Adidas Supernova Sequence 5 First Impressions:
When I recieved the Adidas Supernova Sequence 5 in the Grey/Silver/Green color scheme, I was thrilled. At first look, the design is sleek, with a fresh new color scheme that becomes more developed towards the back heel. The heel has a snug, cushioned feel upon putting them on. They are overall comfortable and breathable.
Adidas Supernova Sequence 5 Sole Unit
The sole is lightly cushioned, but overall supportive. A larger ADIWEAR outsole offers durability and a larger Continental rubber outsole provides strong grip that delivers over more traction in wet and dry conditions. After running in both the rain and sunshine on a variety of different surfaces, I didn’t notice a difference between the runs in the performance of the shoe. A pro-moderator medial support system in the shoe helped prevent overpronation during the run, while the new dual torsion system kept the mid foot stable and a smooth transition of energy to the forefoot. The Adiprene+ in the forefoot helped maintain proper energy shift and propusion, which created an overall efficient stride. Adiprene in the heel helped with impact significantly. Adidas created subtle changes to the male and female models based on varying the flex points and pro-moderator medial support to create a more custom fit and stability support.
Adidas Supernova Sequence 5 Upper:
The mesh fabric on the upper is airy, softer, and breathes well. Adidas improved the upper with welded micro suede open overlays made with GORE-TEX water-p that create a better forefoot flex and maximum breathability. With a roomier arch and redesigned heel geofit collar, the shoe is comfortable and has more cushioning in the heel. It had a snug fit due to the cushioning, but after running long distances, I noticed the heel to become a roomier fit.
Adidas Supernova Sequence 5 Opinion:
I really enjoyed running in the Adidas Sequence 5. They helped control and regulate my overpronation, but were still lightweight. They have great impact resistance and overall helped stability. The open mesh on the upper unit created a breathable shoe and a better forefoot fit. I would not recommend the shoe for long distance runners, as I noticed the cushioning to wear down easily after putting 40+ miles on the shoe.

I am looking to replace my adizero Salvation 3′s and would like to know how these compare. As for the Salvations, I have been increasingly dissatisfied with the model over the three iterations and am not entirely willing to buy another pair. I have tried a few models of sauconys and nikes but they do not fit my feet well.
Thanks!
I have had two pairs of Supernova Sequence (4 and 2 – I didn’t know I was being sold an outdated model when I bought the 2). I liked my 2s better than the 4s; in my opinion the 2s were more comfortable and cushioned my feet better.
I am wondering about the difference between this shoe and Brooks Trance 12. (I see you haven’t reviewed the 12 yet but even if you could share your thoughts about the 11.) Would you say the Trance shoes have significantly better cushioning and stability? I would pay $35 more if I thought they were going to be as awesome as my first pair of Supernova Sequence.
Thanks!
LOVED MY OLD SUPERNOVA SEQUENCE WOMENS SIZE 7.5 MEDIUM. is the supernova sequence five women’s medium wider in the toe box than the past versions of the shoe? I need to replace my current ones, and have tried the new version on in running shoe stores. They feel wider than past versions.
what do you recommend/. where can I find the older versions?
I have run about 450 miles with these shoes and they are the best I have tried since started running 2 years ago. The other models I have tried are asics gel, NB 1260 & mizuno nexus. Now, I have bought nike lunarglide 4, but I still intend to wear the supernova sequence in long runs.
