Asics Metaspeed Ankle Socks 2.0

ASICS MetaSpeed Ankle Socks 2.0

The ASICS MetaSpeed Ankle Socks 2.0 are performance running socks designed around breathability, sweat management and a secure feel inside your running shoes. Finished in Aquarium, they combine a Washi paper yarn blend through the sole and toe with an upper mesh and grip yarn, all in a lower ankle length profile.

The sole and toe use a Washi paper yarn blend, chosen for its moisture absorption and desorption properties. This helps manage sweat around areas of the foot where moisture can build up during running.

For runners, that means the sock is designed to deal with moisture at foot level rather than relying solely on ventilation through the upper.

The upper section incorporates mesh for additional airflow. This complements the moisture management properties of the Washi yarn blend and helps create a more breathable construction during running.

ASICS uses grip yarn to provide moderate grip when the foot makes contact with the ground. In practical terms, this is designed to help create a more secure connection between your foot, sock and running shoe as you move through your stride.

The ASICS MetaSpeed Ankle Socks 2.0 are best for runners looking for technical ankle length socks with a focus on moisture management, breathability and moderate grip. They provide the same performance focused approach in a lower profile for runners who prefer less coverage above the ankle.
