| Pros | Soft, bouncy FF Blast Max top layer · Stable firmer base layer · Plush heel and tongue padding · More breathable than the Kayano 32 · 8 mm drop · Comfortable on 20 km long runs · Safe option for a first full marathon · Suits flat, neutral and high arches | Bouncy Nitro foam, rare in a stability shoe · Works at slow and fast paces · Light, non-intrusive heel clip for mild support · Snug midfoot with a wide forefoot and roomy toe box · Excellent grip · Acceptable outsole wear after 500 km · Lighter than the Kayano at 280 g |
| Cons | Durability doubts for runners over 90 kg · About 20% less structure than the Kayano 32 · Too soft for severe overpronators who dislike soft foam · Not for wide feet in the standard width · Expensive at ₹17,000 | Upper developed a cut · Only mild stability · Rarely discounted, long sold at ₹16,000 |
