Designed with 50 year has-been's in mind and a drive for making the best game-day grilling shoe, ASICS and the ASICS Institute of Sport Science introduce MetaRun. Adapting and contouring to your ever increasing weight, MetaRun is built using the latest ASICS exclusive technologies providing you with the best ever shoe for pairing equally badly with any pastel polo shirt your wife says looks nice. Experience it to believe it. Introducing five new technologies: anti-cankle chafing, spilt ketchup resistance, potential-affair repellance, Meta-mucil, and X-Growback. Weight you don't care. Heel Height: you don't care. Forefoot Height: you don't care.
FIFT.
If they brought back the Gel Lyte I'd be happy.
I can't wait to pair these with a pair of khakis and a collared shirt and venture into the suburbs.

I was going to say a pair of khaki cargo shorts and black socks but yeah, you beat me to the punchline.

And a fanny pack to match.
At this point, I believe that Asics is actually trying to make ugly shoes.
I’ll be able to pick up those mall walking babes in these things.
Is Steph Curry helping design shoes for Asics now?

Furtive couplings with married guys...
I'll be sportin my dorckers and black socks !!!
With the carbon plate it's probably supposed to be taking on the Nike 4%, but it does look like a New Balance mall walking shoe. Those aren't even quirky ugly, they're just super conventional looking ugly.

I'm not on trial here.
The maximum I will pay for a quality pair of shoes is $69. Most times, it means I have to wear an older model. But so what! A good pair of running shoes usually lasts four months at the most. You don't have to pay more than $69 for a good pair of running shoes.

Hey, they're $20 off regular price!!!
lol 8.9 oz, everything above 7 oz feels like bricks attached to my legs.
I just don't understand why Asics come up with these sh*** heavy shoes when they actually had made a perfect running shoe few years back - 5.9 oz Gel Hyperspeed - but withdraw it from market due to unknown reasons. When I went to Cardiff HM champs last year this was the shoe that every second sub 75 runner wore. Since then I have bought all the pairs I could find even used ones.

I wish I had done this when I was younger. I learned how to do this 5 years ago.

So if your absolute favorite shoes from the last 5 years were suddenly brought back at $70, you wouldn't buy them?
