Who shouldn’t buy it

For runners with wider feet, the wide toe box of the ASICS GT 2000 10 is a great alternative. Also, no colorway issues were found with the ASICS Gel Lyte III 3M Pack Burgundy which comes in many available colors.

Colorways that need some work

Many buyers were disappointed with the actual colors of the Gel Jadeite. Specifically, the black and gold option was “more like a navy blue” or a “midnight blue” as mentioned by a couple of critics. Also, another reviewer wished that these would come out in more colorways.
