“the Ray only has FF Leap foam in its mid sole along with a tiny carbon plate, probably to provide some stability. So, just at first glance, I thought, okay, the Ray is where it's at... But, I'm not quite sure if that's the case.”

“You could get any of the Meta Speed shoes. Those are also both great. I know people are going to ask why aren't those on the list? This is a superior shoe, the Meta Speed Ray to those, but those are also both great. I also just kind of got fatigued with them.”

“Now, with the way that the Metaspeed Sky fits in is it does away with the FF TURBO BLAST layer altogether. It just has the FF BLAST material.”

“very fun shoe. I mean, one of the more fun super shoes on the market. Incredibly light, incredibly bouncy, very soft, but you got to like that because it does come with a little bit of instability”

“the Ray is completely different from the Sky and the Edge. If those two are twins, the Ray is like the longlost cousin. It's the lightest super shoe I've ever worn. And the upper is so thin that I pretty much feel the wind ripping right through it.”

“I prefer this shoe. I am mystified by the lightweight of this shoe, and I really enjoy just how much I'm moving the foam with each step.”

“The brand is quietly launching a new super shoe, the Meta Speed Ray, which apparently is like a full ounce lighter than the Tokyo, is using all ATPU foam in its midsole and is still making its way to North America.”

“I think that the ASICS Metaspeed Ray delivers that and I enjoy that much more than the very pingy, dense, responsive nature of the Evo 2. And so I'm preferring that shoe and I'm also preferring the price of that one as it comes in at $300.”

“I'd also say it's worth looking at the AS6 Metaspeed Ray Tokyo and potentially the Mazuno Hyperwart Pure. two shoes that not quite as light as this”

“sits beneath the Meta Speed Ray, a new hyper lightweight shoe that has a very bouncy and like I say, lightweight design. Quite soft shoe around that's a little bit more expensive than both the Sky Tokyo and the Edge Tokyo”

“This shoe, the Meta Speed Ray, this is essentially the sky stripped down and really pushed about as far as it can possibly go. This is a full FFA midsole with this tiny little carbon fiber 4-foot plate.”

“I love the shoe. I've always been a little bit scared of it because it is quite soft, but it's very straight race here today. I think it's obviously unbelievable. It's the lightest shoe I've tested, even lighter than the Pro Evo 2. Really bouncy, really fast.”

RadDadBodTV17K subscriberspositive

“The underfoot feels more like the Meta Speed Ray to me. Um, the Meta-Peed Ray, the compression of the ATPU foam, that FF Leap is insane. Like there is so much forefoot compression in the shoe, and that's what really kind of rebounds and propels you forward.”

“The Meta Speed Ray is a softer shoe than the Valkyrie Elite 2, I do feel like because it is so neutral and it requires you to kind of work your foot in ways that I think a lot of our feet aren't used to working anymore”
