ASICS Magic Speed 2 Review

The Metaspeed’s little brother? For a decent price these shoes can handle a lot of the same purposes as it’s super shoe relative. -Upper: 🟡 —A little too roomy when going fast around corners, but great for long runs and comfortable overall. -Midsole: 🟡 —Not as bouncy as Novablast or energetic as FlyteFoam Turbo —A bit firm in heel —Plate and FF Blast+ feel nice and responsive when picking up the pace -Outsole: 🟢 —Grips great on road —Great durability so far -Run Types: Speed Day: 🟢 Everyday: 🟡 Long Run Day: 🟡 Recovery Day: 🔴 -Conclusion: 🟡 —The Magic Speed 2 is a great uptempo trainer that can be a companion to your race day super shoe, or could even be a budget race day option. —To take this shoe to the next level, making it full FF Blast+, or adding some FF Turbo in there would make it even better.
