Asics has always taken a different approach to its carbon plate running shoes than other brands, offering two options in the Metaspeed Sky and Metaspeed Edge that are meant to suit different running styles.
This sounds good on paper, but has never tallied up with my real-world experience of the shoes — I’ve always preferred the Sky despite having a running style that should suit the Edge. The waters have been muddied further this year by the introduction of a third racer, the Asics Metaspeed Ray.
