| Pros | Very stable, firm platform with no wobble · Strong rocker makes toe-off smooth · Thin, soft, breathable woven upper, much better than version 1 · Gusseted tongue, thick padding and a solid heel counter · Excellent grip on normal surfaces · One of the best shoes for walking and plantar fasciitis · Massive 46/40 mm stack for long-run protection | One of the most comfortable shoes of the year · Very soft, protective Nitro cushioning · Wide forefoot and roomy toe box · Luxurious gusseted tongue and soft padding · Best-in-class grip, wet or dry · Premium build quality · Good breathability for a max-cushion shoe · Great for walking and casual wear |
| Cons | No energy return or responsiveness at 6:00 to 7:00/km · Not suited to short runs · Runs small, I needed half a size up · Poor value at ₹17,000 to ₹18,000 · Narrow appeal, will not suit runners who want a soft, plush feel | Laces too short for a runner's knot and loosen at speed · Feels heavy at faster paces · Not for fast running · Overpriced at ₹17,000 · Neutral only, not a stability shoe |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want a soft, plush ride like the Nimbus or an energetic, bouncy shoe for faster running. | Avoid it if you want to run fast or need a stability shoe. |
