ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris Running Shoes

The Metaspeed Sky Paris is ASICS' most advanced, lightweight and high-performance shoe yet. They've been designed to help increase vertical propulsion and extend stride length to help you reach a new personal best.

MotionWrap 2.0 Upper

Providing you with enhanced levels of breathability and comfort, the ASICS Metaspeed Sky have a MotionWrap 2.0 upper to keep you focused on the race ahead. This excellent upper construction wraps around your foot, providing you with a sock-like fit and feel, for flexibility and freedom of movement. Thanks to its unique, thin design, the materials facilitate a steady air flow that ensures continuous breathability and ventilation, helping you stay comfortable and active for longer. The no-sew construction promotes targeted airflow while eliminating the risk of irritation from rubbing and chafing. Support is offered to the forefoot and rearfoot as the material thickens, protecting vulnerable areas of the feet whilst a flat-lying tongue prevents irritation from occurring. Completing the upper of the Metaspeed sky is a traditional lace-up construction, allowing you to keep your foot locked down and secure inside the shoes.

At least 50% of the shoe's main upper material is made with recycled content to reduce waste and carbon emissions.

FF Turbo Plus Midsole

Updated with the lighter-than-ever FF Turbo Plus midsole, the Metaspeed Sky helps to generate an exceptional response, to help you go and feel a lot faster. Upon every step, the midsole compresses before quickly snapping back to its original shape to give you an explosive response. The midsole will also provide cushioning to take weight off the joints like the knees and ankles. This will reduce injuries, as well as prevent fatigue from occurring. The impacts with the ground will also be absorbed instantly, which will mean that there won't be any uncomfortable forces felt by the sole. The midsole has a curved design and helps to reduce ankle flexion, allowing runners to conserve more energy and run further with less effort. The midsole also has a carbon plate which runs from the midfoot towards the front to add structure while guiding the foot and propelling the body forward, allowing you to be able to conserve more energy and help maintain your pace at the later stages of the race.​ The carbon plate is wider than in previous versions, meaning more FF Turbo Plus for more energy return and a more responsive kickoff. A sockliner sits atop the midsole to provide you with even more cushioning and a comfortable stride. The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology.

ASICSGRIP Outsole

Outstanding grip and traction are guaranteed with the ASICSGRIP outsole. Keeping you anchored to the ground beneath you will improve efficiency, making sure that every second counts. The rubber can form a solid grip on surfaces beneath you for complete control in all conditions. Additionally, the rubber is extremely tough and abrasion-resistant, which means that it will maintain its shape and definition over a long period of time. The design of the outsole will also provide further traction, as it will dig in to provide further control.
