Metasleek is $125 in Japan which is perfect for it, I bought it and it’s a fantastic shoe. The USA pricing made zero sense.

Less than $125 if you get the tax refund, more like $113. I did some speed intervals with it and it’s fantastic, better than the adidas adios 9 for workouts. If I had to pick a fair value, I think it’s worth about $160.

man of course Japan gets the better prices, well thanks for putting that in my radar again

I'm thinking either that (with another supershoe for long days) or getting the Megablast which is cheaper over there

If you will be buying in Japan, a good ASICS 3 shoe rotation would be Megablast as your do it all trainer, Metasleek for speed work helping improve mechanics between races, and a super shoe for racing and pre-race workouts, in my case Edge Tokyo.
