Quick verdict
Pick the Nike Air Max 270 if you want a box-ready lifestyle sneaker and are comfortable with the higher listed price. Pick the Gel Kayano 30 if you want a lower-priced running sneaker with comfort features and can skip the original box.

Product notes
Nike Air Max 270 'White and Blue' BV2523-100 Men's Shoes
At USD 145.00, the Air Max 270 is the higher-priced pick in this pair. It is listed as a new-with-box men's sneaker with the Air Max model name in the title, a synthetic upper, and a blue colorway. The style is casual, which positions it as an everyday lifestyle shoe rather than a running platform. The strongest reason to choose it is the complete package: the shoe is new and comes with the box, so there is no guessing about the condition. The limitation to weigh is the price gap, which is USD 66.00 above the Gel Kayano 30. If you are focused on the lowest listed price, this is not the shoe for you.
Men's Shoes Gel Kayano 30 Running Sneaker
At USD 79.00, the Gel Kayano 30 is the lower-priced pick. It is a lace-up men's running sneaker in a Gris Blue / Copper color, with a standard shoe width and features listed as breathable, adjustable, and comfort-focused. The reason to choose it is that those running-shoe features come in at a lower price than its rival. The limitation is the condition: it is new but without a box, so you will not receive the original packaging. If you care more about the shoe than the box, this is the side to take. If you were hoping for a complete presentation, the Air Max 270 is the one that delivers.
Final choice by use case
Choose the Nike Air Max 270 when you want the box-ready presentation and are okay with the higher listed price. Choose the Gel Kayano 30 when a lower-priced running sneaker with comfort features matters more than the packaging.
