Built for Stride-Style Runners

The METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO is ASICS' pinnacle racing shoe, engineered for stride-style runners who increase their speed by lengthening their strides. Designed to help you start fast and finish even stronger, it delivers exceptional energy return, lightweight cushioning, and race-day efficiency to maintain peak performance from start to finish.

Key Benefits

• Designed for stride-style runners to maximize speed through longer strides.
• Ultra-lightweight construction with exceptional energy return.
• Optimized midsole geometry for greater stride length and running efficiency.
• Carbon plate technology enhances propulsion and maximizes the performance of the midsole foam.
• Helps runners maintain pace and push through the challenging 30 km wall during long-distance races.

Advanced Midsole Technology

FF LEAP™ Cushioning

Positioned in the bottom layer of the midsole, FF LEAP™ foam is exceptionally lightweight and highly responsive. It delivers superior cushioning and explosive energy return while providing enhanced comfort under the forefoot.

FF TURBO™ PLUS Cushioning

The top layer features FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning, ASICS' premium lightweight foam that offers even greater rebound and responsiveness than FF TURBO™. Working together with FF LEAP™, it creates a highly efficient racing platform with excellent stability during the landing phase of each stride.

Carbon Plate Performance

The integrated carbon plate features a higher positioning and works with the shoe's thicker forefoot midsole to maximize the volume of deformable foam beneath the plate. This design increases energy return, encourages longer strides, and generates powerful forward propulsion to help runners maintain speed through the later stages of the race.

Upper Construction

MOTION WRAP™ 3.0 Upper

A lightweight engineered woven upper that securely locks the foot onto the platform while providing excellent breathability and race-ready support.

Outsole

ASICSGRIP™ Outsole

ASICS' proprietary ASICSGRIP™ rubber outsole delivers reliable traction across a variety of running surfaces while maintaining lightweight performance.

Sustainability

The sockliner is produced using a solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to conventional dyeing methods.
