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, soft but lively ride from FF Blast Plus foam that stays light at 238 g despite 45 mm of stack. Plateless design gives a bouncy, uncushioned-yet-springy feel that works across easy runs and faster tempo efforts.
Fit
Standard width only, generally true to size with a moderately snug midfoot and roomy toe box for a stacked trainer.
Best for
Runners wanting one shoe for long runs, easy days, and uptempo work without a carbon plate.
Avoid if
You need lateral stability or a locked-down platform, since the tall soft stack feels tippy.
