METASPEED™ SKY/EDGE running shoes released

2021

"METASPEED™ SKY" and "METASPEED™ EDGE" have each been scientifically designed with a distinct type of running style in mind.　ASICS has created the "METASPEED™ SKY" for Stride-type runners and "METASPEED™ EDGE" for Cadence-type runners.

"METASPEED™ SKY" racing shoe is designed to help Stride-type runners go faster by extending their stride length considerably. Stride-type runners take a longer stride once they start increasing their speed.

"METASPEED™ EDGE" racing shoe is designed to help Cadence-type runners go faster by extending their stride length while allowing them to control cadence more easily. Cadence-type runners increase both cadence and stride as they run faster.

The launch of "METASPEED™ SKY" and "METASPEED™ EDGE" means that runners will no longer having to adjust their running style to suit the shoe they’re wearing.
