What are METASPEEDââ™ running shoes for?
METASPEEDââ™ shoes are racing shoes designed to work with your running style. Whether your goal is longer strides or a higher cadence, the technologies and features in METASPEEDââ™ shoes are designed to support you all the way to the finish line.
What’s the difference between the METASPEEDââ™ SKY, EDGE and RAY shoes?
ASICS offers three designs in the METASPEEDââ™ racing shoe lineup to reinforce your running style. The METASPEEDââ™ SKY shoe is ideal for stride-style runners who extend the length of their stride to increase speed. The METASPEEDââ™ EDGE model better fits a cadence-style runner, gaining speed with increased step frequency. The latest addition to the collection, the METASPEEDââ™ RAY shoe, is designed for elite runners, especially forefoot runners, who strive for a fast start and finish.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown of each METASPEEDââ™ shoe model:
- METASPEEDââ™ SKY shoe: The METASPEEDââ™ SKY shoe is designed for runners who lengthen their strides to run faster. A higher and more curved midsole promotes a propulsive toe-off. FF LEAPââ™ cushioning technology works alongside FF TURBOââ™ PLUS technology, configured with a full-length carbon plate to give you forward spring for improved efficiency and a longer stride.
- METASPEEDââ™ EDGE shoe: The METASPEEDââ™ EDGE shoe is for runners who gain speed with increased step cadence. A carbon plate placed lower in the midsole supports quicker step turnover as the highly responsive and lightweight FF LEAPââ™ cushioning propels you forward with a higher energy return.
- METASPEEDââ™ RAY shoe: The METASPEEDââ™ RAY shoe is designed for elite runners, particularly forefoot runners, who want to start fast and finish faster. It incorporates super lightweight and bouncy FF LEAPââ™ technology at the midsole to promote powerful energy return in each step. The lightweight carbon plate helps you keep pace through the end of your race.
Do ASICS METASPEEDââ™ shoes have a carbon plate?
Yes, a specially engineered ASICS carbon plate is included in the ASICS METASPEEDââ™ shoe line. It’s the key to maximizing forward propulsion, storing energy with each step and releasing it in a high-powered rebound.
In the METASPEEDââ™ SKY racing shoe, the carbon plate is placed higher to give stride runners more bounce. In the METASPEEDââ™ EDGE shoe, it’s lower and has more of a curve for quicker step turnover and efficient transitions. The new METASPEEDââ™ RAY shoe features a minimal, lighter carbon plate for forefoot runners, giving you forward propulsion so you can maintain your pace from start to finish.
Explore METASPEEDââ™ track shoes with spikes
When you want the aggressive traction of a spike running shoe, consider the METASPEEDââ™ MD, METASPEEDââ™ SP and METASPEEDââ™ LD track shoes. The thicker heel of the METASPEEDââ™ MD shoe gives mid-distance runners reliable stability. For longer strides with less effort, turn to the METASPEEDââ™ SP sprinting shoes. Or glide over the track surface with the pinless carbon construction of the outsole in the ASICS METASPEEDââ™ LD model shoe.
