Who should buy the asics x kiko kostadinov wmns gel korika classic red baltic jewel+
The Metaspeed Edge+ from ASICS is a great buy for runners who want a:
- carbon-plated running shoe Upcoming ASICS Gel Kayano Gore-Tex Pack
- responsive and lightweight racing flat that's ready for tempo training and competitions
Who should NOT buy it
To trim down weight as much as possible, the asics x kiko kostadinov wmns gel korika classic red baltic jewel+'s upper is very very thin, which makes it scratchy. If you want comfort to the max without added weight, you might want to look into the OG ASICS Metaspeed Sky.
And with its £250 price tag, there's no denying that the Metaspeed Edge+ is on the pricier side. If you want to save a few more bucks, we advise you to stick with the older version—the Metaspeed Edge.
Metaspeed Edge+ vs. Metaspeed Edge
Still suitable for cadence runners (or runners who take more steps), the asics x kiko kostadinov wmns gel korika classic red baltic jewel+ features some minor yet very critical changes:
- having more foam for a springier and more cushioned ride, especially for marathons
- a wider platform that flares out in the heel and forefoot for enhanced stability
- a repositioned carbon-fibre plate for a snappier toe-off
- (spoiler) it's heavier because of the added foam, going from 190 grammes/6.7 ounces to 210 grammes/7.4 ounces

If you want a shoe that embodies speed, the Metaspeed Edge+ is what you need.
The addition of more Flyte Foam Turbo midsole makes the shoe feel even faster than the original Edge. It's almost as if the shoe wanted us to keep going.
High energy return aside, the shoe also has a snappy toe spring. The shoe actually bounced back on our sprints!
Velvety smooth transitions
The shoe has a rocker design that makes the heel-to-toe transitions smooth and seamless.
Gains weight but it doesn't show on the run
Although it gains some grammes, the Metaspeed Edge+ from ASICS at 210 grammes/7.4 ounces in US men's 9 remains a lightweight shoe. For reference, here are the average weights of the following in a US men's size 9:
- Race shoes - 214 grammes/7.5 ounces
- asics gel pulse 11 zapatillas de running RSCAS
- Super shoes (a.k.a highly cushioned + plated racers) - 210 grammes/7.4 ounces
Now ready for the marathons
Although the shoe gains a few more grammes, we see it as a welcome change. That's because it actually addresses the past version's lack of cushioning which prevented it from becoming a full-on marathon shoe.
Compared to the original Edge, the Edge+ gains a few millimetres of cushion in both the heel (+1.7 mm) and the forefoot (+1.6 mm).
This helped the Metaspeed Edge+ become a true super shoe. Not only does it run faster, it also keeps our legs and feet better protected on longer efforts.
Steady and ready with the Metaspeed Edge+
To give you a clear picture, the Edge+ feels like a more stable version of the Vaporfly Next%. And this is thanks to its wider platform and flaring in the heel and forefoot.
Measuring the sole width of both shoes, the Edge+ clearly has a wider base than the Nike Vaporfly Next%: 3.1 mm wider in the forefoot and 2.4 mm in the heel.
It's also complemented by the stiffness of the carbon plate and firmness of the midsole, keeping the foot supported from mile one to the last.
However, this also poses an issue for short runs because it's rather uncomfortable. On top of this, the midfoot has a narrowed-down design. So if you go slow or switch to heel striking, there is a risk of your foot arch feeling like it hangs off the side.

There's no doubt; the upper is 11/10 secure. The mesh upper is not excessively stretchy; it just hugs the foot nicely and snugly. However, you might not want to go sockless in this shoe. Because the upper is very thin; it feels scratchy.
The thin nature of this shoe's mesh keeps the feet nice and fresh, no matter how warm it gets.
No slips in this shoe
The sbtgdown is solid AF because the tongue and lacing system work really well together. We never had to lace sbtg the shoe because it holds onto the foot with utmost security as is!
Runs long, lasts long
The outsole appears to be quite durable on the ASICS Edge+. After 30 hard miles in the shoe, there's still no significant wear!

Traction action
Durability aside, the outsole is also ready to bite. Even on dirt roads, it provides a confidence-inspiring grip.
It's a splurge
On average, super shoes cost £210 a pair. And although plated racers are going in the direction of the asics x kiko kostadinov wmns gel korika classic red baltic jewel+ (£250) in terms of price, we still find it a tad expensive.
