Our take on the Asics Magic Speed 5 Sneakers

The Magic Speed 5 is Asics' mid-tier carbon-plated road racer, sitting below the Metaspeed Sky and Edge. It pairs a full-length carbon plate with a bouncy FF Blast+ foam and a 7mm drop, so it rewards a quicker tempo without the aggressive geometry of a pure race shoe. Reviewers treat it as a versatile speed trainer for intervals, tempo runs and shorter races. It is firmer and less forgiving than the Novablast or Superblast, and the mesh upper runs warm for some.

Questions and answers

Is the Magic Speed 5 good for daily training?
It works for tempo runs and faster sessions, but the firm, plated ride is not ideal for easy recovery days. Most runners keep a softer shoe for those.
How does it compare with the Metaspeed Sky?
The Metaspeed Sky is lighter and more propulsive, built for race day. The Magic Speed 5 is firmer and more durable, better as a training companion.
Does it fit true to size?
Owners generally report a true-to-size fit. If you wear thick socks or have wide feet, the wide option gives extra room.
Is it stable enough for overpronators?
It is a neutral shoe with a stiff plate, so it offers limited stability. Runners who need support should look at a stability trainer instead.
What is the drop?
It has a 7mm heel-to-toe drop, which suits midfoot and forefoot strikers as well as heel strikers.
Can I race a marathon in it?
It can handle a half marathon well. For a full marathon, many runners want more cushioning or a lighter race shoe.
Where is the Asics Magic Speed 5 Sneakers cheapest?
At KICKS CREW, for $129.87, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Asics Magic Speed 5 Sneakers?
