My verdicts
Nike
Interact Run
The Interact Run was one of the few shoes in Nike's budget series that did not disappoint me, light, breathable and soft with a stable ride. Buy it only if you get it under ₹5,000 to ₹6,000.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you need stability or ankle support, or if you would pay anywhere near the ₹7,000 to ₹9,000 launch price.
