The ASICS GEL-Kayano 30 Lite-Show is a great shoe for runners and walkers looking for maximum cushion and stability. The GEL-Kayano 30 Lite-Show is completely redesigned with a full-length plush FF Blast midsole and a 4D Guidance System for stability that adapts to every runner’s needs. This is a shoe that offers plenty of stability for overpronation while gently rolling and guiding you from one step to the next with a soft and bouncy ride.

WHY PACERS CARRIES THESE SHOES:

For 30 years, the ASICS GEL-Kayano has been a favorite of runners looking for a highly cushioned stability running shoe. Like previous versions, the GEL-Kayano 30 Lite-Show offers maximum stability without sacrificing any of the plushness runners want out of a shoe for long runs or recovery days. Whether you’re a new runner or training for a marathon, the GEL-Kayano 30 Lite-Show is a great option to protect your legs from the impact of running.

WHAT’S NEW:

The ASICS GEL-Kayano 30 Lite-Show represents a significant redesign from previous versions of the GEL-Kayano. Similar to what ASICS did with the Nimbus 25 a few months prior, the Kayano 30 features a full-length FF Blast midsole with PureGEL technology in the heel for a soft and plush ride with a touch of bounce at toe off.

The GEL-Kayano 30 Lite-Show achieves stability with an all-new 4D Guidance System, which provides more adaptive stability. A wider base creates an inherently more stable platform, while a beveled heel encourages a more controlled landing. A sculpted midsole discourages overpronation. Lastly, a bouncy medial foam replaces the firm medial post of years past to guide the foot back into a neutral position.
