Explosive Cushioning Meets a Trail-Specific Carbon Plate to Help You Speed Through Your Next Trail Race
When you need propulsive energy return, bouncy cushioning, and confidence-inspiring grip out on the trails, it’s time to turn to the Metafuji Trail 2. This trail and ultra running shoe is designed for runners looking to fly over rocks, roots, and other technical terrain on race day.
The unique dual-layered midsole optimizes responsiveness and energy through each stride. Directly underfoot, the super lightweight and propulsive FF LEAP foam provides immediate bounce and energy return to help you reach faster speeds. Below this energetic foam, a base layer of FF BLAST PLUS ensures stable landings with cloud-like softness and shock absorption.
Embedded in this midsole, you’ll find a trail-specific X-shaped carbon plate. This innovative plate design adds even more forward momentum and propulsion, all without sacrificing stability on uneven terrain.
Asics’ proprietary rubber outsole, Hybrid ASICSGRIP, enhances stability even more. The grippy rubber works alongside versatile 3.5 mm lugs to support you through various types of terrain. The woven upper keeps the shoe remarkably lightweight, especially for how cushioned and durable it is. And with a new ankle collar construction, speed laces, and a new lace pocket, the Metafuji Trail 2 makes it easy to slide on and adjust your shoes, hit the trails, and focus on the path in front of you distraction-free.
