I review a lot of items at Run Oregon. One of the perks we get is getting our hands on the best running gear. Its always nice to keep the running closet stocked with the latest and greatest items.

Asics has been a go-to brand for runners and walkers alike for many years now. They are reliable, they are of great quality, and they continue to improve over the many years we’ve been wearing them.

The new GEL-KAYANO 30 shoe is another on the list of favorites. Looks…

The Superblast is a brand new edition to be ASICS running lineup. It is a “MAXIMUM” maximum shoe, technically illegal to utilize for elite runners due to exceeding stack height limitations. But considering that most reading this will not fall into that category, we get to enjoy this new footwear. The Superblast is also one of the few unisex running shoes that we have tried, so we are providing a male and female perspective within…
