| Pros | Durable, responsive TPU midsole · Wider forefoot | Light, about 250 g in UK8 · Very breathable paper-thin jacquard mesh · Good heel lockdown from the lacing · Grippy on dry tarmac · Fashionable colourways |
| Cons | No runner's-knot eyelet · Little ankle support for beginners | Dead foam with no energy return · Brand's TPU claim is not true · Plastic 'plate' does nothing · Runs very large · No heel counter, ankle collapses inwards · No grip in wet conditions · Not worth ₹6,500 retail |
| Avoid if | You are a beginner who needs ankle support, or you use a runner's knot. | Avoid it if you are a serious runner, run fast, weigh over 80 kg, or have flat feet, overpronation, Achilles pain or plantar fasciitis. |
My verdicts
Red Tape
Pegasus / Flow+
Half-marathon racing at this price: a durable, responsive TPU midsole with a wider forefoot.
Avoid if: You are a beginner who needs ankle support, or you use a runner's knot.

Sport RunPro
The foam is dead and the plate is cheap plastic, so I would not recommend it to serious runners even at ₹3,000 to ₹4,500. It only suits light, slow, occasional runners who want a fashionable shoe.
Avoid if: Avoid it if you are a serious runner, run fast, weigh over 80 kg, or have flat feet, overpronation, Achilles pain or plantar fasciitis.
