Unisex ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo

Drawing from Japan’s incredible long-distance relay running culture, the new ASICS EKIDEN Pack delivers energy that truly moves both body and mind. Experience the spirit of team and tradition in every stride.

The ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is a race-winning favorite among runners, building on the strengths of the previous Paris model with new midsole foams. It’s lighter, softer, and more responsive and stable – performs best when running at faster race speeds.

The Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is designed to give consistent comfort and performance from 5k right through to the marathon, without being too firm or aggressive. The top layer consists of a more resilient Turbo Plus foam, while the carbon plate adds stability, complemented by a softer, bouncy FF LEAP foam in the bottom.

Compared with the Metaspeed EDGE, the Metaspeed SKY has the carbon plate positioned closer to the foot, and a thicker foam in the forefoot area. It offers a snappier propulsion and lengthens your strides – making it ideal 'stride-style' runners who increase their speed by lengthening their strides.

What to love:

• New midsole foam in the bottom layer – springy trampoline-like rebound, softer landing
• For those who prioritize a more stable, firmer propulsion that extends your stride length
• Heel to mid-foot strikers will enjoy from the softer foam in the heel that smoothly move to a firmer, snappy forefoot experience

UPPER

• MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 lightweight technical engineered woven upper is soft, breathable, and flexible enough to move and secure the foot

MIDSOLE

• A carbon plate enhances the energy return from the midsole. There's more deformable foam under the plate, a wider platform and is positioned higher in the forefoot part.
• FF Turbo Plus cushion is extremely lightweight and bouncier than previous FF TURBO™ version. It is positioned in the top layer to offer a more stable landing and snappy response
• New ATPU-based FF LEAP™ cushion is significantly more bouncy, responsive and lighter. It is positioned in the bottom layer to adds a springy, trampoline-like effect. It absorbs impact when you land and then springs back to help you move forward.

OUTSOLE

• ASICSGRIP™ proprietary rubber outsole that provides excellent sticky and tacky grip in any condition on a variety of terrain
