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:

New midsole foam in the top layer – softer and more responsive
For 'cadence-style' runner, who prefer a more aggressive rocker and quicker steps
Mid to forefoot strikers will enjoy the a firmer foam in the heel that encourages quicker forefoot takeoff

UPPER

I bought these shoes for

"I bought these shoes for the Gold Coast marathon. I did a 32km progression run in them on the weekend to test them out. I had nil issues with the shoes and feel they were perfect suited to protect my legs. I haven’t done a specific interval session but the progression run had me doing my last 4km interval at 4:10min/km with the first interval at 4:35min/km. I was tossing up the decision between the edge and sky for Tokyo model for a long time!"

These shoes are a revelation

"These shoes are a revelation for marathon training, and the service from Pace Athletic was fantastic—they arrived at my house in just three days. Though a bit snug to put on, they offer excellent lockdown, a lightweight breathable upper, and a surprisingly stable, bouncy midsole that stiffens up perfectly once you’re moving. At 5. 6 oz, they feel like feathers and practically disappear on foot, yet they effortlessly shaved nearly two minutes off my usual easy pace. After testing several race shoes, these are hands-down the ones I’m keeping."

Fast, Light & Race Ready

"Absolutely love these shoes. The ASICS Metaspeed Edge Tokyo feels incredibly light on foot and really comes alive once you pick up the pace. The energy return is noticeable, especially during tempo runs and race efforts, it almost feels like the shoe is propelling you forward. What impressed me most is how stable they remain even when fatigue starts to kick in, which is not always the case with super shoes. I have used them for both long runs and faster sessions, and they perform consistently well across both. Definitely one of the best racing shoes I have tried so far. Highly recommend for anyone looking to push their pace on race day."

Look great

"Shoes look great and I am very pleased with the energy return and free shipping that I got on these marathon shoes. But the took forever to get here when other things took 3 days these took nearly 2 weeks. Other than that a good experience"

Insanely fast, Wow!

"Best race shoes I have run in. So so light and really snappy. Feels like you are floating once they get up to pace and still very stable when I get a bit tired and form drops off. I love these!"

"Light and quick response. Midsole feels harder than adios pro4. But more than enough forefoot room if your feet are not wide."
