Runner's World Shoe Lab Test Results


We Say: The SC-2 is an update to an old favorite, the Super Nova Classic. As with the Adistar Control, it features Adiprene cushioning foam in the heel and Adiprene+ in the forefoot to create a more efficient toe-off. Adidas has incorporated its new Pro-Moderator "skin" material to the inside edge of the midsole, which bolsters the shoe's stability. It also comes with a decoupled heel, which should help slow down the rate of pronation. Recommended for heavier runners looking for a stable shoe.
