Expert Review Sources

  • Runagora : 85.0 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the Adidas Supernova Prima impresses in real-world road testing with its secure midfoot lockdown and consistent cushioning. Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €180. »
  • RunRepeat : 84.6 / 100 — « adidas has completely overhauled the Supernova series, and the Prima is their top-tier model for those seeking robust cushioning, a spacious upper, and stable ride—all wrapped in a reasonably lightweight package. However, in our lab tests, we noted that the outsole lacks the durability and grip of Continental rubber, which adidas often uses on other models. For a premium daily trainer, this absence is hard to overlook. »
  • Runnea : 83.9 / 100 — « Calibrated with a 8.9 mm drop and weighing 281 g, the Adidas Supernova Prima strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (281 g, a 8.9 mm drop). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €180. »
