ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris
The cadence-runner counterpart to the Sky Paris, using the same carbon plate and FF Turbo Plus foam but with a higher 8mm drop and a plate geometry tuned for quick turnover. The ride is snappier and slightly firmer than the Sky, rewarding runners who speed up by increasing step rate. Many amateurs actually find it the more usable of the two racers.
