Oh my gosh guys thank you for putting out this video - everyone keeps coming at my neck about "plate position" and how you can only compare the sky Paris to the Alphafly 😂
Very pleased with the VF3. Bought all the big dogs and kept with the VF3. Feels comfortable, fast and squishy
Not tried the VF3 but don’t particularly like the feeling of the VF2 or the way it makes me run, just too aggressive although very fast. Got the Sky Paris, fantastic shoe. Everything I was hoping it would be. I’m a midfoot striker and definitely a cadence runner!
do U have link for discount's 😂
I have both shoes and they feel so different.
In the sky you need to be precise with your running form. But it’s absolutely amazing than, because you know you nailed it. You get more out of the shoe the more you put in. The 5MM
drop makes you run natural.
I would pick it for track miles and long distance running. If you’re a good runner you can use it for marathon.
In the Nike is softer and more foregiving. 8mm drop makes you lean more. The shoe does a lot of work and you get less feedback. This shoe shines at 5k to halfmarathon in my opinion. For marathon alphafly is better option.
Spot on, that’s what I think as well
Great review, and just goes to show how much of the feel is down to individual opinion! Kieran saying the Vaporfly is better when getting tired whereas Mike saying the Sky!
Im still struggling to decide whether to go with the Sky Paris or Alphafly 3 for Boston (UK) marathon this weekend 🤔
Just got sky and did a 10k - nice and easy will take it for the Brooklyn Half as opposed to my usual Pro 3. Also, I believe Kieran did a PB in the Manchester Marathon wearing the sky.
I was waiting for this comparison, I ran Manchester Marathon in VF3 didn’t feel I would have had enough time test the ASICS to try them. VF3 was good for marathon and softer than VF2 and just as light I wouldn’t have trusted the VF2 for 26.2. I have the pretty much similar durability issue with the VF3 with only 40 odd miles but not that bad. Asics could be the shoe I go for at Berlin this year.
I'm literally debating both these shoes for a half marathon i'm doing in August. Great timing
I’m going with Vapor 3
@@pedrofilho6818 I'm leaning this way. They are a few hundred bucks cheaper (Brasil). No review has been defnintive enough for me to side one way or another objectvely. So i'm thinking of leaning towards the vaporfly 3
did the berlin half in ms sky paris, worked perfectly!
i guess it depends on your feet :D
Nick for strictly a fast 5k with little to no corners and flat would you pick vaporfly 3 or sky?
I had an issue with the metaspeed sky with rubbing on my little toe =, so it was too narrow me. This wasn't an issue in the Vaporfly V2, Alphafly V1 or Endorphin Pro 3....is the Metaspeed Sky Paris no different in that regard, do you thjnk?
when is the triumph 22 review coming?!?!
Seems that, for a wider shoe and more cushioning, I want the Alphafly?
Between the Sky Paris and the Edge Paris, which of the two closely resembles the ride of last year's Endorphin Pro 3?
The sky Paris ripped my toes to shreds at Boston a few days ago.
Id done about 25k before the marathon in them, but the pain and blisters came on from mile 6 onwards. Not sure why- maybe the long downhill not suited to my gait and this shoe.
Sounds like you wore them too small
17 minute marathon PR (3:08:22 @ 60 years old) in the VF 3 so I have to stick with them. Too hard to figure out Sky/Edge for me and can't spend $500 to figure it out...
arent they like 250?
@@esquiveldani Yeah but you have to buy the Edge AND the Sky to figure out which model is best for you. So...$500
@@jimoconnor8597I think you mean the Edge Vs Sky, no?
Sky is better. I had both and am sending the Edge back. Join ASICS One club and you can use shoes for 90 days before sending them back.
@@JackD87 Been a member since they started it. I still have to pay $500 in an attempt to figure out which shoe might work. Kinda dumb. I'll stick with the AF 3 (and all the other super shoes I have). I can't see how either of these shoes could be better for me.
Where can I get the pink VF3s
This is the first time I've heard you guys (Mike and Kieran in particular) directly contradict one another - not in your verdicts, but in the descriptions that led to them. That makes me appreciate your authenticity, but some day I hope to hear contradictions even in your verdicts.
Never been a vaporfly fan myself, for the last few years ive only raced in takumi, they still feel "kinda old fashion "
I'm glad Nike tried to be clever with the AF3 drops as I missed out and ended up picking up the Asics Edge Paris. Never had an Asics raceday shoe before so can't compare to previous editions but I do have the VF3 and I prefer the Edge.
In terms of performance Nike been top of the pile for years in my opinion.. until now. The Edge Paris falls away on foot and the quickness in turnover I felt was incredible. Now there is recency bias and I have just run a 10k PB in my last race with them but I do really feel these are the best raceday shoe I currently have, and I have a lot! They are firmer than the VF3 but not firm, it's all relative and I prefer that feel, kind of like the Takumi Sen 8.
The VF3 is a brilliant shoe of course but I'll be picking the Asics Edge Paris for my half next month.
VF3 a disappointment after the 1 & 2, Hoka Rocket X2 was best choice until the Sky Paris came along. For me it's the best 5k and 10k racing shoe and vies with the AF3 for half and above, although I'd probably still go AF3 for marathon.
I've found the VaporFly's heavily discounted of late. Would still pick them over the Asics because of that.
The Edge Paris is the better comparison.
Yeah, the Sky pairs better with the AlphaFly.
do none of you run in the adios pro 3?? like make that comparison
I just ran a marathon in the Adios Pro 3 but only because it was wet and the grip on it is good (only the DN Elite 2 has better grip but I wouldn't run past a half in them). The Adios Pro 3 is a solid shoe but there is no way I would choose it over the Vaporfly or EP3 in dry conditions.
Vaporfly 2 or Sky paris for 5-10k racing?
Me pergunto a mesma coisa
Asics
vf 2 - more aggressive
Funny I have much more volume in toebox on the Paris shoes.
why does nobody talk abt the metaspeed edge paris?
The first version was a major fail, people said it was too firm and not enough foam under the forefoot and the first metaspeed sky was a really good shoe!...it was only until they brought out the Metaspeed edge plus, is when people gave it a chance. The update gave it a little more foam but by then, the damage was already done to it's reputation. But the Metaspeed edged Paris is finally starting to get some love, even though I still think many still feel the Sky Paris is the safer choice.
As much as I like the colour of the sky Paris, its not my colour. Hope they sont disappoint with the other colourways like they did with novablast 3.
Nike does not rhyme with Mike. Always grating to hear.
Asics all the way.
“Ass-sicks”
Hello run-testers,
I don’t get why you make these terrible fit-advices. In the same size the Nike is 0,5cm longer.
So you can’t say they are both true to size. And this explains why you mentioned the roomier fit of the Vaporfly.
Honestly the VF3 is trash. Even the Endorphin Speed 4 is a better shoe, in my opinion
