Asics Unisex Magic Speed 5 Ekiden

Now in its 5th iteration, the ASICS Magic Speed is turning the clocks back a bit, and blurring the lines between race day shoes and performance trainers.

With a significantly lower stack height that evokes the Magic Speed 3 more than the Magic Speed 4, version 5 sheds its excess weight and puts its emphasis back on speed. The Magic Speed 5 takes some super shoe cues from their recently successful METASPEED TOKYO Edge cousin, with a full-length top layer of ASICS' lightest, springiest ASICS' FF LEAP foam (as seen in the Edge) and a bottom layer of stable, bouncy FF BLAST PLUS foam. Between these foams, ASICS gives us a reconfigured carbon plate, with each element working together to provide a confident, responsive, fast underfoot feeling. 

On the outsole, ASICS' standard ASICSGRIP rubber provides all the time-tested traction you need, while across the upper, ASICS' engineered mesh, recycled polyester construction, and dope dyed sockliner work together to give you a snug-fitting, but breathable and light, race-ready wrap. 

As a whole, ASICS has pulled a magic trick and upgraded the 5 to be a leaner, meaner lightweight racer that's ready to cast a spell on your competition.
