| Pros | Balanced, bouncy Light Boost, even at slow paces · 10/10 step-in comfort · Spot-on heel lockdown and snug midfoot · Wide, stable forefoot for beginners · Excellent value under ₹6,000 | Soft Light Boost 2.0 with real energy return · Feels lighter than its 290 g · Spacious, tall toe box · Durable, grippy Continental outsole · Excellent buy under ₹10,000 |
| Cons | Can feel flat after about 18 km at slow pace · Traction a bit lower than premium Adidas models · Not worth the ₹12,000 retail price | Heel slippage, worse on narrow feet · Little support for overpronators · Heel tab may rub the Achilles · Far too expensive at ₹17,000–18,000 |
| Avoid if | You would pay the ₹12,000 retail price, or need full cushioning beyond about 18 km at slow paces. | You have narrow feet, or you overpronate and need ankle support. |
