There’s little doubt the ASICS GEL-KAYANOTM 30 has changed the shape of running forever.
The new ASICS GEL-KAYANOTM 30 lands on 5 July 2023
There’s little doubt the ASICS GEL-KAYANO TM 30 has changed the shape of running forever. The series has become a staple for runners around the globe. Plus, with science and shoes improving year-after-year, its cult-like popularity is entirely justified.
The new GEL-KAYANO TM 30 is easily the most transformational update in the GEL-KAYANOTMseries. With the introduction of a 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM TM and PureGEL TM technology, this remarkable shoe affords greater adaptive stability and more comfort than ever before (who knew so much could go into a shoe).
By incorporating a unique design philosophy, ASICS has developed a shoe that is redefining what the future of stability footwear means. It’s easy to understand why this will be ASICS’s most anticipated release ever.
What a difference a shoe makes
What’s the difference between theGEL-KAYANOTM 29 and GEL-KAYANOTM 30?
Stability has never felt better with the new ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 30. Traditionally, stability meant stiff, inflexible, and uncomfortable. However, by integrating a 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™, ASICS makes the GEL-KAYANO™ 30 shoe's stability properties feel even more comfortable. .
The 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEMTMworks with the movement of your body to provide stability where it's needed most, instead of bracing your feet to restrict movement. And when you're tired, the integrated design adapts to your posture shift to provide advanced stability and comfort from start to finish.
Key changes to the ASICS GEL-KAYANOTM 30:
- Wider base nets expand the sole's width through the heel, midfoot, and forefoot for inherent stability.
- An increased heel bevel improves initial ground contact and smoothness by controlling the motion of the foot from landing to mid-stance.
- The flared midsole features differing sculpting on the lateral side (deformation) and medial side (stability) to slow overpronation through mid-stance, while reinforcing the midfoot. This makes it less compressive and more stable.
- An energetic medial foam in the medial part of the midfoot helps resupinate your foot, so it returns to a neutral position for each subsequent impact.
- FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO CUSHIONING: This cushioning material helps keep the shoe lightweight, creating a more energised rebound. It's also made with approximately 24% bio-based content.
- REARFOOT PureGEL™ TECHNOLOGY: Softer and smoother, our updated version of GEL™ technology provides advanced impact absorption that's 65% softer than traditional GELTM technology.
- Weight: The overall weight of the shoe has remained similar while the stack height of the GEL-KAYANO™ 30 has increased over the GEL-KAYANO™ 29

The advantage of the adaptive support and premium comfort features in the GEL-KAYANO™ 30 not only offer advanced stability but also a soft and comfortable feel underfoot.
Are ASICSGEL-KAYANOTM 30shoes good for flat feet?
Having flat feet can affect the way you absorb shock and distribute weight while running, which can lead to discomfort or injury, therefore runners may benefit from a running shoe that provides good support and stability such as the ASICS GEL-KAYANO.
While some stability shoes can restrict movement, the GEL-KAYANO TM 30 uses its 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEMTM to provide just enough stability where and when it's needed. This integrated design achieves advanced stability and comfort by adapting to your body's posture shift when you get tired.

Are the ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 30 shoes suitable for walking?
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 30 are designed to offer adaptive stability and dynamic comfort for runners at any distance, but are also suitable for walking.
In walking, your foot moves through similar motions as when you run, so a stability shoe such as the GEL-KAYANOTMcan provide extra support to your foot, reduce excessive rolling, and provide a stable base.
Moreover, the GEL-KAYANOTM30 has additional cushioned features that make the shoes not only stable but extremely comfortable as well.
Is ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 30 good for marathons?
The ASICS GEL-KAYANO™ 30 can be the ideal marathon shoe for those who have a tendency to heel strike, excessively roll inwards, have prolonged midstance timing and overstride during their gait, offering both support and comfort. The GEL-KAYANO™ 30’s 4D GUIDANCE SYSTEM™ works with your body’s movement to provide stability when and where it's needed most.
When you get tired, it adapts to your body's shift in posture, while its integrated design provides advanced stability. With a marathon being a high-impact event, shoes such as ASICS GEL-KAYANOTM 30 with PureGELTM technology will provide enhanced shock absorption, softer landings, and smoother transitions.
To run a marathon at your best and minimise any risk of injury, it’s a good idea to choose shoes which provide optimum support and comfort. As all feet and running styles are different, it's important to find the shoes that meet your specific needs. To find your perfect pair, we recommend testing a number of shoes and running in them running for at least 3 minutes (as during a run, the shoe's feel can differ considerably).
