| Pros | Very snappy for track workouts · Foam enough for 10 km and impact-protective · Slightly softer than the previous version · Works for races up to 5 km · Excellent value at ₹4,000 | Soft yet snappy Flytefoam, comfortable at all paces · About 2 mm more stack than the Hyper Speed 5, felt like more · Very breathable, more durable upper · ASICSGRIP at toe-off gives excellent grip · More heel padding · Very stable · Now works as a daily trainer for fast runners · Outstanding value at ₹4,000 |
| Cons | Not as bouncy or energetic as he hoped · Very narrow, no wide version · No stability · Outsole may wear fast on roads, traction drops after about 100 km · Not a daily trainer | Foam not energetic enough for a ₹10,000 shoe · Not worth the ₹10,000 retail price · Laces came undone until double knotted · Not for beginners, flat feet, overpronation or runners over 80 kg · Lost the very low ground feel some fans of the Hyper Speed 5 liked |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you want a daily trainer, run slowly, are a heavy runner or a beginner, have wide feet or have ankle pain. | Avoid it if you are a beginner, have flat feet or overpronation, are over 75 to 80 kg, or want a very soft, springy shoe. |
