PositiveThree testers, with mileage from about 25 miles up to roughly 100 km, covering track reps, tempo runs and a fast 20-miler. Very light, springy and energetic, easy to hold paces in, with a breathable, true-to-size upper and good grip. The laces take effort to lock down, one found the forefoot slappy, and it is still unstable for many, so it suits race days and race-pace sessions rather than everyday training.

PositiveFirst run in the Metaspeed Edge Tokyo blew them away: true to size, light breathable upper, and bouncy foam that firms up nicely once running.

Positive9.5/10, ASICS' best road racer yet and his go-to race-day shoe: featherweight, highly breathable, with grippy ASICSGRIP. The synthetic-suede tongue is uncomfortable and doesn't relieve lace pressure, and he feels it's less suited to forefoot strikers.

PositiveTrampoline-like rebound and propulsion beyond the Adios Pro 4, and LT pace feels easier. Ideal for a half or 10K. For the full marathon he picks the Pro 4, as the rebound may tire sub-3 hopefuls after 30 km. Breathable mesh gets cold in winter.
