Our Verdict
Nike Pegasus 41
adidas Supernova Rise
The adidas Supernova Rise and the Nike Pegasus 41 are similar trainers overall. Neither is especially lightweight or high-stack, and they offer similar levels of cushioning. The adidas is a bit more efficient, with a more responsive PEBA-incorporated foam.
