Expert Review Sources

  • Running Shoes Guru : 90.5 / 100 — « Built by Adidas around the Dreamstrike+ midsole, the Supernova Prima 3 impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 89.6 / 100 — « The adidas Supernova Prima 3 is a clear step forward for the series. We found in the lab that the new foam delivers excellent energy return, while the redesigned tongue, roomy fit, and smoother rocker create a more comfortable and enjoyable ride than before. We were also impressed by how adidas achieved good stability without resorting to an extra-wide platform, preserving the agile feel that sets the Supernova series apart from many rivals. The added weight is the biggest compromise and reduces its versatility, but we still believe it's a very good daily trainer. »

A smart choice for runners looking for a 11.2 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
