Not recommended for beginners. The stiff full-length carbon plate and firm cushioning can overload the feet, calves and Achilles when strength and form are not yet developed. Build 3-6 months of base in cushioned trainers, reach 100km+ monthly mileage and handle tempo runs steadily before considering a carbon racer.

Technical Specifications
Midsole Technology
The midsole uses FF TURBO foam, ASICS's premium lightweight racing foam. It delivers a responsive, direct ride and maintains stable energy return at high paces, balancing low weight with propulsion efficiency.
Carbon Plate Structure
A full-length carbon plate runs from forefoot to heel in one piece, providing a rigid lever effect that enhances push-off drive and smooth roll-through, the core of its racing rhythm.
Upper Material
The upper uses a lightweight breathable mesh that wraps the foot and vents heat well. At only about 227g total, it stays dry and locked-in through long high-intensity efforts.
Outsole Configuration
The outsole features ASICSGRIP rubber with excellent traction and reliable grip on wet surfaces. Wear zones at the forefoot and heel are reinforced to balance grip and durability.

Feel Attribute
The foam is set firm with clear support, racing-oriented rather than plush. Feedback is crisp at speed, but at easy paces or late in long runs it demands more foot and leg strength, requiring a solid base.
The YOGIRI SPEED is the successor to the YOGIRI S4+, positioned as a carbon-plated racing shoe. A full-length carbon plate pairs with an FF TURBO midsole, and at roughly 227g with a 5mm drop it prioritizes efficient propulsion and agile transitions. The lightweight breathable mesh vents well and the ASICSGRIP outsole grips confidently. It is built for serious runners targeting a sub-4 marathon: direct and flowing at speed, but firm underfoot, so comfort at easy paces or all-day wear is limited. Best suited to runners with a solid strength and pace base for racing and tempo work.
