METASPEED SKY

Racing2021-03-31 · JP · Release dateChecked 2026-10-25

METASPEED SKY is the first-generation road racer for stride-style runners, who gain speed mainly by lengthening each step. FF BLAST TURBO works with a full-length carbon plate and pronounced forefoot curve to support longer strides while limiting ankle flexion. A laterally flared midsole adds landing stability, while the lightweight mesh upper and ASICSGRIP outsole provide airflow, support, and traction at race pace.
