Our Verdict
adidas Supernova Rise
ASICS NOVABLAST 4
The ASICS NOVABLAST 4 and the adidas Supernova Rise are both well-rounded daily trainers, but the ASICS offers a bit better value. If you prefer a higher stack height with better cushioning for longer runs, the NOVABLAST 4 is a no-brainer and is notably lighter. However, the adidas shoe offers more ground feel and has better energy return overall.
