adidas Unveils The Supernova Rise 3 Adaptive, A Running Shoe Designed By And For Adaptive Athletes And People With Disabilities
21 March 2026
A new chapter has begun at adidas Running with the unveiling of the Supernova Rise 3 Adaptive. This shoe is adidas’ first performance running shoe designed by and for adaptive athletes and people with disabilities.
Inspired by the brand’s partnership with Chris Nikic – the first person with Down syndrome to complete an Ironman – and created in partnership with GAMUT Management to unlock critical insights from individuals with diverse disabilities. As a result of this thorough, multi-year collaboration, the shoe earned the GAMUT Seal of Approval™.
The Supernova Rise 3 Adaptive will launch globally today, World Down Syndrome Day, on adidas.com, in the adidas app, and at select retail stores.
