The ASICS Metaspeed Sky is engineered for serious runners who gain speed by extending their stride, offering a competitive edge for long runs and race days. Its advanced cushioning and carbon plate propel you forward, conserving energy with each step. While optimized for top performance and specific running mechanics, its specialized design may not be ideal for everyday training or runners with a high cadence.
Responsive Carbon Plate: Designed to help conserve energy by preventing heel drop and generating significant forward propulsion, optimizing your stride efficiency.
FF TURBO™ PLUS Cushioning: An extremely lightweight and bouncy midsole foam that provides advanced energy return and a superior cushioning experience.
FF LEAP Cushioning: A super bouncy, lightweight midsole foam, strategically placed for higher energy return and enhanced cushioning specifically under the forefoot area.
MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 Upper: A lightweight, technical engineered woven material offering improved breathability and precise foot lockdown for secure comfort during high-speed efforts.
ASICSGRIP™ Outsole Rubber: ASICS' proprietary outsole material that boosts traction and durability, ensuring confident strides across various terrains.
Curved Sole Design: This unique geometry helps runners conserve more energy throughout each stride, contributing to sustained performance.
Optimized for Stride-Increasing Runners: Specifically designed for athletes who achieve higher speeds by increasing the length of their stride, maximizing their running economy.
Exceptional energy return for sustained speed through advanced cushioning.
Lightweight construction (170g) minimizes fatigue during long races.
Superior traction and durability provided by ASICSGRIP™ outsole.
Engineered carbon plate enhances forward propulsion and conserves energy.
Breathable and secure fit from the MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper.
Optimized for runners who increase stride length for speed.
Highly specialized for race day and fast efforts, less suited for daily training.
May require adaptation for runners not accustomed to high stack heights or carbon plates.
Primarily targets stride-increasing runners; cadence-focused runners may prefer other models.

The ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo running shoes are built for competitive performance, excelling in scenarios where maximizing speed and conserving energy are paramount. These shoes are ideal for:
Race Days: From 10k races to marathons, the Metaspeed Sky is engineered to help you achieve personal bests by optimizing your stride and providing relentless propulsion.
Long Training Runs: When you need to simulate race conditions or push your pace over extended distances, the cushioning and carbon plate work together to reduce fatigue and maintain efficiency.
Tempo Runs and Intervals: The lightweight design and responsive cushioning make these shoes perfect for high-speed workouts, allowing for quick turnover and powerful push-offs.
When you run, the combination of FF LEAP and FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning absorbs impact and then returns energy efficiently. The carbon plate, integrated within the midsole, acts as a lever, preventing your heel from dropping excessively and generating a powerful forward roll. This helps to extend your stride and maintain momentum with less energy expenditure. The MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper ensures your foot remains securely locked onto the platform, allowing for confident, explosive movements. The ASICSGRIP™ outsole provides reliable traction, even when pushing hard on various surfaces.
This shoe is specifically tailored for runners who naturally increase their stride length to go faster, rather than those who increase their stride frequency (cadence). By matching your natural running style with the shoe's design, you unlock its full performance potential.
Your ASICS Metaspeed Sky shoes arrive ready for immediate use. Simply lace them up, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper is designed for precise lockdown, so take a moment to adjust the laces to prevent any slippage or pressure points. Break them in with a few shorter, faster runs before race day.
Target Audience: Designed for adult runners, specifically those who increase their stride length to achieve faster speeds.
Footwear: This shoe is a specialized racing and fast training shoe. While durable, it's recommended to integrate it into a rotation with other training shoes to maximize its lifespan and specific performance benefits.
Sizing: Available in various UK sizes for adults. Refer to the specific product variant for gender (Female/Male/Unisex) and size details. The shoe has a 5mm heel offset and a stack height of 39.5-34.5mm.
Proper care will help maintain the performance and longevity of your ASICS Metaspeed Sky running shoes. Always refer to the care label located inside your shoe for specific instructions.
General Care Guidelines:
Cleaning: Gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap (like dish soap) and cold water with a soft brush or cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, direct sunlight, clothes dryer), as this can damage the materials and glues.
Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can degrade the materials, cushioning, and structural integrity of performance running shoes.
