| Pros | About 200 g in UK 8, much lighter than the Magic Speed 4 · Stable thanks to the carbon plate · Superb ASICSGrip traction · Breathable engineered mesh with a snug fit · Suited to interval and track sessions | Durable, responsive TPU midsole · Normal upper with improved lockdown (the Flow+ has a sock-like upper) · Runner's-knot eyelet added |
| Cons | Not explosive at 5:00/km · Firm at moderate paces · Narrow fit · Pressure on the right arch · Aggressive, hard to survive a half marathon unless you run fast · Puma Deviate Nitro recommended over it at the same price | – |
| Avoid if | Avoid it if you run slower paces, want a bouncy shoe for extra push, or need a wider fit. | – |
