ASICS Magic Speed 5 - Trainers - Green - Black - UK 11

The ASICS Magic Speed 5 is designed for adult male runners with a neutral foot type who are looking to enhance their speed in competition, especially on asphalt.

The full carbon plate provides enhanced propulsion, stability, and creates a stiff, efficient transition through your stride, helping you maintain faster paces.

The ASICS Magic Speed 5 trainers weigh approximately 196 grams, making them very lightweight for competitive running.

While they can be used for some training, their design is optimized for competition. The firm, propulsive nature might be too aggressive for everyday easy runs for some runners. They are best reserved for speed work and races.

The shoe features a 7 mm drop, which is the difference in height between the heel and the forefoot.

It utilizes a combination of FF LEAP™ and FF BLAST PLUS foams for responsive and comfortable cushioning.

The outsole provides grip on dry asphalt. While usable in wet conditions, caution is advised as grip may be reduced compared to dry surfaces.

The full carbon plate is designed for a firm, propulsive feel. Break-in the shoes with shorter runs before a competition. If still too stiff, they may not be the ideal shoe for your preference.

Ensure the laces are tied correctly, not too tight or too loose. Check if the neutral shoe type is suitable for your foot's natural pronation. Consider trying on with your preferred running socks.

Cushioning foams can degrade with extensive use. This shoe is optimized for competition; consider using it primarily for speed work and races. Ensure proper care to maintain foam integrity.

The outsole is designed for optimal grip on dry asphalt. For wet conditions, proceed with caution as grip may be reduced. Ensure the outsole is clean from debris.
