Our verdict

What we liked

  • Premium Tech Uses ETPU foam in the mid-sole, which is much more responsive than standard EVA.
  • Professional Design Features a "fused tongue" (no separate tongue) with stretchy material for easy entry.
  • High-End Aesthetics Includes TPU printing, reflective patches, and a carbon fiber-like finish.
  • Stability The sole is quite wide from front to back, providing a stable base.
  • Color Options Available in a sporty Green and a more subtle, widely appealing Grey.

Could be better

  • Surface Sensitive The TPR sole lacks aggressive grooves; it is not suitable for wet grass or slippery surfaces.
  • Weight While light, it is slightly heavier than ultra-premium international competitors like New Balance.
