The ASICS Metaspeed Edge 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 – performs best when running at faster race speeds.
The top layer consists of lightweight, bouncy FF LEAP™ foam for softer cushioning and energy return. The more resilient FF TURBO™ PLUS gives a firmer, stable landing, preventing your heel from sinking.
Compared to the Metaspeed Sky, the Metapseed EDGE has a softer underfoot cushion, a more significant rocker – making it ideal for 'cadence-style' runners who speed up by taking quicker and more frequent steps.
What to love:
