Consensus Summary
The Adidas Supernova Rise 3 offers a moderate level of cushioning with a notable 8mm heel drop, making it suitable for daily training. Reviewers highlight its improved shock absorption and traction compared to previous versions, as well as a plush upper that enhances comfort. However, the new Dreamstrike+ foam, while softer and bouncier, may feel less lively and more rigid underfoot, particularly at slower paces. This bulkier design reduces the shoe's flexibility, which can detract from the experience for those seeking a more springy feel. Overall, it provides a stable ride but may not be ideal for slower recovery runs.
Pros
- ✓Dreamstrike+ foam is 20% softer and bouncier
- ✓140 SA heel and 112 SA forefoot improve stability
- ✓Plush Primeweave upper enhances comfort
- ✓Excellent traction with refined outsole design
- ✓Durable outsole coverage for daily training
Cons
- ✕Less lively feel compared to previous versions
- ✕Bulkier build reduces flexibility
- ✕Stiffness may hinder slow recovery runs
- ✕Rigid profile not ideal for varied paces
- ✕Only slightly lighter than Rise 2 despite added foam
