile. I would not call it a fast trainer but my knee was happy and stable and my legs fresh enough for a 5 mile nordic ski immediately following the Aspen run. Unlike many support shoes which have a firm rear landing and an accentuated medial support feel, here the support is down low at the road and slower paces and heel strikes are well accommodated by the highly beveled lateral heel, even if the midfoot is a bit rigid and flat with the Solution also requiring some break in to get its nice front flex. Given the soft upper foam layer, the roomy upper which should favor higher volume feet, could use more support at midfoot with the collars also firmer as they are in the Rise which has a more dialed in fit. While not radical as the current adidas Adizero are in design, aggressive rides and materials the Solution (and Rise) clearly put adidas back in the daily trainer game for more serious recreational runners. I can literally say, until now, and since the original Energy Boost, one of the all time great daily trainers and a few editions of the Boston, it had been all downhill for adidas in the category of every day run trainers with heavier and heavier shoes and a focus on lifestyle crossover and odd designs. No longer the case that is for sure! If you are adidas fan who left because their mainstream trainers were heavy and dull there is no question the new Supernovas are worth a close look With the Solution adidas delivers a solid totally modern support type trainer just at the edge of being a neutral shoe and without going to extremes of stack height and platform width as other brands have recently or by relying on firm medial pieces to provide the support. As such it is an excellent choice for the runner seeking some pronation control but not “too much” or the neutral runner who wants a shoe with a slightly more stable ride. Sam's Score: 9/10 Deductions for overly rigid and flat at the ground midfoot support and a borderline overly roomy and comfy upper for a support shoe for my narrower feet Comparisons Index to all RTR reviews: HERE Supernova Rise (RTR Review) The Rise is the more “neutral” sibling but is very similar to the Solution. It is slightly softer in feel and has a longer, easier flex both due to its toned down less extensive support rods lower layer. It has a slightly less voluminous upper with a thinner tongue and firmer collar padding. I prefer its fit to the more relaxed Solution’s. Overall, despite having the same outsole, due to its more svelte Suppport Rods it has less support than the Solution if pronation control is your need and you have a higher volume foot. My ideal Supernova would have the Rise upper and a Support Rods layer that sits between the Solution and Rise. Puma Velocity Nitro 3 (RTR Review) The Velocity 3 has a very similar construction of top layer supercritical foam with bottom layer EVA. While the top layer foams feel very similar making me suspect the adidas Dreamstrike+ is also a supercritical EVA, the bottom EVA of the Puma is considerably firmer and extends all the way to the toe. The adidas ends up with a more cushioned, less firm and more flexible feel especially upfront. At the heel the adidas has a considerably easier to roll at landing at slower paces due to its big lateral bevel. While the Puma is not called out as a support shoe, it is equally as stable underfoot, if narrower in platform at midfoot and is more supportive at the upper level as its upper is more performance type fitting, lower volume and has a similar medial support semi circle that is lower more substantial and more effective. Both are true to size with the Puma a better fit for lower volume feet and the adidas more relaxed in fit and better suited to higher volume feet. The Puma is the choice if you want a trainer that is focused on faster paces with a more responsive stiffer ride, the Solution if you want a slightly wider more stable platform, more front flex and a more easy going any pace ride. Brooks Glycerin GTS 20 (RTR Review) Another approach to support, the Brooks has molded rails at the top of the midsole whereas the Solution’s support is at the ground (outsole and Support Rods). I much prefer the Solution’s approach to support although the GTS “Go to Support” of the Brooks has improved being less stiff and intrusive in recent models. Both have supercritical midsole foams with a similar feel and similar stack heights with the Solution more flexible and easier to turn over. Both I think “suffer” from a great initial step in feel but less than ideal midfoot hold (especially for a support type shoe) due to their soft mesh, lack of substantial medial overlays and especially no gusset tongue. I did not test the Glycerin 21 but our reviewers felt its “regular” upper was now more supportive. If I had to choose, it would be the adidas for its better support integration and smoother ride flow. Tester Profiles Sam is the Editor and Founder of Road Trail Run.
