Adidas Supernova Prima

The max-cushion member of the Supernova family, with a tall Dreamstrike+ midsole for plush easy miles. It is built for recovery days, high-mileage comfort, and bigger runners who want more foam underfoot. Think of it as Adidas's answer to the Nimbus and More Foam class.

Who it's for

Reach for the Adidas Supernova Prima for everyday training miles, easy recovery days and long runs. A wide, stable base keeps it steady without stability hardware — a good pick if you're mostly neutral but like a planted feel. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
