| Pros | Soft, plush FF Blast Plus midsole close to the Nimbus · Smooth heel-to-toe transition from the rocker · Stable thanks to a wide 120 mm forefoot and more midsole flare · Premium materials throughout · Lighter than the Nimbus at 260 g (US 9) · Great value at ₹5,000 to ₹7,000 on sale | Premium mesh upper you feel at step-in · Soft and comfortable but firmer and more versatile than before · Stable thanks to the wider platform · Thick rubber outsole with full coverage, no wear after 100 km · Likely more durable than the Novablast · Handles 4:00/km to slow runs and up to full marathon |
| Cons | Rubberised EVA outsole, grip expected to fade after about 100 km · Thick upper with poor breathability · Heat build-up beyond 10 km or faster than 5:00/km | Heavy at 300 g (US 9) · Breathability is limited · Expensive at ₹14,000 to ₹16,000 · Mostly offline in India |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you run long in hot weather or often on wet surfaces, as the thick upper traps heat and the EVA outsole grip fades. | Skip it at full retail price; wait for a 10 to 20% offer. |
