Adidas Supernova £99.95

Fans of the Supernova Glide should know this is, in effect, version nine, Adidas has simply dropped the second part of the name. It’s a high-mileage neutral shoe that has been skilfully overhauled: less weight, a revamped upper, more traction on the Continental rubber outsole and more Boost midsole foam, especially in the heel. Our testers raved about the ‘bounce’, the ‘floaty feeling’, the ‘effortless pick-up’ and the ‘spring-heeled’ effect. The only thing to let it down (slightly) was a very narrow midfoot.
