Asics Unisex Metaspeed Sky Paris

Love them! Have run 2 half’s and a full in the same pair.

After testing the ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris, it became clear that this model outshines the Edge, especially for longer distances like the marathon. At slower, easy paces, I did feel some pressure on the internal part of my left arch, though it wasn’t an issue on my right foot. However, at marathon pace and faster, the Sky felt fantastic—stable, cushioned, and responsive, making it ideal for long runs or races. The shoe's forefoot cushioning is excellent, providing more comfort and support than the Edge, especially over longer miles. Overall, the Metaspeed Sky is my go-to for marathons and fast-paced efforts. Pros: Great cushioning, especially under the forefoot. Performs well at marathon pace and faster. Ideal for long distances Cons: Some pressure on left arch at slower paces Verdict: The Metaspeed Sky Paris is a strong choice for marathon runners seeking a cushioned, responsive shoe for both training and race day.

Quite good. Cushiony with good springy feel. Extremely light but upper seems durable. High midsole stack but compresses so still get some ground feel.

I've been using this for intervals and races, and hoping to make this my marathon shoe for the year. I tried the Alphafly 3 and returned them because they weren't stable enough in my ankle. These are the perfect balance of stable, light, and bouncy. The AF3 felt bouncier than these, but I'd rather be a bit more comfortable than get that extra pop

Really enjoyed them. Took a bit to break them in, but after about 3-4 runs, felt great and super snappy. Excellent for interval workouts on the track, and planning to use them for my next marathon.

I just recently ran my first half-marathon ever in these shoes. The price of the shoes were definitely on high side of most, but the performance I had was worth the high price tag. I ran a time much faster and at a pace I didn't think was possible. These shoes are worth every penny and dollar you will spend.

I found them exceptional. The responsive cushioning and lightweight design enhanced my speed and comfort. Ideal for long-distance runs, they provided excellent traction on varied surfaces. Highly recommend for competitive runners.

The Metaspeed Sky Paris is a great shoe. It looks good, it performs well, is light and is comfortable. This shoe, unlike others, has a wide toe box and fits true to size. Also unlike other super shoes is not ridiculous to walk in, there no crazy design leading to the feeling of instability at sub race speeds. I always have concerns over the durability of mesh uppers, but after 80 miles, they are a little flexed out of shape but show no signs of giving. I’m not the fastest runner, and I will take any speed increase I can get, but I’m not sure these are the fastest shoe out there. They are very snappy and I feel the forward propulsion, but it’s not like some other brands. Where these excel are the comfort, and for regular racers, I think these offer the best compromise of speed and being capable of moving happily at the end of a hard race. I believe these will be the shoes I’m running Berlin and Chicago in this fall

Super light, bouncy and responsive. Incredibly fun and exciting race shoe. I chose the Sky Paris aver the Edge Paris because the Sky is supposed to be better for “stride” runners and the Edge is more optimized for “cadence” runners. I think I’m a “stride” runner in Asics categorization because my cadence tends to remain about the same at any pace (about 175 steps per minute), and it’s mainly my stride length that increases at faster paces. I also am a midfoot striker if that makes a difference. I haven’t tried the Edge Paris, but all I can say is that the Sky Paris just seems to work amazingly for my running style and mechanics. My other favorite racing shoe is the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3, and my favorite trainer is the Superblast. The Sky Paris is bouncier and has more energy return than both. Less of a rocker than EP3, and a softer feel underfoot. More propulsive but less stable than Superblast.

It’s mind blowing how light it is. That with the energy return from carbon plate and the FF Turbo+, you’re gonna be having a good time on your race day!

Liked everything

These shoes have a lot of bounce and make running an absolute joy.

It is the best racing racing supershoe I got. I thought it needed a break in period, but after running 2 sessions of 8k, I realized my feet felt great it in. On the 3rd run, I ran it for a 21k race and it performed beyond my expectations. No blisters like I had on the Nike VP3. It also looks to be more durable! Awesome purchase!

Great service -Quick to ship- Extensive inventory. My go to running shoe store.

Comfortable. Not as quick as a vapor/alphafly. But still good, and light.

I have the original Metaspeed Sky and it was lacking the bounce I was looking for in a marathon racing shoe. The Metaspeed Sky Paris has the perfect amount of bounce and firmness, and performs excellent at faster paces. The upper is comfortable and the shoe was TTS for me. The shoe felt fast and I know they will keep me fresh at longer distances. I'll definitely be racing in these for my next marathon!

These ran a bit short compared to other Asics I've worn (novablast and superblast) but once I got the right size these were great.

Love them. Much lighter and faster than the alphafly

This shoe is incredible -- wow it feels fast.
