For bounded metric spaces $X,Y$, let $[X,Y]$ be the set of <non-expansive map>[non-expansive maps] and define
$$
\bar d(f,g)=\sup\{d_Y(fx,gy):d_X(x,y)<d_Y(fx,gy)\}.
$$
Whenever $\bar d$ satisfies the triangle inequality, it is a metric and makes $[X,-]$ right adjoint to $-\times X$ in $\mathbf{Met}_b$.
