Adidas Hyperboost Edge

The plateless 45mm max-cushion super trainer Adidas was missing, built on new Hyperboost Pro foam with strong energy return at a light 8.7 oz. It handles everything from easy days to marathon-pace long runs and fills the gap between the Evo SL and the Prime X line. Runners who want a firm, stable traditional trainer should pass.

Who it's for

Reach for the Adidas Hyperboost Edge for everyday training miles, long runs and easy recovery days. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
