Why it wins here

The Adidas Supernova Rise 2 wins this question with a 73% match against all 78 shoes in the catalogue. It costs €140, weighs 255 g and stands on a 36 mm heel stack with a 10 mm drop; its cushioning scores 78/100, its grip 60/100 and its energy return 58/100. The tightest constraint is the €140 ceiling: only 17 of the 78 shoes come in under it, and 13 clear both the price and the terrain filter. Its biggest edge over that field is on budget — €140, right at the €140 ceiling — 17 of 78 shoes qualify. The nearest runner-up, the Nike Structure 25, finished 1 point behind.
