adidas Supernova +, the TOP running shoe in terms of price/performance ratio

These adidas Supernova + have seemed to me an economical and very efficient alternative to the top of the range shoes. Many times when we start looking for running shoes to replace the ones we already want to retire, we tend to resort to the top of the range models or those that sell the most of the different brands in their top selling segments. In the case of adidas these would undoubtedly be the adidas Ultraboost 22, adidas Adizero Boston 10 or even the adidas Solar Boost. Well, these adidas Supernova + are well worth considering if you want to have shoes with a very good balance between cushioning and lightness.

I have the great luck to have in my closet several models of shoes and as I always comment in the different reviews of shoes, one of the guidelines that mark me the most when choosing them are the sheathing and the feeling of initial comfort. In this aspect, if I have to evaluate these adidas Supernova +, they will get a very good grade. The upper in the form of mesh that is already incorporated in almost all models on the market is very successful here. It is very light, very breathable and, at the same time, very comfortable.

What I liked the most about the adidas Supernova +

Another aspect that I like in these comfort details is a tongue that although it is very thin, it manages to give you the feeling that it wraps your foot protecting it from the laces. This means, you can tighten the laces well and that padded tongue will make you not even notice it. And another point that I loved is the heel area. It is a reinforced heel to ensure robustness so that your foot does not move with the kilometers. But it also incorporates a padded upper area to protect your Achilles tendon. Those of us who run a lot of kilometers know that this is a very important area to protect, and anything that helps it to rest or suffer less impact is more than welcome.

There is another point that usually goes unnoticed but that I usually like to look at and that is the laces. First of all, that the laces do not become unknotted or loose with kilometers and that they are resistant. And in these adidas Supernova + the laces are very successful in both aspects. I make special emphasis on the reinforced rubber area of the eyelets of the laces because for sure they will guarantee many hours of running without wear problems.

Technologies employed in the adidas Supernova +

I don't usually like to dwell much on technologies or strange words, but for the purists I can tell you that they have the famous Boost technology in the outsole for the best cushioning and the Bounce in the midsole. It has 10 millimeters drop, although I have to tell you that the feeling is that it is a lower drop, perhaps because it is not as wide as other options on the market. This sensation means that if you are an excessive heel striker you may not feel as comfortable with them as with other more cushioned models.

Most outstanding pros of the adidas Supernova +

  • Lightweight.
  • Comfort.
  • Price.

What are the opportunities for improvement?

The truth is that for this quality-price ratio, I see it as a very good option. The only profile I wouldn't recommend it to would be to a person who is an excessive heel striker or who is used to more cushioning.

Who are these adidas Supernova running shoes for?

If you are looking for maximum cushioning I would tell you to choose other models, the adidas Ultraboost 22 in the German brand, the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080v12, ASICS Gel Nimbus 24, Brooks Glycerin 20 or Nike Air Zoom Vomero 16

If you want lightweight, cushioned, comfortable shoes that also invite you to give them a bit of a workout, the adidas Supernova + are a great option and also at very affordable prices, which is very important nowadays. I would definitely consider them for your purchases.
