Expert Review Sources

  • RunRepeat : 87.6 / 100 — « With the Supernova Rise 3, adidas clearly changed direction, and we noticed that shift immediately. In our lab tests, we measured higher shock absorption and excellent traction, and on our runs the plush upper truly stood out. We also loved how adidas refined the aesthetics. However, the shoe feels less lively and less natural than before. In our view, runners who liked the ultra-flexible feel of v1 and v2 may hesitate here. Still, all things considered, we believe it’s a clear step forward and delivers outstanding value as a daily trainer. »
  • OutdoorGearLab : 86.1 / 100 — « Built by Adidas around the Dreamstrike+ midsole, the Supernova Rise 3 combines long-distance underfoot protection (a 7.8 mm drop) with a breathable, secure upper. Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • Solereview : 85.3 / 100 — « Designed for road runners seeking a dependable daily trainer option, the Adidas Supernova Rise 3 stands out in compression testing with a seamless heel-to-midfoot transition (264 g). Its upper lockdown and outsole durability on road make it a standout contender at €180. »
