Designed to help the runners reach higher speeds by propelling runner's stride forward while experiencing a powerful energy return. The METASPEED™ RAY shoe is ASICS' pinnacle racing product, designed for elite runners who are looking to start fast and finish faster (especially those who are forefoot runners). The newly designed FF LEAP™ foam technology is super lightweight and bouncy. It's strategically positioned in the midsole to help promote a powerful energy return in each step. This shoe is formed with a minimal and lighter carbon plate. It's designed to help propel you forward so you can maintain your pace at the later stages of the race. A MATRYX® upper material helps keep the shoe extremely lightweight while keeping your foot secure at fast paces. The shoe also implements ASICSGRIP™ technology in the outsole to help provide grip on various surfaces, including wet terrain.
