What You'll Love Light and bouncy FlyteFoam Turbo cushioning Efficient rocker geometry Elite and comfortable upper Nimble and propulsive take-off With the help of elite athletes like Sara Hall, ASICS went into the lab and developed some of the best road racing technology on the market today, and as a result, the ASICS Metaspeed Edge is made to start fast and finish faster. The shoe features FLYTEFOAM Turbo cushioning, the company’s newest and most responsive midsole compound. This innovative foam is paired with a rigid carbon-fiber plate that equips athletes with the energy return and snappiness to go faster. What makes the Metaspeed Edge unique is the rockered shape, along with the heel-to-toe drop of the midsole. With a lower stack height and a higher heel-to-toe drop, the Metaspeed Edge encourages a quicker but smoother cadence and helps to propel runners forward. The rocker geometry also aids in increasing efficiency and conserving energy, meaning athletes can feel invigorated as the race progresses. The durable ASISCGRIP outsole and lightweight engineered mesh upper give the Metaspeed Edge the final touches it needs to be an amazing race day option that helps runners quicken their cadence and propel them forward towards faster times on the road.
