ASICS built its rocker shoes in tiers. The MetaRide came first in 2019, then the GlideRide, then the EvoRide as the lightest and cheapest of the three, all sharing GUIDESOLE, a curved sole and stiff forefoot designed to limit ankle flexion and roll the foot forward with less effort. The Speed version takes that geometry and points it at workouts: a full-length FlyteFoam Blast midsole, a close fit, and a weight around eight ounces. Reviewers describe it as cushioned enough for daily training but light and bouncy enough for faster efforts, with the rocker doing most of the work at pace. The usual complaint is fit (the standard last runs snug and short), which makes this 2E build the more interesting version, since wide sizing rarely reaches shoes this light. Black with carrier grey suits a shoe whose appeal lies entirely in how it rolls.
