Asics Metaspeed Edge Paris First Run Review
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 14 окт 2024
- The Asics Metaspeed Edge Paris is one of two new racing shoes released by Asics this year. Along with the Sky Paris, it's designed to offer a lightweight and fast ride for the marathon distance. In this video, I give an overview of the shoe, take it out for a workout and let you know where it fits in the market and which racing shoes to consider based on your goals and footstrike.
Update: I mentioned Edge might have felt firmer than the Sky in this video but that changed during my comparison test. See my full thoughts on Edge vs Sky here

Let’s go!!! Been wondering about the Edge. Edit: I can’t believe you took a sharpie to that beautiful shoe! 😮
I know right. Other than the different colour outsole the other way of telling them apart is the gradient of the plate being sloped on the edge's ff turbo black and yellow sticker on the front of the midsole vs the sky which isn't sloped.
They’re just tools. Nothing more
Tip during taper week: I try to remind myself that running is a privilege. Several people don’t make it to the starting line healthy. Treat any race like a party/celebration
I love this 🙌🏽
💯🙏
Excellent comparison, appreciate it.
Simply the best shoe reviews on YT,thx for the effort putting into these videos dude🙏💪
I tried both the Edge Paris and the Sky Paris at my local running shoe store. I went with the Sky Paris. Apparently, that was the right choice because it got me to a BQ two Sunday's ago.
Great stuff. By far best running shoe content on RUclips. Good luck on the race!
🙌🏽 thank you
Great review, thank you. My cousin is in Japan and is bringing me back the Edge and Sky. I'll have less than a week to decide what to use, before the London marathon! Good luck with your marathon on Sunday 🙌🏽
Your reviews are very helpful and informative. Keep it coming!
My best race week tip is to make a list of everything you need to take with you on race day. Have everything on that list laid out the day before with the list sitting next to the laid out items (I set mine pile of stuff on our kitchen counter). This has helped reduce my anxiety over a race because I can wake up, go through my normal routine, and get ready without thinking of what needs to be taken to the start line.
Thanks for the insight, useful and relatable for me having some of the shoes. Noted the narrow heal in the ASICS….Enjoying the content - this is your best to date, excellent overview of the super shoes and nailed it. 👌 I have the Hoka RX2, I’d be interested in where you would sit it in the mix…
I ran a recent marathon in the Edge Paris - loved it, similar time to my previous marathon in the VF3. Edge had a bit more protection up front. Still looks like new - I think they may be more durable than they look.
Can’t wait to see Endorphin Elite in your Lab!!
Race week tip - 2x 2-3mins cold plunge on daily,and focus on breathing 🤘🏻
Love how you lined up all the shoes to categorise into aggressiveness vs stability! Very helpful.🙏🏼 I’m going to try on some super shoes this weekend / might buy one. I’m a current adizero sl user looking to try out plated running shoe. Eyeing off adios pro 3 and Saucony pro 4, but a lot will come down to the best fitting shoe for me
🎉🙌 Saw the video title this morning and happily let it play through 😁
Thanks for all the tips on the edge! I should've gone up to 11 like you suggested 🥲
@@supwellno prob man, just happy you got to try the shoe! Hope you can get your hands on a pair of 11s 🙏 and thanks a bunch for the shoutout! Very cool of you 🤙🙂
Been waiting for this one. I can’t justify having both the Edge and Paris. Based on a short try on in store, I chose the Sky Paris for a sub 3 marathon attempt. The Edge Paris’ more aggressive rocker felt like a better option for shorter distance races for me. Curious if you feel the same, looking forward to your detailed comparison.
as a forefoot to midfootstriker, I much preferred the feel of the sky. I increase both my stride length and cadence as I speed up, but when I ran in the edge with the rocker, I felt like my toes were right on the ground and it felt very unstable landing on the forefoot. I went with the sky and felt much more supported on landing.
“One jog everyone knows the rules” 😂😂, nice pun there! Keep on with the great work.
Valuable comments from other viewers
Yeah, i feel lack of foam in forefoot of VF3
Tnx for review
Love your videos man! I’m a slower runner and the Endorphin Pro 4 looks the best for me after all your analysis. I have a burning question though….WHAT SHOE ARE YOU GOING TO RUN IN? Haha! Get excited for your race. Be grateful, trust your process and when you get to that starting line be present in the moment. You’re ready and the training will get you those results. Have fun!
Love those tips - thank you 🙌🏽 and I'm still deciding! Whatever I pick will get a full post-race report though. Also pro 4 is a great choice
Last workout five days before marathon. 7 or 8 1k repeats at HM pace is enough to calm your thoughts😊
Race week tip: Calmness comes with experience, no way to force it. Only when you have shown to yourself that your daily condition does not matter and that you ALWAYS have it in you, only then can you let go of thinking about it all the time and actually getting some rest. Then you realize what it means to believe in and rely on your training. The race begun a long time ago and it's almost over, raceday is just the victory lap.
This is awesome. Reminds me of the saying "stay ready so you don't have to get ready"
Night before race, pizza. I don’t know. I cannot explain it but once I ate some pizza before a night before a race thinking it might be a bad move but oh well, and I felt great race day. I tried it again and I did what I wanted to do again. Now I’m just convinced it’s a law, I have to have pizza day before race.
Taper week - a lot of walking. I also use this time to review my workouts leading up to and studying the course. I let the data bring confidence.
Definitely 0.5 size up. I tried both Sky Paris and Edge Paris briefly jogging in a local ASICS event right before general release and to luck the only pair available was US 0.5 size up from my usual size and I thought it was the right size for me. I liked the fit of Edge more with a bit more midfoot width. I also liked the pop I was getting and the rocker was much more functional than the Sky. Personally, I found Edge is more comfortable.
I think out of all these shoes Endorphin Pro 3/4 are the most decent value at $225 and ASICS is now offering a great super shoe by keeping the price at $250. Nike increased the price of VF3 by $10-20 in the last year. In fact, you can find Endorphin Pro 3 as low as $160-170. During the last marathon expo, the sellers had various sizes at that price. Amazon also has Endorphin Pro 3 at lower prices. I bought green colorway as few months ago as low as $145 (my second pair). Even if one doesn't race they make good training shoe.
EP3 is great shoe; imo best shoe after org VF; I must try Paris series
I'd be curious to hear your thoughts on the Edge vs. Sky because they're basically the same shoe except for plate placement. Most of the big brands are doing something similar; they just aren't framing it the way Asics does. Adidas AP3/Evo 1; Saucony Pro 4/Elite; Nike Vaporfly/Alphafly, Hoka Cielo X1/Rocket X2. This could also affect the experience in the plated trainers.
When you get to your marathon, you're going to have 9,000 guys and girls rooting for you.
I do like the Paris colorway. I got the Superblast in that color.
Nice detailed content. Love it!
🙌🏽 thank you!
I have a question. I struggle to find a shoe that equals or even comes close to the nike vaporfly next% version 1.
Did you ever run in them? And if yes which of the sky series would you pair them closest to? Thank you.
Endorphin Pro 3
@markoljustina i run in them. They are not the same. In fact i would say they are very different. I currently use the pro 3s for workouts. Race 5ks and 10k in vaporfly but the next 2 and 3 just not the same. There is a noticeable difference. The foam was different wasnt like squishy. And then the next 2 bit firmer. Not as propulsive. Whatver they have done i dont know. But iv been searching. Endorphin pro 4 is squishy mess. Returned after one run.
@@PDARUNS you have to accept that you will never find them; i remember when i try VF2 when i still have VF1, they feel firmer; but now they feel soft to me; i buy them after AP3 and EP3
@markoljustina fair enough. Oh yes its accepted i have to move on with the times. Endorphin pro 3 just dont feel like a race day shoe to me like when you put on a fresh pair of vf1. Liked the vp2 for track work sessions etc.
Anyways. Just wondering to get one of the sky series since i train in the novablast 3. So thinking maybe be a good move. But edge or sky
@@PDARUNS don’t know; i am interested in both of shoes; waiting to come to my country; i will buy one for sure
cant wait for the Saucony Elite 😮
My favorite Racing Shoe but this Metaspeed Sky Paris looks also very Interesting.
Nice Review.
I’m a cyclist who just got into running; my tip for calming during bike races is to remember it’s just a hard group ride. Maybe the same applies?
Great review per usual!! And keep the rap😂
Hi,is the midsole of the Edge Paris softer than that of the broken-in superblast v1? Do you think it is exactly the same formulation ?
Half Marathon distance, 3 x 5k at MP warm up mile, rolling recovery and lightly jog it out... Im nowhere near as fast, just gives me confidence in the foundation..
This one sounds fun - half marathons are my favorite so I'll have to try this before my next one
My tried and tested taper routine for a marathon or longer race: 3 weeks at 80%, 60% and 35% volume. Schedule remains the same, but workouts get significantly smaller: you can’t build additional fitness anymore, so it’s maintenance. Long runs go down to 23 km with less than 10 km tempo work (2 weeks out) and 16-18 km with 4-6 km tempo work (1 week out). Small speed workout in first taper week (about 50% volume, shorter sets) and even smaller in second taper week. Just some pickups with 2 x 1 km tempo in the final week.
Biggest challenge for me is cutting down on the eating during the last two weeks 😂
I have a plethora-nay, a veritable myriad-of last sharpening quality sessions for race week. Mainly because I’ve gotten bored with the usual 3*mile or 5*1000 or whatever. All of my race week tuneups add up to 5000 meters. My recent favorite that I did four days before my two-forty-nine PR in Chicago was (to put in in Daniels lingo):
2*1000 @HM
2*800 @T
2*400 @I
6*100 (strides) @R
I love the Edge Paris. It might be my new favorite racer for half marathons and under. I could take it for a marathon, but I think I’d rather go AlphaFly 3 or Endorphin Elite for that distance.
This is awesome - I'll have to try that one next time
I would be interest to know how the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2 fits into this lineup. Thanks!
Will add that one to the list for later in the spring/summer! But from what I know about the shoe it's been described as on the softer and less aggressive side, more similar to the pro 4 and sc elite v4 than Vaporfly and Metaspeed Paris shoes
The plate position reminds me a lot of the magic speed 3 and I absolutely love those but the magic speed was much lower stack and firmer
Do you use the masters sound bar for the background noise lol. You need to share some playlists too.
Are you going to be filming your marathon day? I hope so I really want to see how you turn out good luck :) (ps. You have quickly become my favourite RUclipsr and internet person, love your energy and passion about running shoes and running in general😁)
Thank you! Yes I'll definitely be documenting the day 🙌🏽
Absolutely dying you wrote “EDGE” on the midsole 💀
I chose the Edge as I am more of a cadence runner. We will see. Marathon in 4 days. 😊
Good luck! 💪🏽
Write some feedback here
For me “Taper week” just means
Volume 📉
Intensity 📈
If its a Half marathon a track workout to remind the legs to go fast. For the full marathon, I will do a short interval workout.
Me when you brought out the marker : Noooooooooooooo *slowmo
I like that you went for it though and did the big letters.
Also, that marathon shoe rundown was great. Maybe should be a separate video for non subscribers to find💯
its easy to tell the difference with the plate position marker😉
Asics sizing is a bit off for me too.
Got a dead toenail in my actual size after a 5km run. Didn’t have that issue when I chose a half size larger.
Proper preparation (and experience) prevents poor performance. The race is the victory lap to celebrate your training.
Fellow Dukie,
My final speed workout before my '86 Oly Trials bid was 3 days prior = 5 x 2 min at c. 5k pace with a 1 min jog on dirt. Obviously, science has advanced much since then. If I was to do it now, I'd go 4 days before the race and tone it down some, like on grass 1 x mile at goal race pace; equal time jog; 4 x 200m at 3k to 5k pace with 200j. Just enough to maintain form and turnover a bit without taking a chance on any soreness or leg fatigue. Really nothing you do the last two weeks will enhance your fitness (other than raw speed, which doesn't really matter for a marathon); you're just trying to rest and keep an edge on. Best wishes!
Love this - will have to try before a race. It's awesome that you qualified for the Olympic trials 💪🏽
Pro running tip: you can replace the down padding in your gilet with gel and electrolytes for a more even weight distribution on race day.
💯
Great job on video
I’m still running in Endorphin Pro V1s 😂 So many upgrade options 😮
If it ain't broke don't fix it!
Listen to John Coltrane & Sade all day the day before race day
ruclips.net/video/TWFhW3-cI3E/видео.htmlsi=T_K8RnlrAoSBhqo-
Got both the Sky and Edge Paris but the Edge was a better fit and feel. Had to fly the Sky back to Asics
Dude! Say what you want about all the shoes but you KNOW there's no hiding what your fav marathon racer is when you pick your shoe for Sunday! If I had to pick based on your reviews it's going to be the Sky.
Called it. That workout you had in the Sky was straight fire and you were pretty jazzed up about it.
I have seen the yellow paint on the shoe came off. Did not expect that.
Can you give a Tutorial on how you tie your shoes?
Here you go! ruclips.net/user/shortstASsKW2FFEI?si=YL2fqwdMztjRV0UV
Best tip= Poop before the race.
Dont assume these shoes wont be je durable. The Plus models have similar outsoles and they have been very durable.
Is sky wider than edge?
The upper fit is super similar - on foot running comparison coming soon so stay tuned for that
Race week tip: if you're not ready for a marathon 5 days out your time is better spent in prayer rather than training 😊
I'm hoping the 10 straight 100 mile weeks were good enough preparation 😉
FINALLY 🔥
At the elite level - have noticed the sky as the shoe of choice - just watched the winners of the Paris marathon wearing sky's - no edge's to be found among the leaders (could not see anyone wearing the black soled shoes...)
eat a ton of Belgium waffles, ~2-3 a day for the four days leading up to the race
That sounds amazing. I have a truckload of bagels coming through today 😂
Which is better edge or sky for the slower runner?
Full comparison video is coming next!
I don’t know why these run testers complain a lot about the variety of running shoes that are coming out, mainly these companies based their products on what these run testers inputs trying to cater to variety of runners, plus the get to create more videos because of it.
But bigger runners such as myself can’t use the metaspeed edge or sky Paris as ASICS doesn’t make size US 14 or more… I’m 6’6. At least the other brands are making US14
Quite interesting that the hoka rocket x2 is not in the mix..maybe it's not considered to be a racing shoe 🤔
Good call - I forgot to mention that I have not tried that one either. Hoping to bring it in for testing later in the spring/summer! So that, endorphin elite, mizuno wave pro and the puma fast r are the last ones to test
Buddy I have both, it says on the tongue Sky and Edge!
Crying with the Sharpie solution, i don't know why they made something to differentiate the shoes a little bit, maybe different lace colors or something...
So no options for midfoot to heel strikers?
Sorry if I didn't mention this but Pro 4 and SC Elite v4 are both great options for midfoot and heel strikers. I'm an aggressive heel striker at 6:50 mile pace and slower and love the endorphin pro 4 for that pace range
@@supwell Thanks.
Yowana EDGES to his shoes
My tips for the sharpening/t-word phase:
1. Use your extra time and energy to prepare for the race, both mentally and your race kit
2. Trust your training and carb tf up 🙂
Best Running Tip: Don't be so hard on yourself.
I don’t understand why ASICS chose the most confusing naming convention possible for the two shoe models. Like, at least make them seperate colors or do something to make them stand out against one another
Only difference is the bottom. Red is sky. Edge is black. Dumb lol
@@tuckertech And the yellow/black on the side showing the difference in plate position.
It's not a beauty pageant contest. It's a tool for performers. And for Asics, it's a better way to optimize the production line, and it's costless.
HA! I was listening to this review and I was like, "man this guy talks way too much, not sure we could be friends" then you showed me we are both petty as hell because I couldn't do this because I would be pissed at the comments section 😂👊🍻
😂 🙌🏽 I appreciate you man
The upper for me in the pro/speed feels super sloppy and the fit was super pour i feel like, unless people have a wider/high volume foot
What shoes do you plan on wearing for the marathon?
Haven't decided yet 🤔
"ASICS Metaspeed Edge Paris... The best shoes for taking out the trash" 😂😂😂
I'm the second 🥈😅
3rd place 🥉
@4:03 pause
Try Brooks Levitate 6
Peaking! That’s what we say here in the Rockies.
Love that 💪🏽 I think Hanson's method calls it the same
Hahahahah does anyone wanna buy my endorpin shift shoes?? They seem a little firm. I actually just bought the alphaflys yesterday. Can’t wait to try them. I don’t know if they will be right for me but I’m hoping so.
wow im first, yeeeeheeeee
I’ve only raced once bruv, but I’ll do my best!
My tip is to feed into your anger. Kick that kid at the restaurant that won’t stop throwing food at your kid. Take the last shopping cart at the grocery store right before the little old lady can grab it. Give a homeless man 5 dollars in pennies. Let Satan into your heart ❤
😂
Interesting take. You seem to be having the exact opposite experience to how the Edge/Sky have been previously presented. The Sky+ had the huge swell of foam under the forefoot and felt like almost negative drop, and before the change in drop of the Edge it was always previously compared to the Vaporfly (both had 8mm drops) where the Sky and Alphafly had 4mm. Intriguing review, thank you.
These feel nothing like the Plus models. The two Paris shoes are very similar. It's only the plate that feels different now.
