ConsCan feel flat after about 18 km at slow pace · Traction a bit lower than premium Adidas models · Not worth the ₹12,000 retail priceOutsole 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
