If you’re a serious distance runner who’s constantly in search of a new competitive edge, you’ll want to try the Magic Speed. Designed for tempo and race-pace training runs, the Magic Speed offers highly responsive cushioning, energy savings and traction. It has a carbon plate embedded in the forward half of the midsole, and a pronounced toe rocker for springy transitions. The plate lends stiffness that’s designed to reduce ankle flexion, causing less wear and tear on the feet and legs. The shoe’s engineered mesh upper is as light as air – something runners definitely appreciate over longer distances.
