I think I’m going for the edge. Can’t wait!
So excited for this!
I have been watching your channel for over a year now, and while I know next to nothing about running (ex-defensive tackle 😂), I am struck by how your form seems to be getting better and better! As Spike Lee said years ago in the Jordan ads, “It’s gotta be the shoes Money!”. Or not - you look great in all the reviews these days. Keep up the great work
Thank you! I have also been doing strength training which definitely helps
Loving the traffic-safety orange! 🙌
See you in DC for the Cherry Blossom and congrats on 20k!
Great shoe review! Keep it up 💪🏻
Amazing video as usual! I can’t decide which one of these to get for my marathon!
Awesome review as always!! 👏🏻 Definitely want to try the Edge this time around since I have the + still
I’m really enjoying it!
Great video, I noticed most of the reviewers recommend the Edge, but most tend to land on the rear part of their foot as well. Your stride looks great, to me it looks like you land more in the middle.
I have the Metaspeed Edge plus and Sky plus and Sky plus gives me foot fatigue.. Prefer the ride of the Sky Plus but only for max effort. Edge plus is good for any pace (even recovery) but not for a PB. So definitely getting the Edge Paris ❤. I just love Paris 🗼🗼🗼
Why you even bring the previous model while this has totally different midsole lmao
Released at my Birthday, and I wish Asics would drop me a pair of those as a gift hahahaha. Incredible video, nice work! I may keep an eye for edge+ sales and finally have my first super shoe, and a special Asics super, to use on my 1st marathon in June
Have no idea which I am - but I generally preferred the Sky+ for distances over the Edge+. Sky+ felt bouncy and cushioned where the Edge+ felt a bit “flat” (meaning NOT super bouncy or springy). But a lot of reviewers are suggesting that people who liked the Sky+ in the old shoe might now prefer the Edge+. A conundrum for us all for sure. Darn it, ASICS, why can’t you just make up our minds for us? :). Great review though. Love the content!
Excellent review, thanks. I'll try both at the Asics store, but I think the Edge is for me, high cadence and stride length increases the faster I go (marathon pace 4:10 per km).
Have the sky + and always wondered if the edge would be better suited, so think after this it is going to be the edge!! Thanks ❤️
These shoes are nothing like the previous ones.
ASICS killing it on style! Both are beautiful. I’m sad I have no reason to buy a pair.
I have only worn and tested both by walking in a store so I'm very lost on which shoe to get.
But you mentioned that you're more of a heel striker and you love the Edge more. Which now made me decided to get the Edge Paris soon!
Definitely a cadence runner and I will try the edge..sent back the older version cos the forefoot cushioning went flat about 3mi of a 10k race..as a forefoot striker with high arches and narrow foot runner the forefoot cushioning is always the deal breaker for me..
Yea my cadence is around 190 so definitely coming back here tomorrow and buying the edge paris through the affiliate link 😊
Both of these seem much better value then Alpha Fly 3. Will probably go for the Edge.
To be honest, I am not that crazy about the black and yellow...but I am getting them. Lol. Can't wait to see future colors.
Thank you for the comparison review. I picked up a pair of the Metaspeed Edge Paris. I plan to do my 2 hr 35 min long run in them this week as a trial for possibly running in them for my April 13 Marathon. I have not owned any of the previous Metaspeed Edge and Sky versions.
How does shoe feels?
@@markoljustina Unfortunately, I had to send these back. During my first run in them (~17 Miles), I developed a "hot spot" on my left forefoot just behind my pinky toe and my right ankle over-pronated. I was very disappointed. May have just been the pair I received?
@@kennethmonroe6939 ok and tnx for feedback; better luck in new purchase
Your review pretty much ended my infatuation over the Alphafly and the Cielo X1; I would be pining for the Metaspeed until they drop in my region. The soonest, the better.
Agreed. The Alphafly is impossible to buy unless you want to pay over RRP and I'm not sure it will perform any better than these shoes. Only time will tell.
Great review Emily , looking forward to the latest edge since I actually got along well with the edge+ as my 5k to half racer, but yes did find the foam firm. You feel the new ffturbo + is a bit softer , but not mushy? Hoping for that and still retaining that explosiveness the edge+ had.
Not mushy!
@@RunLikeHeller awesome thanks! Ordering at midnight lol
When I run fast I’m a stride runner, at slower(fast) paces I’m not. Maybe I should get both? 😉
Great review as always.
I always see most outsole wear in my shoes on the lateral edge an inch or so forward from the heel, but I then roll onto my midfoot for full footstrike. I’m not a pronator but sounds otherwise similar to your gait. Very high cadence avg 180 and up, so clearly this Edge version would be the one between these two for me. However, like others, even a comparison between the Edge Paris and v3 of the Endorphin Pro would be helpful. I’d been planning to try v4 and expecting to like them since I’m hearing they’re even better than the 3’s if anything. But Boston is coming quickly so I’d love to know if I should consider the new Edge. Eg, is it noticeably less stable than the EP3? If you do have a chance to test the 4 and compare, I see 2 others comments asking the same. Great review Emily🎉
I have the Sky Paris now and did a 10mile temporun in 1:02hours yesterday. They feel pretty unique to me in a good way. The more effort you put in striking your forefoot the more you get out of it. After the running my body felt great. It feels like a shoe for elites.
Otherwise as an alphafly you sometimes feel like you actually doing nothing and the shoe works even with sloppy technique.
I think they help become a better runner
I'm getting one just not sure which works for me and no local stores carry them.
From the reviews it seems the edge might be for me.
Thank your for another nice review. Since the Metaspeed sky+ was bit to to firm for me, can you tell which of these two new paris is more cushioning ?
Sky+ feels like more
Great reviews on both!! Please give us some more info on the toe space availability …🙏
Great reviews, thanks. Sky+ was the best 5K shoe I ever ran in. Wouldn't dream of taking it to the marathon. Is it possible that Edge is friendlier to heel strikers and that Sky is more suited to forefooters? I'm not sure I buy the stride/cadence thing, as much as I like the Metaspeed line.
.
Definitely possible!
Thought I was set on the Endorphin Pro 4, which is probably the right shoe for me. The Edge has thrown a bit of a curve in there. I'd love to see a comparison.
Same
Maybe you’ll get one!
I'm a high-cadence runner and I would love to try these back to back and feel the difference in them. The concept on the gen-1 was very interesting, but the "meh" reviews and high price kept me away. I LOVE the colors though--Child of the 80's, visual cripple, etc...
I just ordered the Edge Paris. ASICS has a discount program called Sheer ID for medical, military, first responders and you get 25% off so they were $187.50 shipped.
Having tried the Sky+ and Edge+, I’ve concluded that the Sky is engineered for a mid-forefoot striker - the bounce is maximized when landing on that area and heel striking feels rough - and I think the Edge is more forgiving for heel-strikers. That said, the foam in both those shoes was way too firm for me as an average runner. Good to hear the Paris versions are a bit softer and bouncier.
It's feels alive.
An interesting thought about the Sky's arch, Emily. Like you, I have high arches (though my foot width is average - C) and I like a prominent arch support in a racer. For example, the Alphafly 1 works great for me in that regard. Yet, I infer that you like the Edge more in part due to its lower arch support (or do I misread you?).
I am a stride runner - yes, my cadence increases with speed but generally I run 165-170 at a moderate pace (I'm 5-11), hitting 180 only at high speeds. Generally, shorter-legged runners depend more on cadence (though there are exceptions).
You don’t misread me! I think that’s part of why I like the edge a little more
I guess I can get both because I don’t know if I’m cadence or stride. When I go fast I increase both
Emily, you are beautiful.....on the outside AND inside!
I'm pretty sure I'm a cadence runner. That is because I easily can compare myself to other runners that are running slow or fast near me, and they do a lot less strides than me. Sometimes, I think that my cadence is a bit too high for the speed I'm running in my slow long runs, LOL . Well, but that never bored me besides that my glutes tend to be sore sometimes, and I almost never get sore on my calves or quads.
Team Edge!!! Me too.
🤝🏼
I would think that people who heel strike would like the edge.. since it rolls you through the strike.. while if you forefoot strike. You just want a bouncy compressive platform under the balls of your feet. No rolling plate or shaping required
I've been enjoying the Superblast does the edge have the same ride and feel?
More aggressive for sure
I kinda forefoot strike and i want more cushion when i land
so ill go with sky paris
What's the best shoe for a runner like me who spends 6/8 hours on my feet finishing a marathon, I'm a midfoot striker
Probably the edge in this case!
Heel striker and only running 5 and 10Ks, would the sky be better? Seems Edge is for longer distance but being a heel striker it may be better?
Edge can be worn for shorter distances too. I preferred it as more of a heel striker
Just received metaspeed edge. Haven`t run in them yet. Don`t like the insoles. Inside of midsole arch going to cause a hotspot. I am going to either have to get wider shoes or add thin insole to cover hard edge on inside of arch.
I did think I would have an issue with the arch but I suprisingly didn’t
Maybe the edge will be better for those who land mid/heel and the sky for mid/forefoot strikers.
I think you are right, only found a few test reviews where this was not the case, generally all others fit this.
How does the Metaspeed Edge Paris (5 mm drop) compare to the Saucony Endorphin Pro 3 (8 mm drop)?
Need more testing in the new pro but will get back to ya
I was asking about the Pro 3 (three) in anticipation of its soon going on sale. :-)
Your links are broken it appears, or maybe they will work tomorrow when these shoes actually launch?
Oh no! Will check
Fixed!!
What you think about half marathon? Between the sky plus vs sky Paris? Which one should I go to?
Paris
Thanks
For a marathoner who doesn't care about PB's and takes time to finish a marathon what Paris can you recommend?
Honestly you can’t go wrong with either!
Hi! I run long distances, marathon and halfs. I have never run on Asics only Nikes. I’m 6’2” and my cadence is around 170 avg. My half marathon pace is 7:50 and marathon 8:40 l.
Which shoe do you suggest me edge Paris or sky Paris? Thank you in advance!!
I’m not really sure which one to recommend based on cadence or stride but I have really been enjoying the Edge! If you like a little more cushion in the forefoot tho, I’d say go with Sky
@@RunLikeHeller thank you!
I cant decided on what pair to order 🙈 some people are saying the sky is better if you're a faster runner and some are saying the edge.....what one would be best suited for a 5k/10k? My Cadence is around 180-200
I can really only speak from my experience but I like the edge better!
@@RunLikeHeller I bought the sky but i think i made the wrong choice 🤦♂️
@@RunLikeHeller but saying that when i do want to run faster i don't really increase my cadence more my stride so maybe once I'm injury free i will give the shoes a proper test....Still sound good all the same
I'm confused. I thought the sky was the cadence shoe and the edge was for the strider?
I think they flip flopped them or something. I read the descriptions off their spec sheet so I know I didn’t mix them up
Does edge paris support runners with high arch foot?
It felt better for me in the arch and I have high arches
@@RunLikeHeller thanks hellen :) I just bought it today the metaspeed EDGE PARIS :) we have the same arc :) another reason why I bought it because I remember this.
I’m a beginner both these shoes sound too advanced for me. I’ve been running for 2 years and I just did my first 5k on thanksgiving. I’m doing 2 more this spring. I think I should stick to the cumulus 25 and ride 17. I did pick up the novablast 4 for a faster shoe but these look a little much lol
It’s a lot of shoe but I am a believer that anyone of any skill level can wear any shoe!
When does the link go live? Midnight?
Nah it’s messed up I gotta fix it
Fixed!!!
@@RunLikeHeller thank you!!!! Just bought em!!
I wear a size 14 but have worn a 13 in the sacouny speed 3...will these be a tight fit in 13?
I’d go with whatever the shoe size is that you wear most frequently. If fits pretty true to size and I think if you try to go on the smaller side it may be uncomfortable
@@RunLikeHeller maybe one day ASICS will go higher than Men's 13 in their Metaspeed line 😮💨
Thanks for the review the sky is it similar to bondi 7 toe box area room? Thanks and hi ruby
Little wider!
Thank you @@RunLikeHeller
Hmmm, im thinking about the Asixs edge Paris or Diadora Gara Carbon
So this is doomed for low archs?
No I wouldn’t say doomed!!! I just really noticed it in the sky but the edge not as much
@@RunLikeHeller Thank you. Ill try the Edge. If it doesnt work out EP4 felt great so Ill get that instead.
Which shoe would you pick if you are a heel striker?
Edge
I’m supinator land on outside of foot which would you recommend I have a cadence of 187-202 which would u suggest
Your a cadence runner duuuhhh
Which of them has the closest feel to superblast?
Probably Sky
Once again, I liked your impressions about the new versions of Assics super sneakers, but despite you saying that there has been an evolution, the information that they are softer destroys my interest in these models. There has been an increasing tendency for brands to increase softness, which undoubtedly improves comfort, but worsens performance and keeping pace. And this is not noticeable in short training sessions or sprints. It is on longer distances that this softness weighs down the feet, requiring more strength to maintain the stride. And the sole also appears to have been kept the same as the previous version, with a minimal and even non-existent amount of rubber where it would be necessary, making the level of wear absurd.
Just started the vid. If she doesn’t say “I have a very n-ah-rrow foot” I’m deleting the app.
EDIT: We’re good
😂
I heard that the edge feels like the vaporfly and the sky like the alpha fly...What do you think about it?
Hmmmm it’s hard for me to compare anything to the alphafly honestly. But that’s an interesting comparison
