Best Summer Ready Running Shoe Rotation in June 2025

We’re back with another Supwell Certified Shoe Rotation—the Hot Weather Edition for the mileage monsters sweating it out this summer. This heat-ready lineup is built for durability and breathability when the temperatures start cooking. For daily miles, the lightweight yet bouncy Mizuno Neo Zen keeps things smooth and breathable. On speed days, the snappy Adidas Boston 13 brings the heat without overheating. Long runs? The reliable, max stack Salomon Aero GOAT 3 is built for the grind. And when it’s race day, the breezy yet aggressive Adidas Adios Pro 4 delivers that top-end performance for the warm-weather warriors.

Mizuno Neo Zen: Daily Trainer

The Mizuno Neo Zen is our top pick for a soft and bouncy daily trainer right now. It’s buttery smooth, protective and also happens to have a highly breathable upper. If you’re looking for something fun to help survive those brutal afternoon miles, this is a great choice.

Adidas Boston 13: Speed Training

The Boston 13 reminds us what we love about running shoe tech—when applied appropriately, the modern foams, rods and geometry offer more versatility, durability and performance. The Boston has a streamlined feel that can stand up to both pace and long runs, and the upper is both comfortable and breathable.

Salomon Aero Glide 3: Long Runs

There’s nothing worse than mile 18 of a summer long run with a hot and heavy shoe. For marathon training in the warm months, lightweight performance is key. The Aero GOAT 3 has a high stack bouncy, protective foam that weighs in at 10 to 20% lighter than competitors, and the upper stays light and ventilated for long miles.

The Adios Pro 4 in this vanilla ice cream colorway screams summer.
