Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The METASPEED SKY TOKYO pairs soft FF LEAP and FF TURBO PLUS cushioning with a carbon plate in a dedicated road racer. It is designed around runners who lengthen their stride as they accelerate, with strong cushioning and energy return as its main attractions. The heel can feel unstable, so that racing focus comes with a meaningful compromise for anyone who needs a more supportive landing. A snug interior and narrow toe box reinforce the close fit, making careful assessment worthwhile even for runners accustomed to racing shoes.
