Asics Magic Speed 2
close to the elite...
The Asics Magic Speed 2 shoes are the closest thing to Metaspeed Sky from the same brand. This new edition features the new Flyte Foam Blast + cushioning technology. Perfectly suited for use up to half-marathons, the Magic Speed 2 brings impressive energy and dynamism to training sessions and competitions alike.
Unlike its predecessor, the Magic Speed 2 features a full carbon and TPU blade from heel to forefoot (the first version of the model only had a half-blade on the front). This blade is "sandwiched" in the midsole between two layers of foam. Its main advantage is that it helps you to propel yourself further forward, thus increasing your speed. This blade reduces ground contact time during the impulse phase.
This shoe is recommended for asphalt surfaces and athletics tracks. Last but not least, the insole is made of ultra-light, highly breathable mesh for total foot ventilation, even on hot, humid days.
