ASICS says

The METASPEED™ EDGE TOKYO shoe is our pinnacle racing product, designed for cadence-style runners who are looking to start fast and finish faster. Runners wearing these shoes will be able to increase their speed by increasing number of strides and conserve energy with each step.

The newly designed FF LEAP™ foam technology is super lightweight and bouncy. It's strategically positioned in the midsole's top layer to help provide more cushioning and a higher energy return. The bottom layer of the midsole implements FF TURBO™ PLUS cushioning. This configuration enhances the foam's responsive properties while creating better stability so your heel doesn't sink at mid-stance.

Thanks to a carbon plate, runners wearing these shoes will be able to conserve more energy while maintaining their pace at the later stages of the race. This property will also help you to kick-through the 30km wall.
