ASICS Magic Speed 5

⚠️ Sizing Advisory — Unisex Sizing

The Magic Speed 5 is offered in unisex (men's) sizing. Women should size up approximately 1.5 sizes from their standard women's US size to find their equivalent fit (e.g., a women's 8 = unisex 6.5). This shoe fits true to size; if you're between sizes, size up. The snug, performance-oriented engineered mesh upper runs slightly small for some runners.

The ASICS Magic Speed 5 brings the line back to its roots as a lightweight, carbon-plated speed shoe that bridges the gap between a daily trainer and a race-day racer. A complete overhaul of the previous version, it's roughly 50g lighter and pairs a new dual-foam midsole with a reconfigured full-length carbon plate to deliver fast, efficient turnover at a fraction of a super-shoe's price.
