The MetaSpeed Paris Series Review

Published on March 26, 2024

The Asics Metaspeed Paris Series is a new line of running shoes designed to meet the needs of elite runners. These shoes feature cutting-edge technology to provide runners with the support, cushioning, and speed they need to perform at their best.

At the heart of the Metaspeed Paris Series is Asics’ innovative Guidesole technology. This technology is designed to reduce the load on the lower limbs and improve running efficiency by guiding the foot through each stride. The shoe’s carbon plate runs through the midsole, providing a snappy, responsive feel that propels the runner forward with each step.

To further enhance the shoe’s performance, Asics has developed a new foam called FF Blast Turbo. This foam is designed to be lighter and more responsive than traditional foam, providing a comfortable and supportive ride for runners. The shoe’s upper is made of a breathable mesh material that helps to keep the feet cool and comfortable during long runs.

The Asics Metaspeed Paris Series is available in two models: the Metaspeed Sky and the Metaspeed Edge. The Sky is designed for runners who prioritize support and cushioning, while the Edge is designed for runners who want to prioritize speed and responsiveness. The Metaspeed Sky features a thicker sole and a more cushioned midsole, while the Metaspeed Edge has a thinner sole and a more responsive feel.

The Metaspeed Paris Series is an excellent choice for elite runners looking for a high-performance shoe that can help them take their performance to the next level. With its innovative technology and comfortable design, this shoe is sure to be a top pick for runners everywhere.

Key Highlights we love: 

>New, snug-fit upper that keeps your foot in place. It’s made to ensure breathability great for rainy (or sweaty) training. 

>Bouncy midsole that has a lot of responsiveness to it. Both the Sky and Edge feature this–which one you choose will vary depending on your stride length and cadence. 

>Great responsiveness, especially for track workouts! We all liked testing them out in our clinic track workouts and would highly recommend them for your tempo/workout training runs. 

>The specific shoe is based on your cadence. It’s a neat concept to have a shoe designed to match your running stride! The Edge is for cadence-style runners, whose cadence increases at faster paces, and the Sky is for stride-style runners, who increase their stride length at faster paces but maintain the same cadence. It’s a great innovation and we enjoyed testing out the models to find which one suited us the best.
