Worth Every Penny Unisex ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris – Going Fast!

ASICS is on the mission to create a better-than-ever before marathon racing shoe. Named after Paris Olympic 2024, the Metaspeed Paris makes it to the top lightest carbon plated shoe in its class and gets a significant update in the FF Turbo+ foam, which is softer and bouncier! ASICS designed this shoe with two different running styles in mind, giving you the option to run in the style that feels most comfortable.

The Metaspeed Edge Paris is designed for ‘cadence’ runners who increase their speed by increasing the legs turnover, i.e. number of steps taken per minute. The carbon plate is angled in a spoon-shaped geometry and positioned lower in the shoe, providing an aggressive forward propulsion and for higher legs turnover. The forefoot also gets a 3mm increase in stack height for more cushioning, resulting in 5mm heel drop. 

The new Motionwrap 2.0 upper is even more breathable and flexible for increased comfort and security. The updated ASICSGRIP outsole maintains superior traction with a lower density and weight.
