The ASICS Magic Speed 2 is back and better than ever. The foam is softer and more propulsive, it is even more environmentally friendly than before and the updates have made it increasingly lightweight. The Magic Speed 2 is the ideal tempo/ race day shoe, performing outstandingly accross both levels. It has the durability and more accessible price point required to use it for training but lacks no elements to race for that PB.

Midsole:
A full-length carbon and TPU plate are sandwiched in the midsole. This creates a responsive and energetic underfoot feel, especially in the toe off phase of your stride.
The midsole's top layer is reconstructed with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning. FF BLAST PLUS has an incredibly high energy return and is incredibly light resulting in a propulsive feeling.
Outsole:
ASICSGRIP™ rubber outsole improves traction
Upper:
At least 50% of the shoe’s main upper material is made with recycled materials to reduce waste and carbon emissions
The sockliner is produced with the solution dyeing process that reduces water usage by approximately 33% and carbon emissions by approximately 45% compared to the conventional dyeing technology.
