As adidas' top end shoe it is no surprise that it features all their flagship technologies. The shoe has a lot of cushioning that gives a nice bouncy feel and a good level of support. It's responsiveness is okay but if you don't need a high level of protection the Supernova Control will offer good protection with a lighter, faster feel. This shoe really is one for keeping you comfortable when running high mileage, or if you are looking for a very comfortable shoe for lower mileage.
