Technologies
Asymmetric Lacing System
The Asymmetric Lacing System follows the curve on top of the foot in a natural way, to ensure a perfect fit and less friction.
Guidance Line
Guidance Line places a visible groove in the mid and outsole that follows the foot's center of pressure from heel to toe. The result is a more adaptive running platform, creating a smoother transition from heel strike to toe-off with each stride. Automatic Guidance Line thus helps runners to maintain a natural, efficient gait, especially over long distances.

Matt :
Great shoe...fantastic cushioning from the gel.
Feel like slippers compared to other stability shoes in the range.
Actually a big fan of the asymmetric lacing, though not sure how well the toe-box will last as already looking a bit twisted.
They look mean in black & gold.
Broken them in and trying them out in half-marathon at the weekend.
Fingers and toes crossed!

Comfortable shoe, larger toe box than the Kayano 15's.
On my first long run i got blisters on the inside of my heel, both feet, having never had running related blisters before. I think the insole has quite a big gap where it joins the shoe, this is the place i got the blisters.
I will only run for 50 mins in these now, and stick to my old Kayano 15's for races and longer distances.
Quite disappointed as i now have to find something else to replace my Kayano 15's with.

I play basketball, and cross train regularly. After 9 yrs of Nike, 3 yrs of Mizuno then 2 years of Brooks runnIng shoes, I've found a shoe that leaves me feeling no soreness after a 10 mile pavemnet pounder. First shoe ever to do that, Smooth ride, excellent cushioning, particualr under the forefoot. Nuff said.
