The women's shoe has been reduced to under $100 in the sale, while the men's shoe is going for $109, with lots of colors and sizes available for both. I've tested the Kayano 30 and the newer Asics Gel-Kayano 31, and the differences are minimal, so I'd grab the older shoe in this sale.

Asics Novablast 3: was $140 now $119

Asics Novablast 3: was $140 now $119
While this $21 discount is not a huge saving, and the Novablast 3 might yet drop below $100 for Black Friday, this is an excellent all-rounder running shoe that's both comfortable and quick and it's worth flagging it up at this price. Right now, it's just the women's Novablast 3 that are reduced in the sale, with lots of colors and sizes available. We will let you know here if the men's version gets reduced.

Asics Gel-Nimbus 25: was $160 now $119

The Asics Gel-Nimbus 25 is a max-cushioned running shoe that offers the last word in comfort. Both the women's and men's shoe have been reduced to $119 in the sale, which is a good price, though I harbor hopes the shoe might drop below $100 for Black Friday. I've tested the Gel-Nimbus 25 and the newer Gel-Nimbus 26, and they are very similar, so the older shoe offers better value with this deal.
