Video Review Adidas Supernova Sequence 4

We Say At a time when many running shoes are being built lighter and more flexible, the Sequence strides defiantly in the other direction. This update has a large stability unit in the heel and a redesigned medial post that work together to gently correct overpronation. According to our lab tests, the shoe is noticeably stiffer and almost an ounce heavier than the previous version. Several testers actually preferred the shoe's stiff ride. Recommended as an everyday trainer for overpronators.

Wear-Testers Say
"The support, especially in the heel, felt great."
—Mathew Saffarian, 26, East Lansing

"The lacing system really helps to wrap the shoe around the midfoot and ankle."
—Rique Campa, 54, East Lansing
