A Runner’s Mind | Run Specialty

“The METASPEED™ Series first launched in 2021 with the METASPEED™ SKY and METASPEED™ EDGE shoes—two racing shoes designed to serve distinct running styles.


Now, we’re excited to introduce the next generation of speed with the METASPEED™ SKY/EDGE TOKYO shoes.


Both shoes in the new METASPEED™ Series feature a lightweight carbon plate for propulsion. The METASPEED™ SKY shoe’s flatter plate helps propel you vertically for extended strides, while the METASPEED™ EDGE shoe’s angled plate propels you forward to accelerate your cadence.

When deciding between the METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO and METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO shoes, it comes down to your running style on race day. The METASPEED™ SKY shoe is best for runners who speed up by extending their stride, while the METASPEED™ EDGE shoe is designed for runners with a higher cadence (i.e. a higher number of foot strikes per minute).


METASPEED SKY TOKYO: Designed to help you increase your speed by lengthening your strides while conserving energy with each step.


METASPEED EDGE TOKYO: Designed to help you run faster by conserving energy and increasing the number of strides you take.”
