This creates a snappy toe-off that works best at moderate to high speeds. The carbon plate is most noticeable in the forefoot, where it adds a decent amount of stiffness. It is not super foam bouncy, but there is still plenty of resiliency that makes picking up the pace easy and fun. The new midsole is made up of two layers of FF Blast+, which provides a softer and far bouncier ride than the previous version. The Magic Speed 3 is a workout/racing shoe with a stiff carbon plate, bouncy midsole and a durable outsole. I had some mild abrasions on my foot using this for moderate efforts sockless, so socks are highly recommended. The inner mesh is a little scratchy and I would encourage anyone interested in this shoe to wear socks. The snug fit and good lockdown have kept my foot secure through all paces and turns. The security throughout the length of the shoe is quite good. There is a little more stiffness at the rearmost portion of the heel, but the counter is flexible and I had no issues. The heel features a thin amount of heel collar cushioning and a flexible heel counter. I did not have to tie the laces down tightly in order to get a secure fit and did not have to lace lock this shoe. The midfoot is snug and features a thin, gusseted tongue. The forefoot volume is low and tapered in the toe box. The mesh stretches a little but mostly holds its shape.
For those who have wider feet, are between sizes or want to use these for longer efforts, I would highly suggest going up a half size. For short to moderate distances, true to size will fine if you are okay with a snugger/shorter fit. I found thin socks helped with the fit, which feels like how older/traditional racing shoes used to. It creates a lower-volume fit that is a little tapered at the toe box. The new Motion Wrap upper is extremely light, thin, and secure. The ASICS Magic Speed 3 fits me short in my normal men's US size 10. This makes it an excellent and affordable workout/race shoe for those who still want a carbon-plated shoe with the versatility for some daily training and the speed to handle faster efforts all the way to race day. The ride is surprisingly bouncy and snappy for a non-super shoe, featuring two layers of FF Blast+. The fit is snug and slightly short, reminiscent of older racing shoes. The ASICS Magic Speed is a faster uptempo/workout/racing shoe for those who want a moderately bouncy ride and a carbon plate.
