Increase Speed and Conserve Energy with a Lengthened Stride
The brand-new Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris takes the throne as the most advanced racing shoe in the Asics lineup, designed to increase speed and help conserve energy by extending your strides. This special edition Metaspeed Sky features an exciting new midsole foam, FF LEAP™, that feels super lightweight and bouncy on runs. Above this new foam is a layer of the previous pinnacle of midsole technology, FF TURBO™ PLUS. These two work in together to enhance responsive properties while offering more stability when landing.
The Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo and the Metaspeed Edge Tokyo both use a carbon-fiber plate but do so in slightly different ways. The Metaspeed Sky Tokyo positions its carbon-fiber plate slightly higher with a thicker midsole in the toe, granting a higher energy return and a lengthened stride. In the Metaspeed Edge Tokyo, the carbon-fiber plate sits slightly lower, and is fine-tuned for cadence runners, allowing them to conserve more energy over time.
You’ll find a better fit this time around thanks to the new MOTIONWRAP 3.0 upper, put to the test by athletes for athletes. Breathable and extremely lightweight, this woven upper helps secure your foot into place so you can stay focused on the race ahead.
Features & Benefits:
- Bottom layer of FF LEAP™ is super lightweight and bouncy, offering higher energy return with better cushioning
- Top layer of FF TURBO™ PLUS foam creates softer landings with more energy return
- New woven MOTIONWRAP™ 3.0 upper is lightweight, breathable, and comfortably secures your foot
- An aggressively curved sole with an angled carbon-fiber plate helps increase forward propulsion and extend stride length
- ASICSGRIP™ outsole rubber brings premium traction to each step

Super fast shoes
Super fast shoes, one of the best super shoes available, and still very comfortable. Durability looks fair.

Great shoe. Quick turnover. A lot of life in them. Fits a bit small

These are very close to an ideal shoe for me. Was able to run my PR half marathon in them and looking forward to many more PRs soon!

Great race shoe
This shoe has been fantastic! I gave both this and the Edge Tokyo a try and ended up deciding on the Edge for race day, but I would have no qualms about taking this one out there as well. I was a Sky Paris user, so I was a little surprised that I preferred the Edge for this generation!

Fantastic Shoe
I bought this shoe specifically for track racing, and they delivered! Bouncy, light, FAST. I was able to break 5:00 min in a mile race largely because of these shoes.

My cousin loved it!
I ordered it for my cousin because she saw me wearing it and got jealous. I’m glad it came right on time. Marathon sports has been my go to online store to shop my running shoes that I wanted and they never dissapoint.

Worth the upgrade!
The Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris was my favorite marathon racing shoe, and the Metaspeed Sky Tokyo just improves upon it. It's a very lightweight, responsive, and comfortable racing shoe. Highly recommend!

Great shoe!
This is my first time owning a carbon plate racer, though I’ve demoed other brands and models at my local run club. Overall, the fit is great. The upper can look slightly wrinkled on my feet, but I never have to tighten the laces much. I’ve used this shoe without socks in a sprint triathlon with no issues, and I’ve also taken it on training runs at half marathon pace (my race is in two months). So far, so good! I’m really loving the bounce. It feels a little unstable when walking around and might not be ideal for warmups depending on your pace. ASICS has really been on fire with their shoes recently, and I’m excited to see what else they have coming.

Best shoe for running a fast marathon
1. Super comfortable 2. Lightweight and very responsive 3. If you are thinking about buying it, you won’t regret it. 4. Ran 15 miles out of the box and I set a PR in my 10miler and half marathon.

enjoying first plated race shoe
this is my first experience with a modern plated running shoe, and so far so good! A little about me: male, 6', 160lb, mid/forefoot striker, HM PB is 1:35 For shoe comparisons, on training runs, I have been using the superblast 2 and for recovery runs the Mizuno Neo Vista. I’ve only put about 15 miles on the sky Tokyo so far to break it in before my next half marathon race coming up, so keep that in mind. The sky Tokyo is crazy light, and is most comfortable and exciting at higher paces, given my stride. In this way it is somewhat similar to my experience of the superblast 2 - except with the sky Tokyo the energy return is noticeably greater, at the cost of feeling stiffer. I have noticed that my knee knees and shin splints acted up a little more than usual after speed workouts in the sky Tokyo, but not to a detrimental degree. I saw on the Internet people saying other versions of the Meta speed run a little tight - my foot is pretty close to the end in my superblasts, so I went up a half size. This may not have been necessary, however - having scaled up, my sky Tokyo’s are a little roomy in the toebox, but not terribly so.. my guess is that this iteration is pretty much TTS for asics. the upper is very breathable, and minimalist. overall, I'm happy w them and looking forward to racing

Metaspeed Sky Tokyo purchase
Best pair of running shoes I’ve ever purchased. Cannot say enough good things. Broke my half marathon PR.

worth
Amazing plated shoe, this thing really wants to go fast. Haven't put many miles on it yet so I can't speak to the durability too much, and it does seem a little flimsy, but I feel like that's the nature of these lightweight racers, it certainly doesn't seem any worse than any others out there. Great ride, comfortable through the finish line. I didn't feel like I was getting as much energy return as I would have liked since the whole "Sky = longer stride" really appealed to me and I'm a textbook strider, but also wasn't really paying enough attention to it, and was really just thrilled by how comfortable they were for being so plated and stacked.

Light and bouncy
Good squish in the foam that’s fun to run in, outsole good on wet surfaces. Tbd if I should be using the edge or the sky but bought the sky and enjoyed the ride
