The METARACER™ Tokyo shoe is made for runners who want the most out of their fast-paced training and racing. Featuring a limited model offering, this iteration is displayed with a Sunrise Red colorway to symbolize and celebrate the city of Tokyo and the country of Japan. The upper itself also has drainage ports to release any water that might get into the shoe. GUIDESOLE™ technology features an improved toe-spring shape. This design is complemented by a carbon forefoot plate that gives structure to the curved sole. These two components are combined to reduce the movement of the ankle joint, helping runners save energy with each stride. The rolling motion of this shoe actually propels the foot forward, producing a totally unique running experience. The METARACER™ Tokyo shoe with GUIDESOLE™ technology is designed to help you take your racing to the next level.
Pronation
Pronation is part of the natural movement of the human body and refers to the way your foot rolls inward for impact distribution upon landing. Understanding your pronation type can help you find a comfortable running shoe. The METARACER TOKYO is made for Underpronation and Neutral.

This shoe just feels great.
This shoe feels great. As a person with a foot on the narrower side ....it is a perfect fit! Feels great. The color is more fluorescent orange than expected-but I don’t mind. I do wish the lighter part of the sole was a truer white. It’s more ivory.

I wish I knew if it was a true fit or if I should go a size up, just some discomfort from the shoe being so tight but over all great shoe.

More cushioning please.
Almost perfect but not enough cushioning for marathon distance. Hopefully, ASICS would release the developmental shoes that Sara Hall used. It looks like those shoes are metaracers with more cushioning.

Running on air
Fits like a glove, and very light.
I run on the beach, and it’s like running barefoot, but with support!

I love these. Wasnt sold trying them on because I typically enjoy more cushion. However, once I adjusted to these I fell in love. SO lightweight you’ll feel like your flying! Uhm also there is nothing red about these they are HAZARD orange (but in a “watch me while I fly” kinda way! I love the brightness but they are definitely different than I imagined from stock photo
