METASPEED RAY

RacingRelease date 2025-08-12JP

METASPEED RAY is ASICS' pinnacle ultra-light racer for elite athletes, with particular focus on forefoot runners. FF LEAP spans the midsole and sockliner to provide a light, responsive platform, while a minimal carbon plate supports propulsion late in the race. A MATRYX upper keeps the foot secure at speed, and ASICSGRIP provides traction across varied surfaces, including wet roads.
