Three options that are sure to offer something for any runner out there. The first to be released was the Supernova Rise<\/a>. \r\n\r\nThe Rise is all about lively responsiveness in the form of a neutral daily trainer. Next up was the Solution, which this review is about. \r\n\r\nThink of the Solution as the stability version of the Rise<\/strong>. It has added support for runners that commonly overpronate. \r\n\r\nLastly, the Stride which is the budget friendly option of the bunch.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_45820\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nDreamstrike+ midsole foam is the latest and greatest tech that you\u2019ll find in the Solution. This was developed from LIGHTSTRIKE PRO, which runs in the Adizero lineup, with added comfort and cushioning. \r\n\r\nAnother notable feature is the Stability Rods found between the midsole and outsole. Made up of dual-density EVA foam and designed to guide a runner\u2019s foot through each stride. Adiwear is the outsole of choice in the Solution, making for a grippy ride on various hard surfaces.\r\n\r\nThe shoe sits at 36mm in the heel and 26mm in the toe making for a very noticeable 10mm drop. Shoe weight seems to be middle of the road for a daily trainer at 10.3oz in size 9 mens.\r\n\r\nAt a price tag of $140, these shoes seem like a very good buy<\/strong> when you consider the new technology that Adidas has invested into the Supernova line.\r\n","introduction_text":null,"conclusions":"[caption id=\"attachment_45806\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nAs someone who likes and prefers lower drop running shoes, it\u2019s hard for me to provide an unbiased opinion on the Supernova Solution. \r\n\r\nI didn\u2019t like the pronounced 10mm heel to toe drop paired with the firmer foam in the heel. They felt like a hindrance most of the time. \r\n\r\nI think runners like me would much rather enjoy the characteristics of the Supernova Rise<\/a>. They have the same 10mm drop but a softer heel makes the drop less obvious. \r\n\r\nBUT for runners that land on their heels and are looking for a neutral shoe with smaller stability features added in, the Supernova Solution will be a great option. They are durable, well constructed and packaged up for a price that won\u2019t break the bank. <\/strong>\r\n","model":"Supernova Solution","_model":"field_5c1600ad0113f","who_is_it_for":"Ideal runners are ones looking for a hint of stability in an otherwise neutral daily trainer.","pros_0_pro_line":"Premier midsole foam","_pros_0_pro_line":"field_5c16011c4fed6","pros_1_pro_line":"No break-in period","_pros_1_pro_line":"field_5c16011c4fed6","pros_2_pro_line":"Attractive design","_pros_2_pro_line":"field_5c16011c4fed6","cons_0_cons_line":"Limited color options","_cons_0_cons_line":"field_5c16011c70a57","cons_1_cons_line":"Odd tongue design","_cons_1_cons_line":"field_5c16011c70a57","cons_2_cons_line":null,"_cons_2_cons_line":null,"water_resistance":null,"_water_resistance":null,"pros_3_pro_line":null,"_pros_3_pro_line":null,"pros_4_pro_line":null,"_pros_4_pro_line":null,"cons_3_cons_line":null,"_cons_3_cons_line":null,"cons_4_cons_line":null,"_cons_4_cons_line":null,"in_page_subtitle":null,"_in_page_subtitle":null,"image":null,"_image":null,"cushioning_type":"balanced","_cushioning_type":"field_594357fba24e6","cushioning_amount":"Medium cushioning","_cushioning_amount":"field_5c1a16c4d4c23","sizing":"0","_sizing":"field_59435b58fd832","heel_fit":"normal","_heel_fit":"field_59435bbc45b07","midfoot_fit":"normal","_midfoot_fit":"field_59435d1684838","toebox_fit":"normal","_toebox_fit":"field_59435d1484837","flexibility":"rigid","_flexibility":"field_59435d1284836","stability":"very stable","_stability":"field_5944aca41583c","midfoot_fit_copy":null,"_midfoot_fit_copy":null,"best_for":"","pe_timestamp":null,"ds_query":"+adidas +supernova +solution","_ds_query":"field_5c1600ad01052","release_date":"","_release_date":"field_5c176d6fffe21","weight_oz":"10.3","_weight_oz":"field_5c176d34ffe1f","heel_drop_mm":"10","_heel_drop_mm":"field_5c176d57ffe20","intro_to_the_shoe":null,"_intro_to_the_shoe":null,"main_text":null,"_main_text":null,"protection":null,"_protection":null,"durability":"9","_durability":"field_6272de0b5fdf5","responsiveness_&_speed":null,"_responsiveness_&_speed":null,"comfort_and_fit":null,"_comfort_and_fit":null,"lugs":null,"_lugs":null,"rockplate":null,"_rockplate":null,"good_for_running":null,"_good_for_running":null,"previous_model":"","_previous_model":"field_5c1a17279c9f9","usage_these_shoes_for":null,"_usage_these_shoes_for":null,"rrp_us":"139.95","_rrp_us":"field_5c176dba632ff","rrp_au":"","_rrp_au":"field_5c176dd363300","rrp_ca":"","_rrp_ca":"field_5c176df863301","rrp_gb":"","_rrp_gb":"field_5c176dfe63302","rrp_de":"","_rrp_de":"field_5c176e0d63303","purchased_from_name":"Running Warehouse","_purchased_from_name":"field_5c374d8cdb87d","purchased_from_url":"https:\/\/www.runningwarehouse.com\/adidas_Supernova_Solution\/descpage-ADSS1M0.html?from=guru","_purchased_from_url":"field_5c374d9bdb87e","heel_mm":"36","_heel_mm":"field_630506e911fdf","toe_mm":"26","_toe_mm":"field_630506f011fe0","carbon_plate":"no","_carbon_plate":"field_63065e4848c57","360":"","_360":"field_630662fb826e3","_video":"field_63066304826e4","who_should_buy_it":"Ideal runners are ones looking for a hint of stability in an otherwise neutral daily trainer.","_who_should_buy_it":"field_63132fa733767","who_should_not_buy_it_":"The stack height in this shoe is fairly pronounced.

A rich blue covered the shoe with shades of baby blue in the midsole and yellow accents on the sole and tongue. Surprisingly, I could only find this colorway and another; black, white and gray. \r\n\r\nUpon first inspection, the shoes felt well constructed and light weight for the amount of foam in the midsole.\r\n\r\nWhen trying them on, I could feel every bit of the 10mm drop. The shoe does not hide it well and with the EVA foam in the heel, there seemed to be little forgiveness right off the bat. Overall, the Solution felt true to size in both length and width. I\u2019ve always been in-between sizes when I wear Adidas. Historically, 11\u2019s felt too short and I\u2019ve bumped up to 11.5. The 11\u2019s received here were perfect.\r\n\r\nMy first run went down with no major complaints<\/strong>. A steady pace for 6-7 was well within their capabilities. I mostly land on my midfoot when running and the DREAMSTRIKE+ was quite lively and enjoyable through the midfoot and forefoot. \r\n\r\nI could quickly tell that they would be able to endure plenty of miles and would be a solid daily training option.\r\n","_first_impressions":"field_6313304ba000e","sole_unit":"[caption id=\"attachment_45808\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nThere are a handful of things to point out regarding the sole unit of the Supernova Solution. \r\n\r\nFirst, cushioning<\/strong>. There is plenty of it in the midfoot and heel of the Solution. The majority is made up of the DREAMSTRIKE+ foam compound that is new to Adidas. \r\n\r\nDREAMSTRIKE+ also comes in the Supernova Rise model. This foam is really impressive<\/strong>. After the testing period and many additional miles they are as soft and resilient as the day I got them. \r\n\r\nAdditionally, there is a more dense EVA layer of foam around the heel. This is defined by the light blue wave shaped design. Because the Solution is a more supportive version of the Rise, there is more of this dense foam found in the Solution.\r\n\r\nAs for stability of the shoe<\/strong>, there are three main features to mention. \r\n\r\n- The dense layer of foam previously highlighted is one. There is more of this layer in the Solution than the Rise. The Rise will have more give to the heel, making it feel softer while the Solution will be a bit more firm. \r\n\r\n- Also the Solution will be wider through the midfoot allowing for more stability as you transition through your stride. \r\n\r\n- Lastly, the Stability Rods help guide your foot through each stride.\r\n\r\n[caption id=\"attachment_45821\" align=\"alignnone\" width=\"1280\"]\"Picture<\/span>[\/caption]\r\n\r\nIt seems like an odd decision for Adidas to move away from Continental Tire for the outsole rubber. I\u2019ve had a few pairs of Adidas over the years and the ultra durable rubber was a mainstay. \r\n\r\nThe new Adiwear is a solid alternative but I can\u2019t tell if I\u2019m biased towards the previous offerings. I didn\u2019t have any issues with the rubber. Not quite as tacky as the previous material but still gave me confidence in wet or uncertain conditions. \r\n\r\nDurability wise<\/strong>, they also seem to be holding up great. The pictures in the review are after 100+ miles and you can see that there\u2019s little sign of wear. So I guess in short, the outsole material isn\u2019t a noticeable downgrade. Most runners will be quite happy with how long they hold up.\r\n\r\nAll in all, I found the ride of the Solution\u2019s to be quite welcoming. Slower runs or recovery days seemed to be the sweet spot for me and how I utilized them. I will continue to use them when they are the best option for the type of run on that day.\r\n","_sole_unit":"field_6313305d53bc4","custom_fields":{"model":"Supernova Solution","cons":[{"cons_line":"Limited color options"},{"cons_line":"Odd tongue design"}],"pros":[{"pro_line":"Premier midsole foam"},{"pro_line":"No break-in period"},{"pro_line":"Attractive design"}],"vote":"8","weight_oz":"10.3","heel_drop_mm":"10","heel_mm":"36","toe_mm":"26","purchased_from_name":"Running Warehouse","purchased_from_url":"https:\/\/www.runningwarehouse.com\/adidas_Supernova_Solution\/descpage-ADSS1M0.html?from=guru","comfort":"7","build_quality":"9","upper_rate":"9","sole_unit_rate":"9","landing":"8","transition":"7","toe_off":"8","traction":"8","durability":"9","value_price":"8","who_is_it_for":"Ideal runners are ones looking for a hint of stability in an otherwise neutral daily trainer.","verdict":"The Adidas Supernova Solution is a great daily training option for runners that want added support but don\u2019t need a full fledged support shoe.","who_should_buy_it":"
