Adidas Supernova Stride

The budget member of the 2024 Supernova family, pairing an EVA midsole with a Dreamstrike+ forefoot insert for $110. Well padded, durable, and genuinely good value for beginners starting their running journey. Experienced runners will find the foam muffled and the heel landing slightly odd, and it runs a half size long.
