    ASICS UNVEIL THEIR LATEST PINNACLE METASPEED ™ SERIES FOR RUNNERS LOOKING TO FEEL SPEED AND FIND CONFIDENCE

     Dubai, United Arab Emirates, May 2025:– ASICS today announces the METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO and METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO along with a brand new, super light METASPEED™ RAY. These three products represent pinnacle speed innovation with key advances in minimizing weight and maximizing performance. 

    Developed with our top athletes alongside rigorous scientific research from the team at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science, this new series continues to lead ASICS’ pursuit of creating products that are appropriate for different runners and running styles in the performance running category.

    Through intensive research and testing, ASICS is excited to add a new addition to our speed line, METASPEED™ RAY. Featuring a truly innovative design, the shoe weighs just 129 grams*, placing it among the very lightest carbon-plated distance racing shoes available on the market today. This new super-light option in the METASPEED™ series is designed for athletes who prioritize a bouncy, weightless ride and is particularly efficient for forefoot strikers. 

    Named ‘Ray’ based on the inspiration from the speed of a ray of light and the Japanese ‘Rei’, meaning ‘zero’ to signify its weightlessness, the shoe benefits from ASICS’ latest scientific innovations in its all-out pursuit of speed. Its midsole is made entirely from the brand new ASICS FF LEAP™ foam, ASICS’ lightest, softest and bounciest foam ever used which provides a super lightweight experience and enables athletes to take a powerful and confident leap forward in every stride. Its Matryx® upper is formed of a light woven material to maintain the shoe’s lightness while providing a secure lockdown of your foot, even as the pace increases. 

    The shoe features a minimal carbon plate to help propel athletes forward at the foot-strike phase without adding undue weight to the shoe. Also adding to the shoe’s energetic underfoot feel is its innovative Dynamic Drop Structure, in which the fast defamation of the FF LEAP™ foam as your foot hits the ground creates a significantly greater drop than the 5mm drop in the shoe’s original design. The METASPEED™ RAY also grips well even on wet surfaces thanks to its ASICS GRIP outsole. 

    Making up the latest collection of products are the METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO and METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO, our much-loved pinnacle racing shoes that have now been made better than ever before. Primarily, the main difference between the two shoes can be found in the shape and positioning of the full-length carbon plate, which in the METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO is designed for stride-style runners, who have a long, loping gait and increase their speed by increasing their stride length. The METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO meanwhile is optimized for cadence-style runners, who take smaller steps and increase their speed by increasing both their stride length and the number of steps they take per minute. 

    Both the METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO and METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO feature a combination of the new FF LEAP™ foam and the high-performance FF TURBO™ PLUS foam in its midsole, so while the shoes provide the softest, bounciest ride ever seen in the METASPEED™ series, athletes will also benefit from added stability to give them the confidence to deliver their top speeds over the longer distances. The shoes are fitted with an improved MOTION WRAP 3.0 which is lightweight and breathable, while providing a secure holding for the foot. 

    The new series of METASPEED™ products represents the continuation of ASICS’ unique design philosophy which it first shared with the world with the launch of the original METASPEED™ SKY and METASPEED™ EDGE in 2021. The shoes were designed on ASICS’ belief that performance running shoe design should reflect that we don’t all run the same – a point of view that had not yet been considered by the rest of the running category. The METASPEED™ has since gone on to support athletes worldwide as they chase their personal bests, putting ASICS at the center of the elite distance running conversation. Now, thanks to these latest innovations, every athlete will have the chance to feel new levels of speed and confidence as they strive for peak performance. 

    To celebrate and showcase the new products, ASICS will take to the streets of Tokyo tomorrow alongside over 2,750 runners of all abilities to hold a unique speed race on a flat, fast course next to the Japan National Stadium. The event, named the Tokyo : Speed : Race, will offer runners, including world-class elite athletes, the opportunity to unlock new levels of confidence as they strive for new personal bests.

    Looking further ahead, ASICS is looking forward to seeing the new METASPEED™ models inspire athletes to new records at the upcoming World Athletics Championships Tokyo 25 in September, an event in which ASICS will be taking part as an official partner.  

    Bashir Abdi, an ASICS sponsored elite marathoner representing Belgium said: “The new collection of METASPEED™ models is the result of extensive scientific development from the ASICS team to refine and update the shoe according to feedback from myself and my fellow elite athletes. Not only do the new shoes reflect some of the specific details we look for in a racing shoe, but it is also real confidence boost having the option of three models which we can test and evaluate which best suits our running style.” 

    Shuhei Takemura, project leader of the METASPEED™ series Product Development at ASICS said: “It is a great moment to be able to share the latest ASICS METASPEED™ silhouettes with the world. This collection of shoes is innovatively designed to match different running styles and preferences to give all athletes the comfort and confidence to find their speed. 

    “Furthermore, we are humbled that this series of products will take on the name of ASICS’ home of Tokyo, a city that has an incredible sporting heritage and will be welcoming fans from around the world for the World Athletics Championships 25 later this year.”
