Asics Metaspeed Sky+

Asics designed the Metaspeed Sky+ specifically for stride-type runners — athletes who get faster by lengthening their stride rather than increasing cadence. The FF Turbo foam and carbon plate are tuned for maximum energy return at toe-off, and the trampoline-like forefoot is noticeably bouncier than competitors. Japanese engineering obsession shows in every detail, from the aerodynamic heel shape to the grip pattern optimized for wet roads.
