Our Verdict
ASICS METASPEED EDGE TOKYO
adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5
The ASICS METASPEED EDGE TOKYO is a better choice for racing than the adidas Adizero Adios Pro 5, particularly for shorter races. It's slightly lighter, returns more energy at the heel, and runners who prefer a firm, direct forefoot will find it appealing. Its forefoot cushioning also holds up better over longer efforts. The adidas is a good alternative if you want a softer landing and a slightly more stable feel, thanks to its wider platform.
