METASLEEK

Speed TrainerRelease date 2026-08US

METASLEEK is a road training shoe for developing natural propulsion and a close connection to the ground. Its non-carbon construction pairs a thin, stable FF TURBO SQUARED midsole with non-assisted forefoot geometry. From daily runs to speed sessions and shorter races, MOTION WRAP 3.0 helps hold the foot with lightweight ventilation, while ASICSGRIP supports traction at faster paces.

Show source notes

Release note: The August 13 Japan announcement schedules online advance sales for August 20 and broader retail sales for August 27. Keep August 20 as the first scheduled purchase opportunity, not an observed first-sale event. Historical August US availability is retained as context with unknown event type because it does not prove the broad launch timing.
Source note: Normal exact Japan press, US product and authorized retailer pages were rechecked. Retain official 129g, an 8mm drop, USD 225, Japan JPY 19,800 including tax, and the retailer's explicit 29/21mm pair; its 125g is not adopted. Japan's two dates are source-stated sales plans. Historical August US availability is not a proven initial launch. The bilingual summary adds Japan's daily-to-speed-training role and MOTION WRAP 3.0 without using customer reviews or lab metrics.
