Our Verdict

Nike Pegasus 41

adidas Supernova Rise

The adidas Supernova Rise and the Nike Pegasus 41 are similar trainers overall. Neither is especially lightweight or high-stack, although the Supernova Rise has better cushioning. The adidas is a bit more efficient, with a more responsive PEBA-incorporated foam.
