Critics' Consensus

“The ASICS MAGIC SPEED 5 is a lightweight, carbon-plated speed trainer that excels for fast workouts and short races like 5K and 10K, offering a snappy, forward-rolling ride. However, its lower stack and moderate cushioning make it less protective and potentially harsh for marathon racing, especially for runners who prefer plush landings.”
