ProsLight at 240–250 g · Balanced FF Turbo Plus foam with strong energy return · Set all my PBs in it · Top-notch breathability · Fixed the forefoot snugness of the first version · Unmatched durability, no wear after 150 km · One shoe for all training and marathonsOne 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
ConsOverkill for a light runner at 7:30–8:00/km · Wet traction only average · Expensive at ₹22,000–23,000Laces 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 ifAvoid it if you only run very slowly and are light, because the 45 mm stack felt like overkill at 7:30–8:00/km.Avoid it if you want to run fast or need a stability shoe.
