Our shortlist this season
On Running dominates the conversation right now, but adidas, Nike and New Balance all earn their spots. Below you will find easy daily trainers, race-day speed shoes and a couple of pairs sharp enough to wear off the track. Read the take, check the price, tap through to the product page.
1. ON Cloud 6 'Triple Black'
The ON Cloud 6 'Triple Black' is the safe answer when someone asks what to buy first. All-black keeps it clean for commutes, gym runs and travel days, and the CloudTec sole feels soft without going mushy.
Price: Rs 14,499. Best for anyone who wants one pair that does easy runs and daily wear.
2. Cloudtilt Black Eclipse
The Cloudtilt Black Eclipse leans more lifestyle than tempo run, with that sculpted On silhouette and a stealthy dark finish. It is the pair you wear when you want to look put together without swapping shoes.
Price: Rs 15,775. Best for the walker and light jogger who cares about how it looks.
3. Adizero Evo SL White Black
The Adizero Evo SL White Black takes adidas race-day tech and makes it wearable every day. Light, springy Lightstrike Pro underfoot with a crisp white-and-black look that goes with everything.
Price: Rs 9,359. Best for speed sessions and runners who want fast without a huge price tag.
4. Adidas Adizero Evo SL Ekiden Pack
The Adidas Adizero Evo SL Ekiden Pack is the same quick, low-drag trainer with a bolder colour story from the Ekiden theme. It brings energy to tempo days and stands out on the road.
Price: Rs 8,861. Best for runners who want a fast shoe with more colour and the lowest entry price here.
5. Cloud x 4 Black Eclipse On Running
The Cloud x 4 Black Eclipse On Running is built for mixing it up, short runs, gym circuits and studio work. It is stable and responsive rather than plush, so it moves how you move.
Price: Rs 14,742. Best for the cross-trainer who runs and lifts in the same session.
6. New Balance 1906R Metallic Silver Metallic Gold
The New Balance 1906R Metallic Silver Metallic Gold is the style pick that still runs. That Y2K tech look with metallic accents turns heads, and the ABZORB and N-ergy cushioning keeps feet happy.
Price: Rs 10,193. Best for anyone who wants a running-rooted shoe that reads as a fashion statement.
7. Nike Vomero 18 Sail Hyper Pink
The Nike Vomero 18 Sail Hyper Pink is max cushioning done right. Thick, soft foam soaks up long easy miles, and the Sail with Hyper Pink combo is a genuinely fresh look.
Price: Rs 12,798. Best for high-mileage runners who want comfort on long, slow days.
8. Cloudtilt Black Ivory
The Cloudtilt Black Ivory softens the Cloudtilt with a two-tone black and ivory mix that looks premium in person. Same comfy, easy-going ride, more versatility with outfits.
Price: Rs 11,583. Best for the everyday wearer who wants an On that is not all-black.
9. Adizero Evo SL Black White
The Adizero Evo SL Black White flips the colourway to a mostly dark base that hides road grime and works past the run. Same light, quick Evo SL platform underneath.
Price: Rs 8,424. Best for value hunters who want a fast trainer in a low-maintenance colour.
10. ON Cloud 6 'Triple White'
The ON Cloud 6 'Triple White' is the crisp counterpart to the black version. Clean all-white for the warmer months, same soft CloudTec ride, easy to style with almost anything.
Price: Rs 14,189. Best for the daily runner who loves a fresh white shoe. Compare it against the rest in our sneakers guides.
