Thick-soled running shoes featuring carbon plates have now become standard for racing shoes. As the development race between manufacturers heats up, ASICS has continued to roll out two kinds of running shoes aimed at elite athletes. For stride-type runners (those with long strides), they have recommended the "METASPEED SKY," and for cadence-type runners (those who take quicker, shorter steps), the "METASPEED EDGE".
In the lead-up to the World Athletics Championships, to be held in Tokyo this September, ASICS has introduced the latest models in their "METASPEED" series: "METASPEED RAY", "METASPEED SKY TOKYO", and "METASPEED EDGE TOKYO". What sorts of shoes are these models exactly? Approximately 129g—The "METASPEED RAY" Achieves Remarkable Lightness
The newly added "METASPEED RAY" is designed with lightweight performance as its central concept. Despite being a thick-soled running shoe with a carbon plate, it achieves an astonishing weight of about 129g (27.0cm, single shoe).
