METASLEEK

Speed TrainerReleased 2026-08US

METASLEEK is a lightweight road speed shoe built around non-assisted forefoot geometry, so the runner's own movement rather than passive shoe assistance drives propulsion. A thin, stable FF TURBO SQUARED midsole maintains ground contact, while a race-aligned fit eases the transition from speed training to competition. ASICSGRIP supports traction at faster paces for intervals, tempo sessions, and shorter races.
