The Metaspeed Sky Paris racing shoes are crafted for stride-style runners aiming to start fast and finish faster. These shoes enable runners to increase their speed by lengthening their strides while conserving energy with each step. Featuring an energetic midsole foam and a propulsive carbon plate, they help maintain pace and conserve energy in the race's later stages. Providing you with enhanced levels of breathability and comfort, the ASICS Metaspeed Sky feature a MotionWrap 2.0 upper with a sock-like fit and feel, for flexibility and freedom of movement to keep you focused on the race ahead. The no-sew construction will also encourage targeted airflow, whilst also removing the risk of irritations being caused by rubbing and chafing. Support is offered to the forefoot and rearfoot as the material thickens, protecting vulnerable areas of the feet whilst a flat-lying tongue prevents irritation from occurring. Completing the upper of the Metaspeed sky is a traditional lace-up construction, allowing you to keep your foot locked down and secure inside the shoes. Updated with the lighter FF Turbo Plus midsole, the Metaspeed Sky helps to generate an exceptional response, to help you go and feel a lot faster. The midsole will also provide cushioning to take weight off the joints. This will reduce injuries, as well as prevent fatigue from occurring and the impacts with the ground will also be absorbed instantly. The midsole has a curved design and also has a full carbon plate guiding the foot and propelling the body forward. The carbon plate is wider than in previous versions to allow for more FF Turbo Plus for even more energy return and a more responsive kick-off. Outstanding grip and traction are guaranteed with the ASICSGRIP outsole.
