Bottom line
The Adidas Supernova is off to a fresh start in 2020. A shoe with the same name was first released in 2016 but there are barely any similarities between the two. Other than the fact that it is still a neutral daily running shoe that uses the well-known Boost cushioning in the heel.
This model borders on the performance / fashion line, making for an easy-day trainer and an all-day wear companion.
