My verdicts
Cult
Nebula
For ₹2,000 the Nebula does the job: very soft, wide and stable, great for walking and slow runs. It is for runners under 75 kg running slower than 6 min/km and up to about 10 km, not for serious runners.
Avoid if: You are over 75 kg, run faster than 6 min/km, or regularly run beyond 10 km.

Nobel Pro
The best budget racing shoe from 100 m to 5K and 10K, with one of the most responsive midsoles at this price.
Avoid if: You run in heat and need a breathable, roomy upper.
