Unisex ASICS Metaspeed Ray

The pinnacle of race-day innovation, the ASICS Metaspeed Ray is a pure racing weapon engineered for elite athletes aiming to start fast and finish faster.

Stripped down to an astonishing 129g —ASICS' lightest racing shoe ever created—this pure performance model combines a full-length carbon plate, a precision MATRYX® upper, and next-generation FF LEAP™ superfoam. Purpose-built to maintain a competitive sub-3 marathon pace, it delivers maximum energy return, forward propulsion, and late-race efficiency when every fraction of a second counts.

Validated at the highest level of international competition, including Andy Buchanan's course-record and Australian All-Comers record victory (1:01:08) at the Gold Coast Half Marathon.

UPPER 

• Ultra-Light MATRYX® Mesh Upper: Technical, high-tenacity woven upper delivers featherlight weight savings alongside a locked-in, stay-put midfoot wrap built for extreme speeds.
• Eco-Conscious Solution Dyeing: Sockliner production utilizes solution dyeing to cut water usage by ~33% and carbon emissions by ~45%.

MIDSOLE 

• FF LEAP™ Midsole & Drop-In Sockliner: ASICS' lightest, most responsive foam system pairs a high-bounce midsole with a dedicated FF LEAP™ drop-in insole to maximize forefoot cushioning and energy return.
• Lightweight Carbon Plate: Full-length carbon fiber plate stabilizes the ultra-plush foam setup, guiding foot strike and delivering explosive forward propulsion.
• Energy-Conserving Curved Sole: Aggressive forefoot rocker geometry reduces ankle flexion, helping runners conserve precious muscular energy through the final stages of the race.

OUTSOLE 

• ASICSGRIP™ Road Traction: Proprietary outsole rubber provides traction and cornering confidence across dry and wet road surfaces alike.
