The twelfth GT-2000 took the technology the Kayano 30 had introduced months earlier and applied it a tier down. PureGEL replaced the older heel unit (invisible from outside and rated sixty-five per cent softer), and the midsole moved to full-length FF Blast Plus, pushing the stack to thirty-six millimetres at the heel and twenty-eight at the forefoot. The guidance system was simplified rather than copied wholesale: this one drops the arch piece the Kayano's version carries. Reviewers described the smoothest rear transition the series had managed, and a shoe comfortable across easy days, long runs and mild uptempo work. Extra-wide sizing puts that platform under feet the standard last cannot take. All black is the finish stability trainers get more than any other, and it does the same job here it always does: hides the miles, matches everything, and makes a shoe that has grown quite tall look smaller than it is.
