The designs are inspired by the Olympics and the new release separates into two silhouettes. It kicks off with the METASPEED SKY PARIS and the METASPEED EDGE PARIS. Both of these are made with progressive technology including the brand's FF BLAST TURBO PLUS midsole foam unit which is what holds the carbon plate. The sneakers are landing just four months ahead of the Olympics in Paris. One of the key elements is the lightweight build as it is only 22g, making wearers feel lighter and faster. It also has a [wider full-length carbon plate](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arcteryx-sylan-2) to provide a larger propulsion with every step.
