| 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 | Balanced FF Blast Plus ride that doesn't tire you · Very stable: heel counter, gusseted tongue, flares · More breathable upper with a taller toe box · Durable, about 800 km expected · Excellent value at ₹8,000 to ₹8,500 |
| 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 | Outsole may lose traction after 400 to 500 km, especially in the wet · Less soft and bouncy than the Novablast 5 · Not for wide feet · Not worth the ₹12,000 to ₹13,000 retail price |
| Avoid if | You would pay the ₹12,000 retail price, or need full cushioning beyond about 18 km at slow paces. | You have wide feet, or you mostly run in the rain and plan to keep it well past 400 km. |
