Adidas Supernova Rise

The shoe that relaunched the Supernova franchise: a Dreamstrike+ supercritical-foam daily trainer that finally gave Adidas a credible everyday shoe. Smooth, stable, and durable for daily miles and recovery days, especially for heel strikers. It is on the heavy side for its stack and has no pop for workouts. The catalog already lists its successors Rise 2 and 3, so this founding model was an obvious gap.
