ASICS METASPEED Sky

Through innovation, ASICS is back on the scene ready to revolutionize the running world. The reason being its new family of Running shoes Project Speed. To date, it is the fastest range of running shoes from the Japanese brand. One of its greatest exponents are the new ASICS METASPEED ? Sky. In RUNNEA we unravel all its virtues and sections to take into account.

How could it be otherwise, these Running shoes ASICS METASPEED ? Sky are backed by the joint work, and side by side, of elite athletes, as well as the team of scientists and product developers at the ASICS Sports Science Institute in Kobe (Japan). The result is the application of ASICS ' state-of-the-art technologies and cutting-edge materials to design a whole range of footwear for runners who are ready to improve their own personal bests. The idea is not only to put at the feet of the runner a shoe designed to provide the confidence needed to compete, but also to become that great ally that leads the athlete to taste the sweetness of success.

New features and strengths of the ASICS METASPEED? Sky

Thus, the most significant thing about these innovative ASICS METASPEED ? Sky is that they have been developed to help the runner run faster by extending the stride length. This new trend is based on the fact that runners who run faster tend to take longer strides while maintaining the same cadence. The METASPEED ? Sky are able to optimize that stride, thanks to a higher midsole and a carbon plate that promote energy return and propulsion. In this case, the search for that "Holy Grail" is focused on offering more energy to maintain a fast pace in the last kilometers of the race.

All in all, the key points and main novelties presented by these ASICS METASPEED? Sky are summarized as:

FlyteFoam? Blast Turbo foam.

Once again, ASICS product developers have managed to put a new twist on one of their high-performance cushioning foams. In this case, the ASICS METASPEED? Sky features FlyteFoam? Blast Turbo material, which maximizes compression and ensures better underfoot responsiveness. Of course the change is very noticeable, because this new midsole, which now has more height, is lighter and more elastic. Transitions are more reactive, fluid and responsive.

Propulsion with the carbon plate

The inclusion of a full-length carbon plate means that this model of the METASPEED? Sky not only impulse the runner forward, but also guides him/her in the support of each stride without neglecting such relevant sections as stability and lightness.

More efficient and dynamic design

Of course, the construction of the curved midsole structure with which ASICS has created a trend allows minimizing the energy expenditure of the ankle by reducing its flexion. That easy forward rotation allows runners to go farther with less expense and effort.

Engineered mesh

The upper of these ASICS METASPEED? Sky also have some interesting features with that new engineered mesh that helps make the model lighter, more comfortable and softer, offering better adaptability to the runner's foot, but also increasing the breathability of the shoe with every mile run.

ASICSGRIP? in the outsole

One last note not to be left out is found in the outsole of these METASPEED? Sky by ASICS, in which they mount a light and resistant rubber to provide the model with an excellent level of traction and durability to face the passage of kilometers with the maximum guarantees.

What are the benefits of the ASICS METASPEED? Sky?

A point to keep in mind is that this new METASPEED? Sky line from ASICS presents shoes with scientifically tested designs to fit different running styles, and which the Japanese brand has identified as Stride and Cadance.

In this sense, for Stride type runners looking to gain speed by increasing stride length, the benefits provided by these ASICS METASPEED? Sky are:

• Reduce the number of steps to finish a marathon by more than 12 compared to other ASICS models. Up to 350 fewer steps as they claim from the Japanese brand.

• Improved running economy by 3 compared to top of the range ASICS long distance shoes.

ASICS METASPEED? Sky Technical Specifications

However, the true dimension of these ASICS METASPEED? Sky is that elite athletes such as Sara Hall -first athlete to test the first prototype in the London 2020 Marathon with a 15-second reduction in her personal best-; as well as Julien Wanders or Mario Mola, recent signings of ASICS Team, will wear this model in their upcoming competitions and also with a view to the Tokyo 2021 Olympic Games.

Looking at its technical specifications, the ASICS METASPEED? Sky is no doubt a flying shoe for long distance running. They feature a low profiledrop of 5 millimeters, as well as different heights in the men's (33mm/28mm) and women's (31mm/26mm) models.

While the weights make clear their great lightness with 199 grams in these running shoes for men (size 9USA) and 165 grams for the women's version (size 7USA).

Of course, the ASICS METASPEED? Sky has come to compete head to head with the adidas Adizero Adios Pro and Nike Alphafly Next%, among other running shoes with carbon plate.

New range of METASPEED? shoes from ASICS

Finally it should be noted that the launch of these new ASICS METASPEED? Sky does not come alone, and within the high performance line Project Speed, the Japanese brand brings to the scene two more models to beat all personal bests: ASICS METASPEED? Edge, ASICS MAGIC SPEED ? and ASICS HYPER SPEED.

• ASICS METASPEED? Sky: Increased speed with a higher midsole to optimize stride at the same cadence.

• ASICS MAGIG SPEED: Lighter model that includes Guidesole? technology to ensure energy return for longer. Responsive speed.

• ASICS HYPER SPEED : More versatileshoe focused on providing dynamism, comfort, lightness and support.

• ASICS METASPEED? Edge: Its design allows you to lengthen your stride to conserve more energy, but also helping to control your pace and cadence during the run.
