| Pros | Balanced FF Blast Plus ride that doesn't tire you out · Very stable: heel counter, gusseted tongue and midsole flares · Upper more breathable than the Cumulus 26, with a taller toe box · No rubbing over 18 km in heavy rain · Durable upper and midsole (about 800 km expected) · Thick 8 mm outsole, no visible wear after 35 km · Excellent value at ₹8,000 to ₹8,500 | 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 may lose traction after about 400 to 500 km, especially in the wet · Less soft and bouncy than the Novablast 5 · Not for wide feet · PureGEL makes little noticeable difference · Not worth the ₹12,000 to ₹13,000 retail price | 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 have wide feet, or if you mostly run in the rain and plan to keep it well past 400 km. | Skip it at full retail price; wait for a 10 to 20% offer. |
