Adidas SuperNova Cushion 7




I have always thought of shoes without systems, are lousy shoes… like the brooks hydroflow… Asics Gel… New Balance Abzorb…

My Kayanos 14… have been taking a beating from this fat guy… but less so nowadays… from lifting and absorbing a 101 Kg to now a lighter 86.5 Kg…

However I have been on the look out for a new pair of shoes… to take some pressure off my Kayanos… while waiting for the New balance 1224 … which arrived in stores however in EEEE width … and checking with them … I was informed that there is no confirmation on the arrival on the next November shipment for the EE width shoes… I give up…

So as my nightly bedtime reads are the runners World and Mens Health magazines… I noticed Adidas seem to get a lot of award and good reviews… I went to check out theirs shoes at their outlets… however skeptical and looking at the adiprene foam… don’t look very special…

After the wave run … armed with my Mizuno 30% discount voucher I went to their boutique at The Gardens, to check out their wave technology… tried their Wave creation... with their hollow heel and wave technology… looks very weird to me … also feels like I am on high heels and not comfortable… disappointed as there do not have many shoes with fore foot cushioning…

Dropped by Adidas The Gardens …did not know they provided foot scanning with gait scan as well took my scan… According to the scans… I am normal to high arch… with normal gait … to me is weird cause according to Asics I am flat feet to normal…. Brooks says I am normal and slightly high… this means that I have been running in the wrong shoes all the while with my Kayanos..??

Dude at the Adidas recommends Adistar ride & SuperNova Cushion 7… with the pace setters discount of 15% the prices are Rm 510 & Rm 340 respectively… steep man for a systemless shoeJ, but however I gotta admit… wearing the shoes and jogging in the shop… felt good … even more cushioning than my Kayanos…

Went to watch Max Payne last night, and while waiting for the movie, dropped by the Adidas in 1 Utama… they were selling the Supernova cushion 7 for Rm 299… Now I am the proud of an Adidas SuperNova Cushion 7 EE width … blue color J… new ammunition to my war chest hehehe… will blog some tech updates after my first run .
