Neutral

• Foot Type

  Normal size arches

• Push Off

  There is even distribution from the front of the foot.

• Considered Injuries

  Less likely due to effective shock absorption, but neutral runners are not immune to injury.

• How your foot contacts the ground

  The foot lands on outside of the heel, then rolls inward (pronates) to absorb shock and support body weight.

Underpronation

• Foot Type

  High arches

• Push Off

  The pressure is on smaller toes on outside of foot.

• Considered Injuries

  Plantar fasciitis, shin splints, ankle strain.

• How your foot contacts the ground

  The outer side of the heel hits the ground at an increased angle with little or no normal pronation, causing a large transmission of shock through the lower leg.

Details

The METASPEED™ SKY TOKYO shoe is our pinnacle racing product, designed for stride-style runners who are looking to start fast and finish faster. Runners wearing these shoes will be able to increase their speed by lengthening their strides while conserving energy with each step. ​

The newly designed FF LEAP™ foam technology is super lightweight and bouncy. It’s strategically positioned in the midsole’s bottom layer to help provide more cushioning and a higher energy return. The top layer of the midsole implements FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning. This configuration enhances the foam’s responsive properties while creating better stability during the landing phase of your stride.

Thanks to a higher plate positioning and a thicker midsole thickness through the toe area (when compared to the METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO shoe), you’ll experience a higher energy return and an extended stride length. This property will help you to kick-through the 30km wall and maintain your pace at the later stages of the race.
