ASICS Metaspeed Ray

The next frontier in the super shoe wars is weight, and ASICS has just unleashed its latest flagship. And at just 4.5oz, it’s one of the lightest shoes I’ve ever tested. This is the Metaspeed Ray, and it’s time to take it for a run.

disclosures: ASICS sent me these shoes to review, so I did not have to pay for them. Some product and run footage used in this review was shot during the Metaspeed launch event in Tokyo in May 2025. My travel and accommodations to attend that launch event were hosted by ASICS. I was also recently embedded with ASICS as I covered the World Championships Marathons in September 2025. My travel and accommodations to attend those events were also hosted by ASICS.
As far as this review video goes, no one is paying me to make this video or to include their brand in this video. No one had a chance to preview any of my footage or my thoughts before this video went up on YouTube.

Thanks for watching! Leave a comment to let me know you stopped by!
