Upper
The Supernova Sequence Boost 7 features an engineered mesh upper that’s not only breathable but also allows for a uniquely customized fit. The material is able to adapt completely to the wearer’s foot shape, and the upper’s midfoot section wraps around for a truly sock-like fit that has them feeling secure and cushioned. In addition, a hard synthetic material forms a foot cage around the shoe’s heel and midfoot area. A traditional lacing system featuring flat laces further customizes the wearer’s unique fit. Reviewers were extremely happy with its level of comfort and noted that the adaptable material helped prevent all types of foot irritation.
Midsole
The midsole of the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 is fully equipped with stabilizing features, which makes pronators extremely happy. As the name of the shoe suggests, Boost technology is integrated to provide an incredibly high level of shock absorption and energy transfer. The Torsion foot system, based in the midfoot, enables a completely natural stride while helping the midsole retain its shape. An EVA stable frame goes through the length of the foot to provide further support. Finally, medial and lateral support system provide balance and keep discomfort at bay. With all of these features combined, those with pronation feel completely supported and stabilized throughout their day.
Outsole
The Supernova Sequence Boost 7, like several other Adidas models, has a Continental rubber outsole for a strong grip on both wet and dry surfaces. Its tread pattern is based on the one found on car tires, which provides an incredibly high level of traction. Reviewers also noted how durable this material was, as they’ve used the shoe several times for long-distance running and were impressed by how well it resisted wear and tear. This exact feature also made it their ideal shoe for marathon running.
Breathability
The engineered mesh that constructs the Supernova Sequence Boost 7’s upper has been given a great deal of praise for its breathable wear. As it adapts to the wearer’s individual foot shape, ventilation is provided to reduce the level of humidity inside the shoe. Aside from feeling drier by the end of the day, reviewers also pointed out that they had less irritation and infections that would normally be caused by lack of airflow and sweat.
Comfort
Aside from its level of support and structure, reviewers are also very happy with how comfortable the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 is. Between its cushiony yet corrective midsole and adaptive, sock-like upper, reviewers have noticed a huge reduction in pain and irritation after continuous wear. Aside from pronation, buyers with shin splints have also felt relief while wearing this shoe. That said, its level of comfort is hampered a bit by two significant downsides. Buyers have noticed that this shoe has a significantly longer break-in time than may are used to. In addition, a number of reviewers have complained that this version feels narrower than the previous model. Therefore, those with wider feet should look elsewhere.
Style
Reviewers seem to be evenly split when it comes to the appearance of the Supernova Sequence Boost 7. Some find it perfectly sporty, while others find it unimpressive and wish that it had more color options. The hard, synthetic material that wraps around the shoe’s heel and midfoot acts as a stabilizing foot cage and features a traditional lacing system with flat laces. It even showcases Adidas’ classic striped design. The most widely sold options are black with red detailing and black with neon pink. There are also bright purple and neon yellow options for those who really enjoy that pop of color.
Durability
Because durability is what the Supernova line is known for, the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 would naturally be the same. The shoe’s Continental rubber outsole is arguably it’s most sturdy feature, able to hold up on multiple everyday surfaces and perform in various types of weather. The various materials that make up its midsole also prove to be quite strong, as they are able to cushion the runner and counter pronation without losing their shape. Even though the upper is constructed of mesh, its ability to move along with the foot makes it much longer lasting than similar material. Reviewers did note, however, that the shoe’s knit upper and foot cage would begin to come apart after some length of time.
Protection
Reviewers are thrilled that the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 offers an incredible amount of protection from both physical pain and outside elements. Not only does the Continental rubber outsole prevent slips and falls on wet surfaces, but its durable nature also ensures that it can’t be easily penetrated by sharp objects. The midsole’s EVA stable frame, Boost technology, Torsion system, and dual support sections all work together to ensure that the runner is both stabilized and cushioned. In addition, the breathable mesh upper actively works to prevent possible infections and blisters by moving along with the foot and allowing proper ventilation.
Responsiveness
The Supernova Sequence Boost 7 is chock full of responsive features which greatly improve both athletic activities and everyday life for reviewers. Because its outsole is specially designed to perform in both wet and dry conditions, runners can feel secure wearing these if they’re out jogging when the weather suddenly changes. The Boost technology within its midsole works to not only absorb the impact of each step but also transfer that energy right back into the runner’s movements. This gives an added spring or “boost” to each step. The shoe’s Torsion system and support panels actively work to counter pronation and ensure the most natural heel-to-toe movements possible. The engineered mesh upper is most noticeable, as it completely adapts to the shape of the wearer’s foot and continues to move with them throughout the day.
Support
As with all stability shoes, the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 has proven to be highly supportive. The midsole’s Boost technology keeps the foot cushioned without losing its shape while keeping the runner going for miles. The Torsion system provides arch support to better enable a true heel-to-toe stride and is further aided by the EVA stable frame. The shoe’s support panels provide balance to better straighten the foot and correct pronation. And as the mesh upper adapts to the runner’s movement, its midfoot section wraps around the foot for a more secure, sock-like fit.
Terrain
While it is by no means an outdoor sports shoe, buyers feel completely secure when wearing the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 on many different everyday terrains. As its Continental rubber outsole is engineered to perform on both wet and dry surfaces, they feel confident enough to wear this shoe during jogs in mild rain storms. And the sole’s incredible durability ensures that it will continue to hold up even after repeated use on concrete and cement. Because of this several reviewers have made this their go-to shoe for long-distance running.
Price
Considering all of its stabilizing features and advanced materials, the Supernova Sequence Boost 7’s price range is quite consistent with similar shoes on the market. Across all online outlets, it runs for an average price tag of $130. Buyers can find this model on the Amazon website, and other discount shops, for a reduced price. However, they should always check the listing’s reviews before making a purchase.
Drop
The Supernova Sequence Boost 7 as a heel-to-toe drop of 10mm, which is an average measurement for running shoes. There is no online information, however, about the shoe’s heel and toe heights. Even so, they still prove to be high enough to offer proper cushioning and support while still allowing the wearer to utilize a natural foot motion.
Stability
Though the Supernova Sequence Boost 7’s stability features might seem very minimal at first, reviewers were quickly taken with how much structure it gives as soon as they wore it. Nearly all of its corrective features are based in its midsole, which makes it appear unassuming. Adidas’ trademarked Torsion System combined with an EVA stable framework together to guide the foot through a natural heel-to-toe stride. Support sections are put in place on the medial and lateral sides to counter pronation and properly balance the foot. Furthermore, a tougher synthetic foot cage wraps around the mesh upper’s heel and midfoot to ensure that the shoe maintains its shape.
Flexibility
Even though it’s intended more for structure, reviewers still noticed that the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 was quite flexible. The Continental rubber outsole stays durable for many months while still allowing the wearer to move naturally. The EVA material constructing its stable frame is also extremely pliable and can retain its shape for a long time. Yet, it’s the shoe’s engineered mesh upper that truly gives buyers a flexible wear. As it molds to the foot’s shape, it moves with the runner to not only allow a true range of motion but also to prevent possible rashes or blisters that would otherwise occur. Multiple reviewers love this shoe’s perfect balance of free motion and total support, which is what makes it their ideal running shoe.
Traction
Aside from its breathable wear and ability to correct pronation, the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 also provides runners with incredible traction. The tread pattern of the shoe’s Continental outsole is inspired by those found on car tires, and it has been specially designed to grip everyday surfaces in most types of weather. Reviewers have said that they felt secure enough to jog in mild rain while wearing this shoe. And whatever road terrain they found themselves on, including dirt and gravel, they felt completely secure and able to keep going throughout their run.
Bottom Line
Those who enjoy the durable yet breathable wear of Adidas’ Supernova line were extremely thrilled with what the Supernova Sequence Boost 7 running shoe had to offer. Whether they were hoping to correct their pronated feet or just wanted more stability for long runs, reviewers of all backgrounds found that this shoe offered them something they needed in their athletic wear. It is difficult to please everyone, however, and those with wider feet may be disappointed in this how this shoe fits. Still, those who do enjoy it can’t seem to recommend it enough both online and to family and friends.
