ASICS Metaspeed Edge Tokyo

The cadence-style Tokyo racer pairs new FF Leap foam with a carbon plate tuned for rapid turnover and an 8mm drop. It keeps the Edge's snappy, controlled character while getting lighter and springier than the Paris generation. A top-shelf choice for racers who run fast by upping their step rate.
