Many brands now have two carbon plate running shoes in their lineup, usually at different prices. But Asics does it differently to everyone else, pitching the Asics Metaspeed Edge Paris and Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris as best-suited to different running styles because of the different shape of the carbon plates in their midsoles.
The shoes have similar specs, cost the same, and are both excellent racing shoes, but I still prefer the Asics Metaspeed Sky Paris despite the Edge Paris being theoretically better-suited to my high-cadence running style. Living in the Sky Paris’s shadow doesn’t help the Edge Paris, but it remains a top racing option that some might prefer the feel of to the Sky Paris.
