| Pros | Balanced, bouncy Light Boost with good energy return · Bounce is still there at slow paces · 10/10 step-in comfort · Thin, breathable upper · Spot-on heel lockdown and snug midfoot · Wide, stable forefoot for beginners · Expected 600–800 km durability · Excellent value under ₹6,000 | Fun, jelly-like Infinion ride from 5 km to 30 km · More stable than the 1080 v14 · Light for its stack, about 240 to 250 g · Durable upper that will not tear easily · Premium tongue, heel padding and collar · 800 to 1,000 km expected under 90 kg |
| Cons | Can feel flat after about 18 km at slow pace · Traction a bit lower than premium Adidas models · Lower stack than premium daily trainers · Not worth the ₹12,000 retail price | Thick upper is less breathable than other super trainers · Upper feels neither premium nor soft · Forefoot narrower than the v14 · Hard to find online in India · Expensive at ₹15,000 to ₹17,000 · Lower durability above 90 kg |
| Avoid if | Avoid it at the ₹12,000 retail price, or if you need full cushioning beyond about 18 km at slow paces. | Avoid the standard width if you have wide feet or bunions, and skip it at full price if ₹15,000 is a stretch. |
