Features
The ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris takes race-day speed to the next level.
The Metaspeed Sky helps boost your speed by extending your stride length. The longer stride length means you go farther with each step without increasing your cadence.
ASICS powered the shoe with a FLYTEFOAM Blast Turbo midsole. The top-tier foam is light and springy for a ride that won’t hold you back. Plus, designers added a carbon-fiber plate that guides your foot through the transition and propels you forward.
A curved outsole helps conserve more energy with each step, so you can run longer, while a proprietary rubber outsole sticks to the road without weighing you down.
Engineered for top speed on race day, the ASICS Metaspeed Sky Paris gives you everything you need to chase down your PR.

What’s New
The Metaspeed Sky is the first edition of the carbon-fiber racing shoe from ASICS. A lightweight mesh upper works with the ultra-responsive foam and carbon fiber plate to deliver a race-ready ride.
Who It’s Best For
The Metaspeed Sky is a finely tuned running shoe that’s best saved for your fastest times on race day. The carbon-fiber plate makes the shoe very stiff, though, which can feel unwieldy for easier runs.
Why You’ll Love It
If you’re trying to improve your PR, you’ll love the Metaspeed Sky. It has an accommodating fit that’s great for longer races, and its responsive midsole and curved shape help propel you forward.
