High Performance Meets Versatility in this Uptempo Trainer
If you’re not sure if you need a daily trainer or a dedicated uptempo shoe, you can have the best of both worlds with the new and improved Asics Magic Speed. Now on its 4th iteration, the Magic Speed is the ideal shoe for anyone looking for some extra pop and energy in their steps without the hefty price tag that often comes with carbon-plated shoes.
The best part about the overhauled Magic Speed is its versatility. The midsole features a high stack of FF Turbo Blast Plus foam combined with FF Turbo cushioning in the forefoot, creating soft, protective landings with more responsive, energetic toe-offs. There’s enough soft cushioning to carry you through long runs and daily mileage, while the bouncy forefoot cushioning shines during uptempo runs, workouts, and even on race day.
Another standout feature in the Magic Speed 4 is the sculpted, full-length carbon plate. Embedded within the midsole foam, this plate offers extra energy return and propulsion in every step. And the comfort and support doesn’t end in the midsole – the breathable mesh upper offers a flexible and adaptive fit so you can focus on crushing your workouts without any movement, discomfort, or hot spots around the foot.
