Great!

This ASICS “concept shoe” features for the first time several never-before-released technologies. Without sparing the cost, the ASICS Metarun has ultra-superior quality, comfort, support, and stability that is not jarring. The sky-high cost is matched only by the performance as it is substantially better than any of ASICS’ most expensive and popular shoes.

Enjoy a comfortable ride to the outdoors

The outsole is covered with prominent treads that allow runners to take this very comfortable ride outdoors. Covering the outsole is the AHAR+ rubber, and it delivers enhanced durability, particularly in high-impact areas.

ASICS Metarun comfortable ride support

The AHAR technology is also utilized in the Gel Kayano 25, which is Asics' top-ranking stability shoe currently in the market.

The Guidance Line or the vertical cut from the heel to the forefoot helps with the flexibility of the shoe.

Asics Road Quarter | Metarun’s FlyteFoam delivers responsiveness

A new midsole foam in the FlyteFoam gives runners incredible responsiveness with the feel of much softer foam. This is 55% lighter than the industry-grade EVA with improved durability and resiliency.

ASICS Carbon Fiber Technology for excellent support

Located in the midsole, just beneath the arch, is a carbon fiber called the AdaptTruss. The technology keeps every run neutral as it is not performancely stiff and is only experienced once the runner rolls inward after some serious mileage or when the runner is an overpronator.

ASICS Metarun x-gel

On top of the AdaptTruss is the improved DUOMAX foam. It runs from the medial to the lateral side, and it enhances the stability of the shoe.

Finally, the X-Gel's new shape and placement give the ultimate shock-absorbing benefits at a greatly reduced weight.

Asics Road Quarter | ASICS Metarun offers flexibility and comfort

The synthetic jacquard mesh has the perfect blend of flexibility and structure. It means that runners have natural flex in the upper and stiffness in the right areas. The result is an upper that hugs the foot in comfort and security.

ASICS Metarun mesh

A part of the ASICS logo acts as an performancelay that delivers a strong midfoot hold. Going performance to both sides of the ankle is an external heel counter that keeps the heel in place. This secure hold is enhanced by memory foam.
