Our Verdict
ASICS METASPEED EDGE PARIS
ASICS METASPEED EDGE TOKYO
The ASICS METASPEED EDGE TOKYO is a significant upgrade over the ASICS METASPEED EDGE PARIS. The TOKYO is lighter, softer, and bouncier, while also providing better cushioning plus greater stability. The PARIS has a firmer ride with slightly more outright snap. Most runners should get the EDGE TOKYO; choose the EDGE PARIS if you specifically prefer the firmer ride or find it at a steep discount.
