Amazon Prime Day 2024 is now live with some of this year's best discounts on summer camping gear, fitness equipment, and even Apple devices. The sale is a great opportunity to grab your next pair of running shoes for less, and there's no better brand to shop than Asics while its most popular model, the Gel-Kayano, is marked down by $60.
The Asics Gel-Kayano 30 is now on sale starting at $100 during Prime Day 2024—a 38% discount on the normal $160 price tag. This is Asics' bestselling running shoe on Amazon with a top 5 ranking among all models across the site with over 600 five-star ratings from runners who appreciate the "support and maximum cushion" it offers. It's on sale in over 25 colors and comes in sizes 7 to 15 with options for wide and extra wide widths. Though the final price may vary based on the combination of size and color selected, the vast majority are selling for $100 right now.
The Gel-Kayano 30 stands out because it doesn't show any visible gel the way its predecessors did, but rest assured—it's built into the shoe and offers the same (if not better) shock absorption many have grown to love. This running shoe is still a great hybrid neutral-stability shoe, with a little extra support thanks to an external heel counter and Asics' 4D Guidance System foam that rests under the inner arch. Otherwise, it's a super-light and well-cushioned shoe for walking and running to which any foot can easily acclimate.
The harshest critics of running shoes are those who have used previous models, but many agree that the Gel-Kayano 30 is an upgrade. "Been running in Asics Gel-Kayanos for over 20 years," a shopper attested. "Every new pair is consistent in size, comfortable, and perfect for running right out of the box. These lived up to my expectations, and I still consider them the best running shoes available." Another shopper agreed, saying, "The Gel-Kayano 30 is the best Gel-Kayano in the last 5 years."
If you're looking for the best pair of running shoes on sale during Prime Day 2024, we couldn't be more confident that it's the Asics Gel-Kayano 30. Make sure to grab yours soon—not only does the sale end on July 17, but we've seen sizes sell out in previous years.
