The Asics Women's MAGIC SPEED™ 3 shoe is designed to support your racing goals. In addition to the softer cushioning experience, this shoe helps create better stability throughout your stride. ​ A full-length carbon plate is sandwiched in the midsole to propel your foot forward. This helps create a smoother and more propulsive experience during the toe-off phase of your stride.​ Both layers of the midsole are reconstructed with FF BLAST™ PLUS cushioning. This makes the ride feel bouncier and more energetic during tempo runs and races.
