The Asics Magic Speed is a neutral road racing shoe built for tempo runs and race day. It pairs a full-length carbon plate with a responsive foam midsole and a lightweight mesh upper, at about 8.1 oz with a 5 mm drop. It sits below the Metaspeed Sky and Edge in Asics' racing line: softer and more forgiving than those pure racers, but firmer and less plush than a daily trainer like the Novablast. Runners who want plate-assisted speed without a super-shoe feel tend to like it; those wanting deep cushioning for long easy miles usually look elsewhere.

Reviewers treat the Magic Speed as a solid value speed trainer: light, snappy and easy to pick up the pace in. Most praise the plate and the firm, efficient ride, while some find it too stiff for easy days and note the outsole wears faster than a daily trainer's.
