adidas shoe question

This year's supernove cushion are much better than year's past. I would also try this year's Response Cushion. The adistar cushion is a lot firmer than either the supernova or the response. If you can get a hold of Boston Classics, go with them. Don't worry too much about their "control" shoes...they're just cosmetic to get consumers to think the pro-moderator is doing something. It's really not doing anything.

As far as the shoe being closest to the Wave Rider, I would say it's the Response, which is much improved this year.

Our college is an adidas sponsored school and i would have to disagree with the response being the closest shoe to the wave rider, it's much bulkier and not as flexible. I would say the boston classic or maybe the supernova cushion is the best way to go if you liked your riders. the boston might be a bit less than you are used to as far as cushioning goes, but they are lighter and a smoother ride in my opinion.

adi-star cushion.

Definately the Boston Classics, they're the closest to the Riders.

Thanks for the replies so far. I guess to be more specific, I never noticed any real pronation issues when I wore the wave riders. Now that I am running in the Supernova Cushions, my pronation is really pronounced, and I can feel that pain in the upper, outside portion of my arch.

The Boston Classic looks like a good shoe, but from what I can see online it doesnt look all that different in design to the Supernova Cushion. I'm running significant miles (100-130), so something that holds up well, and I really liked the responsiveness of the riders. I could feel the road (in a good way). Any help is really appreciated.

Tell your coach to switch the sponsorship to Brooks. Much better shoes. And no World Cup BS.

The current Supernova Cushion is a nice shoe, but it is much softer and less stable than the Wave Rider. The problem is that the Supernova Control is quite rigid and won't really replace your Wave Rider either. I'd check out a shoe like the Rotterdam or the Supernova Comp. Don't worry, I'm not suggesting "minimal shoes" as neither of these are super light. Both will be more stable than the Supernova Cushion without being as heavy and stiff as the Supernova Control. They should be close to your Wave Rider.

my school is also now sponsored by adidas so we have to switch from asics. curious to see how there shoes wear...

If you want a shoe with a little arch support, but not much at all, try the Supernova Classics. They are a great shoe that almost has no support like a neutral, but just enough to notice. Very good shoe IMHO.
