ASICS is today announcing not one but two high-performance running shoes that take the power of human-centric design to the next level.
In an industry first, METASPEED™ Sky and METASPEED™ Edge have each been scientifically designed with a distinct type of running style in mind. The new racing shoes help elite athletes to reach the top of their game, because they don’t have to adjust their running style to fit the shoe anymore; instead, ASICS is giving them high-performance shoes that support their running style.
The shoes were unveiled at ASICS’ Innovation Summit 2021 – the brand’s annual showcase of the very pinnacle of new performance sportswear. This year ASICS hosted its first ever, fully personalized experience, taking guests on an interactive virtual reality journey through the past, present and future of the ASICS story and its longstanding commitment to human-centric design. The experience culminated in the grand reveal of its ground-breaking METASPEED™ innovation – the latest era-defining moment in this journey.
METASPEED™: Taking human-centric design to the next level
METASPEED™ Sky and METASPEED™ Edge see ASICS set the standard for human-centric design in 2021.
The unique design story behind the two new shoes centers on a crucial insight by scientists at the ASICS Institute of Sport Science (ISS). They recognized that the type of shoes powering the world’s fastest were only favoring one type of runner – STRIDE runners – those with a long-loping gait with large periods spent airborne who increase their speed by extending their stride length.
ASICS research however showed that these shoes do not fully support elite athletes who prefer the second major running style – CADENCE, which features smaller steps made while hovering over the ground with minimal up and down motion. Crucially, these runners increase their speed by both extending their stride length and increasing the number of steps they take per minute.
The sports scientists at the ISS were able to measure that athletes perform better when running in shoes that are optimized for their running style. Addressing the challenge, ASICS has created the METASPEED™ Sky for STRIDE runners and METASPEED™ Edge for those with a CADENCE style – both specially optimized and proven to improve runner performance for each of the two major running styles [1] .
The launch of METASPEED™ Sky and METASPEED™ Edge means that runners will no longer having to adjust their running style to suit the shoe they’re wearing. With initial tests from ASICS already showing the METASPEED™ innovation could help reduce the number of steps for a runner to finish a marathon by over 1.2% [2] , it will give all elite runners the opportunity to reach peak performance.
Kenichi Harano, Executive Officer and Senior General Manager at the ASICS Institute of Sport Sciencesaid: “The METASPEED™ journey began with the simple insight that athletes run faster in shoes are that specially tailored for them. From here – we got to work. Following a lengthy, meticulous research and development process, METASPEED™ Sky and METASPEED™ Edge were born. Optimized for the two most prevalent running styles in elite runners, they are both at the very pinnacle of running innovation. Our initial tests are already showing them to have an impact on the times of the elite runners’ we’ve been working with. That’s why we’re so excited to be unveiling them to the world today.”
Innovation Summit: YOUR LAB, your way
The shoes were announced at ASICS’ first ever fully personalized Innovation Summit. The experience centers on the creation virtual reality world, where every aspect – from the breeze in the trees, to the waves in the water – respond directly to the user’s biodata for a completely tailored experience.
In addition to a LAUNCH area where guests are able to get up close and personal with METASPEED™ and the story behind its creation, other key elements of the experience include:
BRAND LEGACY AREA – A virtual walkthrough that exhibits the defining milestones of ASICS’ commitment to personalized products and innovation throughout history. It begins with the unique design story behind the brand’s first ever basketball shoe, created in 1951 using suction cups, and goes right through to the modern day, showcasing how ASICS’ continued focus on human-centric design helped Sara Hall to her incredible second-place finish at the 2020 London Marathon.
TODAY AND TOMORROW – An opportunity for guests to get hands-on with the latest AI tech that is revolutionizing the present and shaping the future of sports performance. This includes:

President & Chief Operating Officer of ASICS, Yasuhito Hirota said: “At ASICS we are driven by our founding principle: we want to help everyone achieve a sound mind in a sound body through sport. At the heart of this philosophy is an unwavering belief in the power of human-centric design to create products that deliver the perfect balance of peak performance and protection for every kind of athlete. With the pandemic placing huge restrictions on competitive sport across the globe, this longstanding obsession of ours has become supercharged for 2021. This year’s Innovation Summit and launch of METASPEED™ stands as a symbol of our continued commitment to help elite athletes achieve their potential, while cementing ASICS’ status as a pioneer of innovation in the running sector.”
The METASPEED™ Sky will be available globally via the ASICS website and selected specialty retail stores from March 31, 2021. The METASPEED™ Edge will be available from June 4, 2021.

Global performance running lifestyle brand Saucony is excited to announce that the Peregrine 11 ST has been named Editor’s Choice in the Runner’s World Spring 2021 Shoe Guide. The Peregrine 11 ST is the mud-shedding, muck-loving model of the Peregrine11Collection, a triad of grippy, protective trail shoes that deliver both an aggressive and responsive ride. Named for the fastest bird on Earth, the Peregrine Collection includes the always capable Peregrine11 with grippy versatility to handle nearly every trail; the Peregrine11 ST for muddy, sloppy conditions; and the Peregrine11 GTX® with waterproof protection. The Peregrine11 Collection is available at saucony.com and select running specialty retailers globally.
In his review of the Peregrine 11 ST, Runner’s World test editor Jeff Dengate said, “What sets the ST apart is its muck-loving outsole and upper, which are built for a full send along swampy single track. The toothy lugs are 1.5mm longer, with more spacing between each to shed mud quickly, and the upper is switched to an abrasion-resistant mesh outfitted with quick lacing. To secure the shoe, just cinch the skinny bungee cords and stow them inside the tongue—there’s no fiddling with wet bunny ears. Plus, the entire shoe is cloaked in its own mud guard; if that’s not enough splatter protection, you’ll find additional loops to add your own gaiters.”
“The Peregrine was exceptional across the board,” said one Runner’s World tester, “wonderfully responsive and capable across deep mud and loose gravel to snow, with an amazing fit that needed none of my usual lacing tricks.”
“Slush, mud, snow, or muck: there are no limitations to the Peregrine 11 ST,” said Katie Pyle, product line manager for Saucony Trail. “Winning this award from Runner’s World speaks to the powerful momentum we continue to build in our trail category, creating a game-changing running experience for off-road runners everywhere. The Peregrine 11 ST is a clear result of the innovative and dirt-power spirit of the whole Saucony team and we are extremely proud of this prestigious recognition.”
About the Peregrine11 ST:Go off trail. Not off speed.
When the ground gets soft, the Peregrine 11 ST shines. Taking the responsive feel of the Peregrine 11, the ST (soft terrain) version is modified to excel in sloppy, muddy conditions. It’s equipped with deeper lugs, spaced out to dig in and shed mud fast. The rock plate on the Peregrine11 ST is enclosed for underfoot protection and to safeguard from mud. Up top, a debris-resistant mesh upper with 3D-printed overlays protects against trail hazards and is finished with a tight mesh shield over the tongue for a final measure of defense.
Multi-Award-Winning Heritage
Since the Peregrine’s original debut in Spring 2011, the franchise has now been named by Runner’s World as “Editor’s Choice” five times.

The Floatride Energy 3 features high performance lightweight and responsive Floatride Energy foam. Updates to the third version of Reebok’s award-winning running product include a revised midsole shape and a square knit upper material. The new midsole shape is designed to deliver a smooth ride for all types of runners with an engineered heel bevel and contoured forefoot shape. The square knit upper provides additional durability while remaining lightweight and breathable.
“This shoe was designed for the individual who tries to balance it all, but refuses to compromise when it comes to making time for their run. As a result, they are often lacing up their shoes long after the sun sets – or before it even rises,” said Emily Mullins, Director Product Float, Reebok. “As a fitness company it’s important that we’re creating products that help individuals train at their best – no matter the conditions or circumstances. For this particular shoe we wanted to deliver something that would allow individuals to train safely at any time of day. To do that, we utilized a 360-degree reflective midsole and reflective hits on the crosscheck side stripe.”
Runners are often forced to make tradeoffs when it comes to buying running shoes, and it’s Reebok’s mission within the running category to create products where they no longer have to choose. Floatride is about breaking stereotypes around what a running shoe can be and delivering premium product at an accessible price point.
The Reflective Forever Floatride Energy 3 will be available February 1st for $110 in men’s and women’s size on reebok.com
BOSTON, Mass. – January 13th, 2021 – Today, Reebok unveils the highly anticipated Nano X1, the official shoe of fitness. Designed to be the most supportive, comfortable, and versatile training shoe the brand has ever made, the Nano X1 is ready to take on and tackle any fitness demand thrown its way.
A silhouette born more than 10 years ago that was originally created to meet the unique demands of athletes within the box, Reebok has continually evolved the Nano franchise over time to adapt with the fitness landscape and service the growing needs of the wider wellness community. The Nano X1 is the most refined iteration of the popular training shoe, designed to be as versatile as today’s passionate fitness lover it was created for.
“Just like any great athlete who’s always looking to hit their next PR, we are not going to stop trying to set a new one either when it comes to creating great product. And we’re confident, the Nano X1 is our best training shoe yet,” said Tal Short, Reebok Senior Product Manager. “During a time when fitness is so critical to not just our physical, but more importantly, our mental well-being, we’re incredibly proud to be able to support the fitness community with a product that can help individuals and athletes of all levels train at their best.”
In celebration of its launch, Reebok has enlisted an elite collective of athletes, trainers, and leaders within the wellness community from around the world to bring to life the Nano X1’s ‘Official Shoe of Fitness,’ campaign. Here, partners ranging from Rich Froning Jr., fitness legend and 4 x Fittest Man on Earth, to Camille Kostek, an advocate for self-acceptance and former professional dancer, bring to life the Nano X1’s versatility through their own playful and dynamic “Official Shoe of” adaptions based on their unique fitness passions and training demands. Additional brand partners featured throughout the campaign include the likes of Chyna Cho, Terron Beckham, Lexie Brown, Haley Adams, Jason Khalipa, Taylor Rae Almonte, TJ Watt, Kristin Holte, Erin Maw, Kenta Seki, and more.
“Whether it’s putting in the work during an intense bootcamp or just having fun trying out the latest dance craze, Reebok’s new Nano X1 gives me the support I need,” said Camille Kostek. “I love how lightweight and comfortable it is for any type of exercise, yet stylish enough for all day wearing. In a time when I’m especially missing the in-person support I rely on from my favorite group fitness classes, it’s been the training partner I’ve needed to keep me motivated and feeling my best.”
Designed to be the official shoe of fitness, the Nano X1 fuses the comfort of a running shoe while maintaining the performance credentials of a superior training shoe in order to meet the demands of the modern-day fitness landscape. Whether it’s HIIT, bootcamp, cardio, dance, boxing, or functional training, the Nano X1 was engineered to perform.
Key details include:
Comfort: fuses Reebok’s Floatride Energy cushioning of a running shoe while maintaining the performance and stability of a training shoe
Speed: the sleek shape and design allow for maximum speed and runnability
Control: provides designed stability to support varied workouts
For the first time, the Nano will be available in multiple upper material options at launch – Flexweave Knit and Flexweave Grit – that consumers can choose from based on their individual training needs and preferences. The Reebok Nano X1 features Flexweave Knit, a soft yet strong, style-driven upper that consists of an all-new knitted material, providing max breathability; while the Reebok Nano X1 Flexweave Grit features an ultra-strong, lightweight and durable material that’s built to withstand the most extreme workouts.

A team of our leading designers and product developers worked closely with the adidas running community and testers to create the new ULTRABOOST 21 silhouette, which reimagines the original ULTRABOOST to deliver a bold new design combined with the latest in performance technology.
The core development in ULTRABOOST 21 is the redesign of the shoe’s torsion system. The new adidas LEP (‘Linear Energy Push’) provides a 15% increase in forefoot bending stiffness for a more responsive stride. This works alongside our proprietary midsole BOOST technology, which packs in 6% more BOOST through an exaggerated heel curve, providing runners with incredible energy return and comfort in every step.
We have always believed that through sport, we have the power to transform lives and ULTRABOOST 21 embodies its commitment to bring energy to people to drive positive change and self-betterment. Arriving at a time when cities around the world have been heavily disrupted by the coronavirus pandemic, running has continued to be a constant that has kept cities and communities moving.
A global study, commissioned by us, highlighted the power of running to aid positive transformation and improved physical and mental wellbeing in communities. Runners were shown to be 20% more likely than non-runners to experience increased energy levels, while over 40% of respondents that increased their running frequency, also said that they developed a more positive outlook on life. Over 1 in 3, meanwhile, identified the mental health benefits of running as one of their core motivating factors.
“ULTRABOOST has consistently been a unique and sensational blend of iconic design, revolutionary innovations, unparalleled performance and unique consumer experience. BOOST and PRIMEKNIT have created and elevated new industry standards, while PRIMEBLUE has set a new benchmark of sustainability and adidas LEP is setting new standards of performance. ULTRABOOST has always been a “first”, a ”pioneer”, delighting millions of worldwide users every day, winning their hearts and minds and changing the way they see and feel running.” Said Alberto Uncini Manganelli, General Manager/Senior Vice President, adidas Running.
