| Pros | Durable · Responsive · Wider forefoot | Lightweight · Very light, breathable upper · Stylish look and colourways · Good outsole grip, even in the wet · Newer EVA than the Revolution 7 |
| Cons | Feels firm for the first 100 km | Narrow and small fit · No felt forefoot cushioning, impact caused back pain · Outsole traction gone after 200 to 400 km · Far too expensive at about ₹8,000 · Rarely discounted · Not a proper running shoe |
| Avoid if | You want a soft ride straight out of the box. It feels firm for the first 100 km. | Avoid it for running if you are heavy, have wide or even normal feet, or have a back injury. |

Revolution 8
The Revolution 8 is light, breathable and good-looking, but as a running shoe I would not recommend it, and ₹8,000 is far too much. Consider it only under ₹3,000 if you are light, have narrow feet and no back problems.
Avoid if: Avoid it for running if you are heavy, have wide or even normal feet, or have a back injury.
