ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo
The 2025 Tokyo edition upgrades the stride-runner Metaspeed with ASICS's new top-tier FF Leap foam over the carbon plate, adding bounce while cutting weight. It is even lighter and more energetic than the Paris version, aimed squarely at marathon and half-marathon PRs. Price climbed along with the performance.
Reach for the ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo 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.
