The standout in the new collection is without a doubt the METASPEED\u2122 RAY. Weighing in at just 129 grams, it ranks among the lightest carbon-plated racing shoes on the market for long distances. Its name conjures the speed of a ray of light and draws inspiration from the Japanese word \u201cRei,\u201d meaning \u201czero\u201d\u2014hinting at a near-weightless feel on your feet. It\u2019s especially designed for runners who strike on the forefoot, favoring a fast, light stride that\u2019s further enhanced by the new ASICS FF LEAP\u2122 foam<\/b><\/span>, the brand\u2019s lightest, softest, and most responsive material to date.<\/p>\n

A Matryx\u00ae upper<\/b><\/span> helps keep weight down while adding stability. And the updates don\u2019t stop there\u2014the carbon element has also been redesigned, featuring a minimally shaped carbon plate<\/b><\/span> focused on propulsion without excess weight. The Dynamic Drop Structure<\/b><\/span>, a kind of adaptive drop enabled by the rapid compression of the FF LEAP\u2122 foam, delivers a more pronounced drop effect during toe-off, despite the stated 5mm drop. For added confidence, the ASICSGRIP\u2122 outsole ensures traction, even on tough terrain.<\/p>\n
