ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo – Carbon-Plated Racing Shoe for Elite Performance

Step onto the starting line with confidence and cross the finish line with power. The ASICS Metaspeed™ Sky Tokyo is a carbon-plated racing shoe meticulously engineered for stride-style runners who seek to run fast from the gun and maintain pace deep into the race. Whether you're chasing a new PB or competing at the elite level, this pinnacle racing shoe is built to help you increase stride length, maintain efficiency, and break through fatigue barriers.

Engineered for Stride Runners

Not all runners move the same, and the Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is designed specifically for stride-style runners—athletes who gain speed by increasing their stride length. With every component tuned to amplify this movement pattern, the shoe works with your biomechanics to maximize propulsion while minimizing wasted energy.

The higher midsole stack height and carbon plate positioning allow your stride to naturally elongate without adding effort, letting you conserve energy early and unleash your full speed late in the race—especially beyond the notorious 30km wall in the marathon.

Dual Foam Midsole for Energy and Stability

At the heart of the Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is its dual-foam midsole system, blending cutting-edge cushioning technologies to deliver both bounce and support.

FF LEAP™ Foam (Bottom Layer):

Positioned in the lower midsole, this foam is engineered for maximum energy return and responsiveness. It's ultra-lightweight and super bouncy, giving each toe-off a spring-loaded feel that propels you forward with minimal ground contact time.

FF TURBO™ PLUS (Top Layer):

A further evolution of ASICS’ elite racing foam, this layer enhances both cushioning and rebound, providing a smooth yet dynamic ride. It offers better stability in the landing phase while keeping the overall weight of the shoe impressively low.

Together, these foams create a synergistic midsole experience that cushions impact without compromising speed—perfect for high-stakes race day efforts.

Carbon Plate for Propulsive Efficiency

The Metaspeed Sky Tokyo incorporates a carbon-fibre plate, strategically placed higher in the midsole and extending through the forefoot. This design allows for:

• Greater foam compression and rebound
• Enhanced propulsion through toe-off
• Reduced energy loss with each step

By increasing the deformable volume of foam beneath the plate, ASICS has unlocked a higher level of energy return. The result? A more efficient stride that transforms effort into motion, allowing athletes to maintain top-end speed over long distances.

MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 Upper – Lightweight Lockdown

 When racing at high speeds, every gram counts. The MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 upper is a woven, technical mesh material that delivers a barely-there feel without sacrificing security. It’s:

• Ultra-lightweight and breathable, keeping your feet cool over long efforts
• Engineered for fit, wrapping the foot for a snug, race-ready lockdown
• Supportive without bulk, so you can focus entirely on your rhythm and form

This upper works in tandem with the midsole and plate system to create a harmonious racing experience, where every component contributes to performance.

ASICSGRIP™ Outsole – Traction You Can Trust

On race day, footing is everything. The Metaspeed Sky Tokyo features ASICSGRIP™, a proprietary rubber compound that delivers:

• Exceptional grip on dry and wet surfaces
• Confidence through corners and late-race surges
• Durability without adding unnecessary weight

This outsole ensures you can trust your traction, no matter the course conditions—so you can run aggressively and decisively.

Designed to Perform – From 5K to Marathon

Whether you're targeting a fast 10K, a half-marathon PB, or pushing the limits in the full marathon, the ASICS Metaspeed Sky Tokyo is built for the rigors of race day. Athletes will appreciate how the shoe enables:

• Fast starts without burning out
• Sustained top-end pace through the mid-race miles
• A strong finishing kick, thanks to the high-rebound midsole and energy-efficient plate geometry

From elite runners to serious amateurs, this shoe is a weapon for peak performance when it counts most.
