| 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 | Energetic, responsive ride · Lightweight with excellent grip · Best value in the test |
| 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 | Narrow midfoot |
| Avoid if | You would pay the ₹12,000 retail price, or need full cushioning beyond about 18 km at slow paces. | You pronate or have a wider foot. |
