"The midsole of the Fast-R 3 is made of NITRO ELITE foam, an A-TPU foam that's incredibly lightweight. It compresses and it decompresses very fast. It has a soft, energetic ride."
"The Metaspeed Edge's midsole is dual-density- it's made of FF Leap (A-TPU) on the top and FF Turbo+ (PEBA) on the bottom. The softer top layer is for energy return and comfort while the firmer bottom layer is for stability and durability."
"If you need stability, the Metaspeed Edge is much more stable. It has a wider base and it has the midfoot section that the Fast-R doesn't have."
"The Fast-R is better suited to short distance races such as half marathons or 10K's whereas the Metaspeed is better suited to longer races such as marathons because it offers more stability and support."
The Fast-R Elite 3 features NITRO ELITE foam for a lightweight, energetic ride, while the Metaspeed Edge Tokyo uses dual-density foam for comfort and stability. Both shoes have full-length carbon plates, but the Fast-R's is exposed for weight savings, whereas the Metaspeed's is hidden and stiffer. The Fast-R is ideal for midfoot strikers and shorter races, while the Metaspeed Edge offers better stability, a larger landing area, and is suited for longer races with twists and turns. Durability is also superior in the Metaspeed Edge.
