An initial comparison review of the ASICS Metaspeed Sky and Edge. These shoes were given to me free of charge but I was not paid to do this video and no one has reviewed it before I released it. Also this is not a review - it is a determination of which one works best for me. #asicsrunning #asics ‪@global-runner‬ ‪@stridesrunningstore‬ #strides

Just wanted to pass on my appreciation for your online content. Really enjoy watching all of your videos. You talk very knowledgeably and your manner is very personable. As for this shoes. Hopefully your local running shop get some additional sales based on your association with them. I have a pair of the meta speed sky plus in my collection which I really like. The newer versions seems a big step up. Love the colour way. Good luck in the pursuit of the sub 2.30. You are some runner!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - I love runners! You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for this comment - it’s hugely appreciated and really made my day! And thanks for your feedback on the shoes. I’m really looking forward to getting some serious sessions done in them!

That is a very interesting comparison! Off course the prove of the pudding is the eating. But it will be very interesting when you determine if either the characteristics of the stride runner or the cadence runner as defined by Asics (its on their website illustrated with a video) applies to you. And then check if the outcome fits the shoe of your preference! Looking forward to your review and all the best with your training for the 2.30 💪🏻👊!

Thank you! The one thing I know is that they are very different rides. I love what ASICS is doing but it makes it very confusing to know which shoe is best for you. All the more reason to go to your local running store I guess! :)

I prefer the sky to the edge. for reference my stride was about 1.4 meters and 186 steps per minute for my last race. that compared to my 1.1 meter and 170 steps per minute while doing zone 2 training.

@global-runner 22 дня назад

Those are good reference points. I’m going to do the same for a 5k I did recently

So they embargo colourways now too? Well, at least people will be happy that they're available again! I got the Edge Paris a few weeks ago, because everyone said it was more aggressive than the Sky. Absolutely love it!

@global-runner 24 дня назад

Apparently so! I think for the Olympics maybe? I really liked the Edge. It felt a lot like the Vaporfly to me which is a shoe I love. Real question though - Vaporfly or Edge in a marathon? That’s definitely still up for grabs!

@Fozzee.1970 24 дня назад

Forget the theory on these shoes. I increase my stride more but the Edge Paris work better for me. Your gait will dictate which shoe works for you not your stride/cadence.

@theghostofpcs2391 24 дня назад

@@Fozzee.1970 I'm still a bit confused when it comes to the stride vs cadence theory, but I'm a fore/midfoot striker, who runs low to the ground. I feel that my stride and cadence go up fairly even, so that would put me in the cadence category, I guess. Either way, it feels like the Edge Paris is made for my gait. It's like being catapulted forward with a hefty tailwind. My best super shoe was the Endorphin Pro 3, so I was blown away by the Edge.

@Fozzee.1970 24 дня назад

@@theghostofpcs2391 my cadence and stride go up fairly even too (although slightly higher percentage in the stride). The Edge transitions from midfoot to forefoot nicely. I find the Sky just bounces keeping you on the midfoot. Shoes like that start to fatigue my Achilles.

@global-runner 23 дня назад

I love all these comparisons! I feel like if you enjoy the vaporfly then you’ll like the Edge. But that’s just initial impressions only.
