ASICS Performance Metarise 2

The Metarise™ 2 from Asics is specifically designed for volleyball players who operate in the outside and blocking positions and benefit from explosive jumping power during gameplay.

Thanks to an innovatively designed midsole with a strongly curved toe area and a carbon fiber-reinforced plastic plate, the approach, take-off, and stability are optimally supported. This construction promotes dynamic upward movements while providing the necessary control.

The FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO material used offers powerful propulsion with a gentle landing due to its cushioning and energy-transferring properties. Additionally, the foam is made up of about a quarter of bio-based materials, which is a plus for sustainability.

The upper material has also been revamped: the integrated MONO-SOCK™ structure provides extra support in the ankle area and adapts smoothly to the foot shape—ideal for quick direction changes and secure landings.

Technological highlights of the model include:

MONO-SOCK™ Fit: Wraps around the foot like a sock and reliably stabilizes the ankle during lateral movements and landings.

Energy-Lock System: A flexible mesh material with a rebound effect and a supportive inner insert keeps the foot securely in position even during sudden movements.

RISETRUSS™ Element: Reinforces the midfoot area to redirect rotational forces and channel jump energy upward.

Reinforced plastic plate with carbon: Distributes pressure evenly across the forefoot and helps generate more vertical jumping power.

FF BLAST™ PLUS ECO Foam: Offers a balanced mix of energy return and cushioning with an environmentally friendly approach.
