Adidas Supernova Rise 3 Men's Running Shoes

adidas Supernova Rise 3 Men’s Running Shoes

The adidas Supernova Rise 3 men’s running shoes are built for everyday road running and consistent training. They suit neutral runners who want reliable cushioning and support for anything from steady morning jogs to structured race prep. Designed for pavement, footpaths and treadmill work, they are a solid option for Kiwi runners chasing comfort without excess weight.

If you are logging regular kilometres each week, this is the type of road running shoe that protects your legs while still feeling responsive underfoot.

How They Perform on the Road

The DREAMSTRIKE+ midsole delivers a balanced feel that combines softness with stability. On longer runs, it helps reduce impact through the heel while maintaining control through toe off. With an 8 mm drop and a 37 mm heel stack, you get cushioning where most runners need it without losing connection to the road.

The PRIMEWEAVE engineered upper uses targeted laser perforations for breathability. That airflow matters during humid summer sessions or when you are pushing pace in tempo efforts. The upper wraps securely through the midfoot, helping reduce internal movement and hot spots over distance.

Underneath, the LIGHTTRAXION outsole keeps weight down while providing dependable grip on sealed surfaces. It handles dry pavement confidently and remains reliable in light damp conditions common through a New Zealand winter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the adidas Supernova Rise 3 good for long distance running?

Yes. The 37 mm heel cushioning and DREAMSTRIKE+ midsole provide enough protection for long road runs while remaining stable and controlled.

Do the Supernova Rise 3 run true to size?

They fit true to size for most runners. Allow a thumb’s width of space at the toe to accommodate foot expansion during longer runs.

Can I use these running shoes for gym training?

They are designed primarily for road running and treadmill use. For heavy lifting or court based training, a dedicated training shoe is more stable.

How do they compare to plated race shoes?

The Supernova Rise 3 does not include a carbon plate. It focuses on comfort and daily mileage rather than maximum propulsion for race day.
