How it compares
Side-by-side with its neighbouring generations.
Our read
Editorial interpretation from the specs and what we know of this shoe — opinion, not lab-tested.
Ride
A very tall stack of FF Blast Plus foam that stays light and bouncy, giving soft cushioning without feeling dead or sluggish.
Fit
Standard width only with a fairly snug, performance-oriented midfoot; runs true to size for most but leaves little room for wide feet.
Best for
Runners wanting one lightweight, high-stack shoe for long runs, easy days, and even uptempo efforts.
Avoid if
You need lateral stability from a tall platform or have wide feet, since it's a soft, tall build in standard width only.
