The entire main gamers in working footwear have their workhorse, best-selling strains which were round perpetually. Asics has their 2100 sequence, Nike has the Pegasus, and Adidas has the Supernova. The Supernova has been round for a few years and this season’s model new Supernova Sequence 4 must be one other large hit for Adidas. This can be a pretty beefy stability shoe for vital overpronators, and the Professional-moderator Plus medial publish does job of controlling pronation, however didn’t really feel overly clunky like some footwear with vital medial posting footwear do.

The higher of this shoe gives spectacular consolation, with Geofit positioned on the collar of the heel which is a reminiscence foam that wraps the heel in a cushty, safe collar, and the brand overlays on the saddle of the shoe join the laces to the bottom of the shoe and actually lock down the foot with out creating any noticeable stress factors. Our testers reported nice safety or ‘lockdown’ within the Sequence 4 with nice consolation because of a breathable mesh with high-quality supplies offering overlays and construction. The shoe options 360-degree reflectivity, and the ‘sharp blue’ colorway we obtained from Adidas seems to be fairly nice as properly.

The mid- and outsole of this shoe is ‘the place the magic occurs’. It contains a fully-decoupled Formotion heel system which is designed to dissipate the shock generated at heelstrike. The look of it’s moderately wild- the pod on the lateral facet of the heel is totally separate from the remainder of the midsole and related by solely a rubber ‘bridge’ on the outsole. This decoupled heel, together with a Torsion system, adiPRENE within the heel and adiPRENE+ within the forefoot create a terrific easy trip with out noticeable interference from the medial publish. A few of our testers did remark that the bottom of the Sequence is moderately tall and beefy, which makes it not terribly versatile.

We examined the Supernova Sequence 4 on 3-5 mile restoration runs and weekend lengthy runs as much as 15 miles and had been very impressed that, for a high-stability coach, it gives a well-cushioned trip and that the pronation management wasn’t overly annoying for our testers who don’t want as a lot pronation management. At 12.7 oz. (mens 9), the Sequence is just not a featherweight, however we predict that for runners who want little bit of pronation management and wanting a protracted distance coach that can give them an opulent trip, the Adidas Supernova Sequence 4 is a superb match.
