ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo

R RunRepeat - Athletic shoe reviews Carlos Sánchez · reviewer

We believe the Metaspeed Edge Tokyo stands out for runners who want speed and a lightness in the same super shoe. We loved the new FF Leap foam, the curved plate that makes transitions smoother compared to the Sky, and the grippy outsole. On our runs, it definitely felt lighter and more cushioned than most rivals.

I think I used it to great effect over the 10K distance in fact on a couple of races. Always felt the Flight Foam Turbo material was very responsive, but perhaps not the softest stuff out there. But for me at 10K, it was an absolute banger. Achieved some great results in this one. I think it was down to that slightly wider sort of mid to forefoot area. And it still smells like garden center.

Tester Trevor Conde praised both Metaspeed Tokyo models for their bouncy FF Leap foam and dynamic ride, with the Edge excelling for cadence runners and the Sky better for power striders.

If I had to choose one of the two uppers, I would go for the ASEX. Uh simply because it holds my foot a bit better and it feels a bit less plasticky and wrinkling because of the extra material that you can find on this shoe. Uh, the Attics is maybe a little less long and a bit wider, but like I said, both shoes are more on the long and narrow side of things than wide and short.

Marcel: Anyone who has followed my reviews of the last three versions of the ASICS Metaspeed Sky already knows how enthusiastic I am about this model.

It is truly lightweight and ready for speed. Let's look at the box details. The yellow box features clear ASICH branding. Upon opening it, we are greeted by the wrapping paper and a performance cotton lightweight tag. Now, let's unbox the main item. Voila. Here it is. The beautiful Meta Speed Sky Tokyo in its bold neon pink hue.

If you prefer a softer, bouncier ride with a smoother and slightly more stable transition, the MetaSpeed Sky Tokyo is the better place to start.

It was easygoing on foot. When I was comparing this with other shoes years ago, it did go on the foot a lot more easily than some of the other super shoes. And it has the serrated laces, that kind of like felt faux suede tongue, and a pretty rigid heel counter and a fair amount of smooth padding around the heel cup.

I love the Metaspeed Toyko. Used it last weekend for a marathon and was able to cut my last years 3:19h PB down to 3:02h.

The Asics Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is my son Benny's favorite racing shoe. It's the shoe he chooses every time he attempts to break a PB, which happens quite often at the moment. It's also been my weapon of choice for my last two full marathons. It's also been the shoe I've worn on more half marathons than any other shoe. However, more recently, particularly with the Model 3, the Puma Deviate Nitro Eli

The Metaspeed Tokyo line hopefully has 90% of the bounce and energy return but in a much more approachable package!

Fast, responsive, aggressive racer, built for speed and very light in weight.

WOW! These things are RAPID.

T The Size 15 Runner - All the news that's fit to run thesize15runner · reviewer

First off, I have to commend ASICS for finally breaking down and making a Metaspeed in my size. Or perhaps I should take the credit? After all, I did whine that one time to ASICS about the limited sizing of their more premium pairs. Still hoping I’ll get to run in the Superblast and Megablast someday. (I’m not holding my breath.) At least there’s the Sonicblast .

The rubber is thin, yet it remains relatively intact over time. Still, like most super shoes, the midsole foam will eventually lose its snappy, propulsive qualities long before the outsole fails.

I’ve taken them out on one 18km run only but they felt good. If you size up, the plate geometry might not work well with the movement of your foot.

G GearLab Nathaniel Bailey · reviewer

It feels pretty unstable and awkward at slower paces, and we don't recommend it for anything other than hard running.

S Solereview Article

Unsuitable for daily training, recovery runs, heavy runners, overpronators, casual use, narrow feet.
