| Pros | Plush, soft AmpliFoam Plus with more stack · Excellent shock absorption · Snug, comfortable upper with a higher toe box · Superb heel counter and collar · Grippier outsole than the Excite 10 · Suits walking, standing and running up to a half marathon | Soft, max-cushion midsole · Very comfortable |
| Cons | Runs small, go half a size up · Heavier, about 290 g in UK 8 · No energy return · Softer upper may tear if toes rub · Poor value at ₹5,000 next to the Nimbus 27 | Narrow forefoot · Little energy return |
| Avoid if | Avoid it at ₹5,000 or more, when the Nimbus 27 and other shoes give much better value. | You have a wide forefoot or want a bouncy, energetic ride. |
