The 5 Best Daily Trainers in June 2026 - Supwell Power Rankings
The daily training market is becoming more exciting as running shoe brands are putting better, more responsive and fun foams into their daily trainers. See below which two new shoes made our top 5 list and which three managed to maintain their top 5 status, as well as where the Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Ultra, ASICS Novablast 6, Puma Deviate Pure Nitro, ASICS Megablast, and the Dynafish Xiaonian landed this month.
Welcome to the next edition of Supwell’s daily trainer POWER RANKINGS. We launched this series as a way to keep a running list of the best shoes on the market updated each month. Here are our 5 best daily trainers on the market in June 2026. *Editor’s note: Our criteria for this list is enjoyment, mileage accumulation on the Supwell team, adoption in the hobby jogger community, US market availability and price/value. Our top 5 list of daily trainers in March 2026 was the ASICS Megablast at the top, followed by the Dynafish Xiaonian in second place, the Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Ultra in third, the Saucony Endorphin Azura in fourth, and the New Balance 1080v15 in fifth.
#1 Dynafish Xiaonian: The Ultimate Mileage Shoe
The Dynafish Xiaonian is just as rockered as the Adidas Evo SL, as bouncy as the Megablast, as affordable as an entry-level trainer, and as lightweight as a true marathon racer. Combine all of those qualities, and you’ve got yourself a truly elite daily trainer.

#2 ASICS Megablast: The Best Daily "Super Trainer"
The Megablast is still arguably the greatest running shoe of all time, but the Xiaonian has the slight edge from a pure daily training standpoint. The Megablast has a firmer ride, a less-comfortable upper, and a geometry that doesn’t work for everyone. It might have fallen down 1 spot this month, but we anticipate that ASICS’ ultimate daily trainer will remain on this list for the foreseeable future.

#3 ASICS Novablast 6: The Best "Standard" Daily Trainer
This shoe is the perfect synthesis of the Novablast’s legacy thus far, combining the peppy, energetic spirit of the 1, 2, and 3 with the protection and comfort of the Novablast 4 and 5. We anticipate that OG and more recent Novablast fans alike will love the versatile underfoot ride on offer here, bolstered by a large slab of premium FF Turbo2 race foam in the forefoot.

#4 Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Ultra: The Bounciest Daily Trainer
Featuring a soft, highly-kinetic midsole that rebounds with wild energy return once compressed, the Red Hare 9 Ultra provides the most unique daily trainer ride experience on the market—nothing else feels quite like it underfoot.

#5 Puma Deviate Pure Nitro: The Best Lower-Stack, Stable Option
While many have dubbed the Deviate Pure an Evo SL killer, we would argue it more-closely resembles the best version of a traditional uptempo daily trainer. It has a relatively flat rocker geometry, a stable, planted feel, and a ride that’s versatile, but not as aggressive as the EVO SL. If you’re looking for a comfortable, lightweight jack of all trades daily trainer, the Deviate Pure is a solid pick.
