The ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ for men are neutral competition running shoes. Most runners belong to the group that gets faster by taking longer strides. This type of runner is also called a "stride runner". And it is for these runners that the Metaspeed Sky+ was designed. This ASICS model is designed to help you achieve a personal best time in both a 5K run and a marathon. The Metaspeed Sky+ scores with numerous innovations. The carbon plate is located closer to the foot in this model. There is correspondingly more foam under the plate, which returns more energy when running. In addition, the slightly curved outsole pushes your feet forward. The upper of the Metaspeed Sky+ has been completely redesigned. The Motion Wrap mesh material is lightweight, offers improved breathability, more comfort and a supportive fit. FlyteFoam BLAST TURBO foam is used in the midsole. Turbo Foam is 30% more resilient than regular foam. It gives the Metaspeed Sky+ a soft and springy feel that combines with the carbon plate for a forward propulsive motion. The outsole is made of ASICSGRIP rubber and provides good grip and traction on dry and wet road surfaces. The Metaspeed Sky+ is perfect for runners who want to write new best times.
