Research and Development Insights
adidas’ Product and Design teams conducted extensive research, including a study with 1,300 female runners, to understand the needs and demands of everyday runners. Comfort emerged as a top priority in running shoe selection. This research shaped the design and technology integration in the new SUPERNOVA silhouettes, leveraging advancements from other adidas Running franchises.
“We are very excited to introduce a totally new chapter of the Supernova franchise – our everyday running shoes. The driving motivation behind revamping the Supernova was to enable more people to run, more of the time,” said JT Newcomb, Category Director, adidas Running Footwear.
“When we listened to what was important to the everyday running community it was comfort that stood out and we’ve focused our efforts on creating a range of shoes that deliver that benefit in a way we are sure all runners will love,” he added.
Availability and Pricing
The SUPERNOVA RISE is priced at PHP 7500 and will be available exclusively via selected retail partners. Meanwhile, the SUPERNOVA SOLUTION and SUPERNOVA STRIDE will see wider distribution starting February 15, 2024.
