ASICS Metaspeed Edge Men

The ASICS Metaspeed Edge are neutral competition shoes. This model by ASICS is suitable for both a 5km and a marathon. The idea behind the Metaspeed Edge is to increase your stride rhythm, making you run faster. This is why the shoes are aimed at runners who do not increase their stride length while accelerating, but rather their stride frequency. By increasing cadence, you will ultimately run faster.

The Engineered Mesh upper fits snugly around the feet. It is lightweight and soft to the touch. It is designed to keep feet cool and comfortable. This is achieved by a highly breathable upper. No warm, clammy feet as you run your new PR. The fluid design of the sole reduces excess movement in the ankles. The flowing design of the sole reduces excess movement in the ankles, wasting less energy and allowing the body to move more naturally.

The carbon plate and the responsive Flytefoam Blast Turbo midsole work together to store and return more energy while running. The new Flytefoam Blast Turbo cushioning material is the lightest foam used by Asics. With every stride you make, the impact is cushioned in the foam. On impact, the material returns the energy for a bouncy and energetic running experience.

Compared to the ASICS Metaspeed Sky, the carbon plate is lower in the shoe, which results in more foam directly under the foot. The full-length carbon plate provides a stiff feeling when you put the shoes on and run at a leisurely pace. But as soon as you start to speed up, you get the feeling that you are being pushed forward. The rubber outsole provides good grip and traction, even when cornering and on wetter surfaces. So you can also sprint to the finish in the rain.
