Overall
7.00/10
Ride
7.0/10
The denser FF Blast+ midsole provides a firmer and more responsive ride. It feels stable and protective, but lacks excitement at slower paces.
Design & Comfort
7.5/10
Modern and agile design like the Novablast, with excellent comfort. The only issue is the tapered upper, which creates a snug fit for some runners.
Value
6.5/10
Durable and modern design, but it feels slightly overpriced for the material used.
My verdict
Does everything, from slow runs to faster ones.
