| Pros | Very soft, premium step-in feel · Soft tongue, heel padding and upper · Premium looks and many colourways · Thick outsole · Good ground feel | Top-notch design and material quality · Real, soft arch support from a thick dual-density insole · All-day comfort for walking · Excellent tongue, laces and heel padding · Thick, anti-abrasion, anti-skid outsole |
| Cons | Not responsive, soft or protective for running on roads · Dreamstrike PEBA feel barely noticeable · Overpriced at ₹10,000 · Not worth buying for running even at ₹4,500 | 390 g in UK 8 · Flat, hard, unresponsive midsole · Stiff forefoot · Almost no breathability · Toe box not as wide as claimed, narrow medial midfoot · ₹6,000 is too much for a shoe you can only run about 5 km in · Not suitable for tempo runs despite the marketing |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want a shoe for running, even at the ₹4,500 sale price. | Avoid it if you want a shoe for actual running beyond about 5 km or for any faster running. |
My verdicts
Adidas
Supernova Ease 2
I would not recommend this shoe for running at all, and launching it at ₹10,000 is highway robbery. Buy it only as a premium walking shoe, and for running spend about ₹1,000 more on a proper trainer like the Supernova Rise 3.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a shoe for running, even at the ₹4,500 sale price.

Aeonic Recovery
The design and materials are top notch for ₹6,000, but the midsole feels flat and dead and the shoe weighs 390 g, so I would not recommend it for running. I am returning it; buy it only for walking and casual wear.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you want a shoe for actual running beyond about 5 km or for any faster running.
