The Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo Running Shoes are meticulously engineered for competitive runners who achieve faster speeds by increasing their stride rate. These race-ready shoes deliver exceptional propulsion and energy conservation, thanks to their integrated carbon plate and advanced cushioning, making them an ultimate companion for long runs and race days, though their highly specialized design might not be ideal for all running styles or daily training.
Responsive Carbon Plate: Positioned within the midsole, this plate helps conserve energy by preventing heel drop and generating powerful forward propulsion with every stride, optimizing your race-day performance.
ASICSGRIP™ Outsole Rubber: Provides advanced, confident traction and enhanced durability across a wide range of surfaces, ensuring stable and reliable footing during intense runs.
FF TURBO™ PLUS Cushioning: An extremely lightweight and exceptionally bouncy midsole foam designed to deliver advanced energy return and a plush cushioning experience, contributing to a more efficient and comfortable run.
FF LEAP Cushioning: A brand-new, super bouncy, and lightweight foam located in the top layer of the midsole, specifically engineered for higher energy return and improved cushioning, particularly under the forefoot area.
MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 Upper: Constructed from a lightweight, technical engineered woven material, this upper offers improved breathability, lightweight comfort, and a precise lockdown to secure your foot onto the shoe's platform.
Curved Sole Design: This innovative geometry is crafted to help runners conserve more energy with each step, promoting a smoother transition and more efficient running mechanics.
Optimized for Stride Rate Runners: Specifically designed for athletes who increase their speed by taking more strides, aiding in energy conservation for this particular running style.
Exceptional Energy Return: The combination of FF LEAP and FF TURBO PLUS cushioning, alongside the carbon plate, delivers outstanding responsiveness.
Superior Traction: ASICSGRIP™ outsole ensures reliable grip on various terrains, enhancing confidence during runs.
Lightweight Design: At 170g, the shoes minimize drag, helping maintain speed.
Optimized Propulsion: The carbon plate and curved sole design work together to propel runners forward efficiently, conserving energy.
Breathable and Secure Fit: MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper provides both comfort and precise foot lockdown.
Highly Specialized: Primarily designed for runners who increase stride count, potentially less beneficial for stride-length runners.
Race-Day Focus: While durable, their pinnacle race-day design means some users might prefer other models for daily training to maximize longevity.
Firm Ride: The carbon plate can contribute to a firmer feel underfoot compared to non-plated trainers, which some runners may need to adapt to.

The Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is engineered to excel in high-performance running scenarios, particularly for athletes aiming to set new personal bests in races or demanding training sessions. Its core strength lies in its ability to support runners who naturally increase their stride frequency to go faster.
Race Day Dominance: For events from 10k to marathon distances, these shoes are built to provide a significant competitive edge. The carbon plate acts as a spring, reducing energy expenditure with each push-off and maintaining forward momentum, crucial during the latter stages of a race.
Long Run Efficiency: Even on extended training runs, the FF LEAP and FF TURBO PLUS cushioning layers work in tandem to absorb impact and return energy, reducing fatigue and allowing for more consistent pacing. The curved sole design further contributes to this by promoting a fluid, energy-saving roll through your gait.
Reliable Traction: The ASICSGRIP™ outsole provides excellent traction, which is vital for confident cornering and stable running across varied road surfaces, especially when pushing pace.
Comfort and Lockdown: The MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper offers a snug, breathable fit that secures the foot without excess material, preventing unwanted movement inside the shoe, which is essential for preventing blisters and maintaining efficiency over long distances. This targeted lockdown ensures that all the propulsive power is directed efficiently into your stride.
Your Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo Running Shoes are designed for immediate use. Simply unbox, lace them up securely to your comfort, and you're ready to run. Ensure the lacing provides a snug yet comfortable fit to maximize the shoe's performance features and prevent slippage.
Running Style: These shoes are specifically optimized for runners who increase their speed by increasing the number of strides they take (stride runners). While they can be worn by others, the full benefit of their engineering is realized by this running profile.
Terrain: The ASICSGRIP™ outsole provides advanced traction suitable for road surfaces and light, non-technical trails.
Activity: Ideal for race days (from 10k to marathon) and high-intensity training sessions such as tempo runs or long-distance efforts.
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Metaspeed Sky Tokyo shoes, follow these general care guidelines. Always refer to the specific care label provided with your product for detailed instructions.
Cleaning: Gently clean the upper mesh with a soft brush or cloth using mild soap and cool water. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive scrubbing, which can damage the material.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as this can degrade materials and adhesives.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp environments, which can promote odor and material breakdown.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing is generally not recommended as it can damage the shoe's structure, cushioning, and bonding agents.
Rotation: For optimal performance and to extend the lifespan of your race-day shoes, consider rotating them with other training shoes.
