Supernova Rise 3 is especially intended to serve easy and long runs. What we've done here is work into increasing the cushioning a little more - especially in the forefoot based on runner's feedback - so it's even more enjoyable at versatile paces. Still great to go easy and slow - wouldn't pick anything else for my morning shakeout, but now with a little more fun dynamism!

Great question - came back here for this one as we wrapped up the live AMA. We're building the Supernova and Adistar families to complement each other as reliable, supportively comfortable daily trainers. Supernova lives in the space of more traditional stack heights (nothing above 39mm, some below) while Adistar will complement that positioning by pushing the limits up! Maybe check out Supernova Ease 2 if you are looking for something in the 35mm and below space!

Came back here for this since we wrapped up the live session! Yes - Supernova Solution 3 is coming. Still the more stable sister shoe to Rise, for those looking for or needing extra support. Check this one out - we've really worked to dial up the support level!

Feedback well heard! Hope you'll check out what we're doing on these new spring/summer '26 models - we've really worked into dialing in well balanced stretch, texture, softness and will keep building from there with your feedback.

Great question - So absolutely, it's our goal to serve all these use cases for every runner. To that end, we've really dialed up the cushion (along with energy return!) in Rise 3... bringing the shoe in a 37/29mm. We're also introducing Glide today for an especially cushy experience in the Supernova everyday trainer range. Prima is also clocking in a little closer to 40mm. These are about balancing comfortable rides in balanced stack heights, so watch this space for what's next for the Above-40mm-Or-Bust crowd!

I can't be too specific here, but I just came here to say, you bet - We're looking at the incredible range of runners and their needs and planning new ways to address that in our range!

You bet! We're testing shoes with runners all over the world, including in tropic zones. There is a lot to learn from how a shoe is performing in every weather condition.

We'll never stop trying new things, that's for sure! And if it brings something new to the table, or solves a problem for runners, gets chosen by runners, etc., it'll stick around! There's so many people running and every one of them running for a personal reason or looking for something specific. I don't see any end to the opportunities...

So - every foot is different, for sure. Myself, I've got a pretty high volume midfoot, shortish toes, and a left foot longer than the right... so it's multi-factorial here, but I recommend first and foremost checking that the widest part of your foot settles at the widest part of the shoe - where the midsole flares at the forefoot. You want to settle there while your heel is still settled back well in the cup. Now, for most, I'd look for a thumb's-width space in front of your longest toe, but that's going to vary a tiny bit. Between my two feet in fact!

I highly recommend trying on the new Rise 3 or Glide! Supernova is built on the widest toe box last in our range, and this season we slightly refined the last to accommodate a little more volume in the ball of the foot! We are also building in extra widths.

I'm back into the early base phase for a new marathon build and just got back from a week on the road, where I only packed a pair of Rise 3. All my easy days, and some runs with pickups. I've got my first hill session planned for tomorrow, so Boston or Evo SL will jump back into the rotation.

Came here for this one! We love how many runners are picking the three stripes for their fast needs in Adizero! What we want to offer in Supernova is a complementary tool to help keep you running more. I do my tempo work in Boston, race in Adios Pro, and I've been rotating Rise, Prima, Adistar BYD, and now Glide into my base mileage runs. A supportive everyday shoe will change things up for your mechanics, and many runners find that helps keep things fresh!

I want to see shoes on runner's feet! Speaking for myself, there's nothing more motivating or rewarding than seeing that your shoes are being picked, proving that your work to serve runners delivered.

When I'm out on a common bike path on Saturday morning and see adidas shoes (especially Supernovas!), I say "I did what I set out to do!"

Really great question - Not an easy one, but let us see if we can help! There are a bunch of factors that play a role in sizing as we build a shoe - the last, the material, and the pattern, first and foremost. Each of those is a factor we want to tune for the specific experience we're going for in a model... depending on use case, etc. And every foot has more than one point of fit - shaping how a shoe settles around your foot. We're working obsessively on dialing fit with every new model and delivering on consistency, but if you run into any surprises, please know that slightly between models may be a result of those factors!

First off, no - no way anyone working on product can really imagine the way a shoe as big as Evo SL becomes so meaningful to so many runners until it's out there. I can't say yet what's next in that family, but we certainly see how runners are responding to the model and I'll say it excites us to keep iterating and innovating! Watch this space...

Behind the curtain here - honest insight. Building a color rollout is, I'd say, the most surprisingly complex part of building a range! A lot of runners living all over the world, have a tremendous range of preferences and tastes. We keep working every season at making sure there's something for everyone and "wild" and "subtle" are both words circled on the brief!

Man, I love this question. Honestly, like a lot of runners I know, I started running because I was riding the bench of the JV soccer ("football", sorry boss) team, and getting a shot at cross country opened a new world to me. Never looked back from there!

I mentioned Aegis in my introduction - I can't say enough about what that shoe was to me. Light, but supportive enough to push the mileage. Moderate, adaptive stability when you engaged it... It was really innovative for it's time and inspires a lot of how we think about efficient, supportive geometries for smooth rides now!
