THIS CHANGED WHAT I THINK ABOUT ASICS SUPER SHOES! - Metaspeed Sky Paris Review

[@MyFatAdaptedLife]

For years I had been invested in the Boston shoe companies that had gotten me to the Boston Marathon every year (NB, Puma-US, Reebok, Saucony, Topo), and I ignored every other shoe companies. One day, while walking by a running shoe store, I noticed through the window that they had both the Sky Paris and the Edge Paris. For giggles, I asked to try on both pairs. I figured, why not see what all the hype about cadence runner versus stride runner was all about. Anyhoo, I ran around the block in both. Then I ran with the Edge on one foot and the Sky on the other. Then I switched feet. After this experiment, the Sky Paris felt the best for me. Long story short, I used the Sky Paris for the next race and ran yet another BQ. Moreover, my performance metrics showed that I had worked with less effort for the same gain. So, great shoe.

[@DaveTheRunner]

That’s awesome mate, great idea trying them both out. Congrats on the BQ 🎉

[@MyFatAdaptedLife]

@@DaveTheRunner Cheers, Dave.

Love that you give the caveat upfront that everyone is different when it comes to shoes but here’s what you experienced. Great stuff

[@DaveTheRunner]

Too many reviewers out there hyping up shoes that don’t work for everyone.

[@bloatedtonydanza7798]

Thx for keeping it real bro. Your disclosure, your bpm on every set and your heavy breathing made me believe your effort. A lot of guys in here they run 22km every day and then they record them after the run and they are fresh as come out of the shower.

[@DaveTheRunner]

You’re welcome 🤝🏼 Was genuinely wrecked after that session 😂

[@hansrajmishra3762]

Would you recommend doing a marathon in them? Ive done all my training in superblast 2 last 10 weeks. Mara in 13 days.

[@DaveTheRunner]

I would recommend trying them in training before making that decision

[@EduardoHenrique-nd1ro]

Hey, Dave! How are you doing? Another amazing video! Thanks for sharing, mate! Cheers from Brazil!

[@DaveTheRunner]

Cheers bro 🔥

[@adrianm.7800]

My second favorite shoe after the Endo Elite!

[@DaveTheRunner]

Same I reckon

[@afroman7010]

What app are you using to track the working and rest time?

[@DaveTheRunner]

I use my coros watch where I program the workouts in

[@ryangonzaga2874]

Have you tried Edge Paris? I seem to pick those for sessions/intervals while I use the Sky Paris for long run with workout in between.

[@DaveTheRunner]

I haven’t tried the edge. That’s pretty cool you have them both! Must really love them haha

[@ryangonzaga2874]

I do, by far the best racing shoes i’ve tried. Tho i have yet to try the Alphafly 3 but im just loving these Paris editions, i might just stick with them. Edge Paris feels like a higher stack Vaporfly 2. Last week I just got the Adios Pro 3(my first adidas shoe), i really love them, feels way more comfortable than Sky Paris but the drawback is that they’re heavier. I might just stick to the Sky Paris for GoldCoast marathon. 😅

[@AnthonyZafiris]

Great review. Alphafly 3 and Endorphin Elite still seem to be the consensus top marathon super shoes but Paris definitely in the mix.

[@DaveTheRunner]

Agreed, the endo elite is just such a great shoe, for me it tops them all

[@markoljustina]

@@DaveTheRunnerwhat is the difference between Elite and Sky? Or what is better on Sky?

[@DaveTheRunner]

@@markoljustina elite is wider and more stable. For me personally I feel the elite is a bit more protective for the longer stuff.

[@markoljustina]

@@DaveTheRunner hmm ok🤔and thank you a lot❤️ i have Sky in box (first ASICS shoe ever) for Chicago (close to 3 hours); must run in them now😀… i will survive ☝🏻

[@DaveTheRunner]

@@markoljustina nice mate! Good luck on your run, you will love them 🤝🏼

[@NortheastRuns]

Thanks for the video. How do you think the Sky Paris stacks up against the Vaporfly 2 for a road 5k?

[@markoljustina]

VF2 is outdated shoe

[@DaveTheRunner]

It's lighter and punchier IMO

[@NortheastRuns]

@@DaveTheRunner Oh wow. I thought the Vaporfly 2 was as aggressive as they get. Thanks.

[@MR-wh5wp]

You like these over the Saucony pro4?

[@DaveTheRunner]

I do

[@TheBsheep]

@@DaveTheRunner Yea so do I. I actually think last year pro3's are better than pro4's. The pro4's are solid but aren't as good as the aforementioned.

[@samuelhickstube]

Any idea on super shoes for people with flat feet? Or do people just push through in neutral shoes come race day?

[@DaveTheRunner]

I would recommend the saucony endorphin elite possible, I’ve got quite flat feet and they feel good

[@samuelhickstube]

@@DaveTheRunner did you use a different inner sole? I tried the endorphin speeds as a trainer and wasn’t confident in that pair

[@DaveTheRunner]

@@samuelhickstube the elites aren’t similar to the speeds. They have their own feel and shape

[@thebullfighter6733]

I bought the edge paris, its fine. I have about 70ks on the track with them. Im just a little faster in my pbs than you are, so were more or less similar runners. personally I much prefer both the vaporfly 3 and alphafly 3 to this shoe. Was leaning on this shoe for Boston and the upcoming marathon season. I absolutely hated the AF2 (blister city for me) so I nearly passed on the AF3 and thank god I didnt. I also found that I had just a little rubbing on the medial part of my toe in the edge paris.

[@DaveTheRunner]

I wish I got the edge, seems like it would work better for me and my running 🏃🏻 AF3 has just a nicer ground feel for me and I like the arch wasn’t as bad. Good luck for Boston! I have a mate who’s also running.

[@janschepers879]

Why not using the sky Paris for a marathon. I ran my first marathon a month ago in the sky Paris and it went very well. Very lovely shoes.

[@DaveTheRunner]

That’s just for me personally. They are a bit narrow. Otherwise a great shoe

[@andrewstorm8240]

However no supply in market yet

[@DaveTheRunner]

Sold out everywhere 🥲

[@liamhockey9189]

Wasnt that impressed personality, was running in these and Deviate nitro elite 3 and much prefered the puma shoe. Feel like i maybe wasnt putting enough force into the sky paris to get the most out of it even at 5km pace. Was however a light comfy shoe jyst didnt feel like i got much back from shoe.

[@DaveTheRunner]

I can see where you’re coming from

[@davidg9120]

These did not feel good for me as they were just too unstable.

[@DaveTheRunner]

I can see where you are coming from. When I’m jogging I feel this

[@tadejdanev5030]

virtually nowhere to be found, out of stock in EUROPE :(

[@DaveTheRunner]

Same for Australia 🥲

[@rainerblessing923]

They are available in yellow/black on the Asics site. I got mine two weeks ago.
