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. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
