Asics MetaSpeed Sky

Built for: Race day, 5K to marathon.

The METASPEED Sky is ASICS' racer for stride-length runners — the half of its racing line built for runners who get faster by covering more ground per step. Supercritical PEBA foam in two layers around a flat full-length carbon plate, an ASICSGRIP outsole and a MOTIONWRAP mesh upper. It is one of the lightest max-stack racers on the market and the shoe ASICS' marathon athletes race in.

Why it works

• Supercritical PEBA midsole (FF TURBO PLUS / FF LEAP depending on generation), dual-layer with the plate sandwiched between.
• Full-length flat carbon plate — tuned to extend stride rather than force cadence.
• Among the lightest max-stack racers made, at 163–183 g depending on generation.
• MOTIONWRAP mesh upper and ASICSGRIP outsole.

Race-day details

• Surface: Road, race courses
• Best for: 5K to marathon — midfoot and forefoot strikers
• Drop: 5 mm (ASICS stated)
• Ride: Soft, tall and fast — built for pace, not for easy miles
• Note: ASICS builds two racers. The Sky is for stride-length runners; the Edge is for cadence runners.
