ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris
ASICS's 2024 flagship marathon racer for stride-style runners, with a full-length carbon plate in ultralight FF Turbo Plus foam. It is exceptionally light, aggressively bouncy, and built for runners who lengthen their stride as they speed up. One of the most decorated super shoes of its generation.
Reach for the ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris for race day and tempo days and intervals. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel — great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Among the lightest full-stack racers
- Big compliant bounce for bounding strides
- Proven at elite marathon level
- Expensive
- Narrow racing fit
- Less suited to pronounced heel strikers
