The Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is engineered for competitive runners and athletes seeking to achieve new personal bests in long runs and races. Its core benefit lies in its carbon-plated design and advanced cushioning, which work synergistically to optimize stride efficiency and provide powerful propulsion. While exceptional for speed and race-day performance, these shoes are specialized tools and may not offer the same versatility or long-term durability expected from an everyday training shoe.

The Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo excels when you're pushing the pace, particularly during long-distance races, marathons, and tempo training runs. Its responsive carbon plate is engineered to extend your stride length, working in harmony with the FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning to provide a noticeable 'bounce' and forward momentum. This makes it a formidable choice for runners who aim to maintain a consistent, fast pace throughout their event.
For example, during a marathon, the energy return helps delay muscle fatigue, allowing you to sustain your effort for longer. In interval training or tempo runs, the shoe's propulsion encourages a more aggressive stride, helping you hit target paces more efficiently. The ASICSGRIP™ outsole provides reliable traction, whether you're tackling urban roads or light track surfaces, giving you confidence through turns and varied conditions.
Its lightweight nature and MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper ensure that the shoe feels like an extension of your foot, minimizing distractions and maximizing breathability. This is crucial during hot races or intense workouts where comfort and ventilation are paramount. While not designed for casual walks or slow recovery jogs, when it's time to perform, the Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is built to deliver speed and efficiency.
Your Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo shoes are ready to use right out of the box. Simply put them on and adjust the laces for a secure, comfortable fit.
Age Group: Adult runners.
Gender: Designed for male runners (this specific variant is Men's UK Size 11), though the Metaspeed series is popular with runners of all genders, with various sizes and gender-specific options available.
Running Style: Best suited for competitive runners, especially those with a 'stride' running style (who tend to increase their stride length to go faster).
General Cleaning: Refer to the care label provided with your shoes for specific instructions. Generally, it is recommended to gently wipe visible dirt with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap.
Drying: Air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as extreme heat can damage materials.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can damage the materials and structural integrity of performance running shoes. Hand cleaning is always preferred.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow both the shoes and insoles to air out. You can also use shoe deodorizers.
