Kinvara 16
Kinvara 16 is a lightweight neutral shoe for daily runs and speed sessions. A new PWRRUN blend targets greater bounce and durability, paired with a responsive sockliner. A lightweight mesh upper and 3D-molded heel cup provide a secure fit, while lower sidewalls and a straighter medial midfoot reshape transitions without abandoning the series' low-drop approach.
