METASPEED SKY

RacingReleased 2021-03-31JP

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.

Weight note
ASICS Australia official exact men's METASPEED SKY product page for style 1011B215.800 lists 199g / 7oz. Run2Day exact retailer page for supplier article 1011B215 corroborates 199g. Pro:Direct exact product pages list 210g in size 8, so the official ASICS Australia value is preferred for the existing men's base row.
Plate note
