It goes without saying that the Supernova Glide series from adidas running is one of, if not the first, of the best sellers and the most successful for the North American company. Although it is a training shoe, many runners choose this option to cover long-distance competitions, including marathons. The Supernova Glide provides a little more cushioning than other flagships such as the Adizero Boston 6, designed for lighter runners.
Thus, adidas running has already staged what will be the ninth version of the Supernova Glide, which comes with an extensive list of improvements, which have been adapted from things that have worked wonders in other major running shoes such as the Energy Boost 3 and the iconic Ultra Boost.
All in all, the technical benefits of the adidas Supernova Glide 9 are summarized in the following sections:
Exclusive cushioning system of the German manufacturer, which makes this model ensure a higher energy return, where it is most needed. That is, the more energy you invest, the more energy return you get back.
Optimized by a breathable technical mesh that is capable of creating a perfect fit, like a second skin, while at the same time contributing to a better ventilation of the model.
Here also come into play, the TPU panels, lightweight and seamless, which facilitate better support. With special mention for the molded heel counter, through the FITCOUNTER system, which offers a custom fit, since it favors the natural movement of the Achilles tendon.
With a grid pattern, this flexible outsole design seeks to adapt to different pressure points, thus providing greater energy, but also improving momentum.
In addition, this outsole of the adidas Supernova Glide 9 is also made with Continental rubber compound, which ensures unparalleled grip on both wet and dry terrain.
The adidas Supernova Glide 9 also features the German manufacturer's TORSION SYSTEM to provide extra flexibility and stability in the midfoot area.
The toe cap design has also been revised and improved to provide more room for natural toe movement.
As mentioned above, the adidas Supernova Glide 9 is intended for neutral runners as a training shoe, but it is also suitable for long distance competitions and for medium to heavy athletes. The drop the Supernova Glide 9 is 10 millimeters with a weight of 303 grams for the men's version (size 42.5EU) and 252 grams for the women's model (size 39EU) [Heights: (32mm heel - 22mm forefoot].
Following the adidas running slogan, with the Supernova Glide 9 you won't run, you'll fly over the asphalt.
