Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris

Designed for stride-style runners, the ASICS Unisex Metaspeed Sky+ in Light Blue/Black offers carbon plated efficiency and longer strides to let you conserve energy for the end of your race.

The ASICS Unisex Metaspeed Sky+ has moved the carbon plate closer to the foot from the original version, this allows for more compression of the midsole foam, and a softer feel on landing, letting you hit your stride with a touch more comfort.They have also managed to squeeze 4% more volume of foam underfoot, for only a 6g weight change, that’s the weight of a postcard! The FF Turbo foam used offers 13% more bounce and is 33% lighter than standard FF Blast, giving you massive amounts of energy return in an incredibly lightweight package.The Carbon plate features a slightly less curved form in this iteration, giving a faster rebound, and requiring less energy to bend it on landing.A new motion wrap upper is made from a lightweight woven jacquard mesh, it offers optimised reinforcement for a solid feel, and even the laces have been updated, with shorter serrated laces providing a secure lockdown.

Regular Cushioning

Regular cushioning offers a blend of lightness, comfort, and ground feel. Popular for shorter distance racing as well as training and daily mileage running, the lower stack of midsole foam offers inherent stability and a lighter feel on your foot when compared to max-stack shoes.

Neutral

Neutral running shoes are designed to provide a smooth sensation without correcting your gait. They allow your natural motion to flow, while still offering a snug fit and a cushioned feel underfoot. As such, they’re ideal for runners who don’t overpronate.

ASICS

Creators of one of the first marathon-specific shoes back in 1953, ASICS have a firmly established history in running, with their reputation for technical excellence spreading far beyond the borders of their home base in Japan.

They remain hugely successful in the 26-mile distance, where their renowned GEL technology is popular for its ability to absorb impacts and help reduce injuries.

ASICS also produce excellent shoes for overpronators, as embodied by their flagship series, the Kayano, a long-distance structured shoe that’s been keeping runners comfortable since ’93. 

Their newer Fast series includes the explosive Novablast. Ditching the slightly heavier GEL for lightweight but propulsive materials, they make the most of every moment over shorter distances.

Why Should You Have a Shoe Rotation?
Rotating running shoes can extend the life of each pair by allowing them to fully dry out and have foam rebound between runs, reducing wear and tear, and potentially lowering the risk of injury by changing the stress your body goes through when running in different models.

Road Running

It might say road, but we don’t just mean pounding closed-off streets on race day. Road shoes are predominantly for the pavement.


They feature flat rubber traction for confident footing in the city and enhanced cushioning to soak up the strain of every stride.

Best for Race Day

Race day shoes have two priorities: lightness and propulsion.

Outsole rubber is traditionally the heaviest component of any running shoe, so race day shoes use lighter compounds of rubber, thinner layers, and targeted placement to reduce weight where it really counts. A super-thin upper with minimal overlays saves additional grams for a lightweight feel up top.


To help build your speed, propulsive midsole foams often combine with internal plates to give you the edge and drive you across the line.


Stripped back and powerful, race day shoes are not built to be as durable as daily mileage trainers.
