Product Information
Full details
The ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ is a high-performance racing trainer specifically designed for stride-style runners who want to extend their stride length and maintain top speed throughout their race. By integrating a full-length carbon plate with advanced, responsive midsole foam, this shoe optimizes energy return and forward propulsion. While it excels as a specialized racing tool for competitive athletes, casual runners may find its aggressive, performance-oriented geometry less suitable for everyday recovery or slow-paced training runs.

FAQs
Is the Metaspeed Sky+ suitable for beginners?
These shoes are designed for advanced runners focusing on speed and performance. Beginners may find them less stable than traditional daily training shoes.
Can I use these for long-distance training?
Yes, they are excellent for speed-based long runs and race day, though daily use will reduce the lifespan of the responsive foam.
Does the carbon plate help with energy return?
Yes, the plate works with the foam to provide a spring-like effect that helps propel you forward with each stride.
How should I clean the velvet-like material?
Gently wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
What is the primary difference between the Sky+ and other trainers?
The Sky+ is specifically engineered for 'stride-style' runners, focusing on energy return and stride extension rather than general cushioning.
Troubleshooting
Feeling instability during corners
The shoe's stack height is designed for forward propulsion; focus on landing mid-foot and reduce sharp cornering speed.
Early foot fatigue
Ensure you are using these for faster-paced runs only; the foam requires a certain level of ground force to feel responsive.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent energy return from carbon plate technology
- Lightweight construction ideal for race day
- Engineered to increase stride length efficiently
- Bold and highly visible design
Cons
- Designed primarily for speed and racing, not recovery runs
- Aggressive geometry may take time to adapt to
- Performance-focused materials have a limited lifespan compared to daily trainers
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these are precision racing tools, proper fit is essential. The ASICS Metaspeed Sky+ runs true to size, but athletes should ensure there is adequate room in the toe box for natural foot swelling during long races.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Remove surface dirt using a soft brush. Use a damp cloth with mild soap for stubborn stains. Do not submerge in water.
- Drying: Air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators, which can degrade the midsole foam.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent material breakdown.
- Rotation: To extend the life of the carbon plate and foam, rotate these with daily trainers, keeping the Metaspeed Sky+ primarily for speed work and competitions.
