Runner's World Awards: Best Update
The latest Supernova Cushion offers an outstanding fit, thanks to the new last used in all the other Adidas shoes in this guide. It's wider through the midfoot, which many testers found comfortable. Also new are two heel plates, found in the midsole, that slide slightly on top of one another to isolate impact forces and slow side-to-side movement. This makes this update slightly more stable. Recommended for runners with normal to high arches looking for a soft shoe with a good midfoot wrap.
Wear Tester Reviews
"The cushioning and arch fit were excellent." --Lisa Benvenuto, 28, Allentown

"I loved the breathability; a very comfortable shoe." --Tyler Ernst, 21, East Lansing

"I loved that there are no seams." --Dena Criss, 30, East Lansing

"The cushioning and weight are this shoes best features." --Don Kuntzman, 50, Allentown

"The shoe had great ventilation and overall comfort. While I felt great running in the shoe I did feel it could use a little more cushioning." --Meghan DaPaolo, 32, Allentown

"I love the weight of the shoe and the way it feels on my foot. If I could improve one thing it would be the toebox--it needs to be wider." --Christina Bell, 31, East Lansing
