SINGAPORE, 30 January 2026 — ASICS has officially launched the MAGIC SPEED™ 5 in Singapore, introducing the latest evolution of its high-performance speed shoe designed to help runners train and race at faster paces with greater efficiency and energy return.
Built for athletes seeking a responsive, propulsive ride, the ASICS MAGIC SPEED™ 5 blends cutting-edge racing technology with the durability required for fast daily training, making it a versatile option for tempo runs, interval sessions and race-day efforts.
MAGIC SPEED™ 5 Showcased at ASICS Magic Speed Relay Singapore 2026
The newly launched MAGIC SPEED™ 5 was recently showcased at the ASICS Magic Speed Relay Singapore 2026, which took place last weekend at Emerald Pavilion, Siloso Beach, Sentosa.
The coastal relay event brought together over 20 local run clubs, elite athletes and members of the running community in a high-energy celebration of speed, teamwork and performance.
Participants experienced the MAGIC SPEED™ 5 in action, alongside fringe activities including shoe trials, recovery sessions, stencil art, commemorative poster making and sunset DJ sets.
The relay highlighted ASICS’ commitment to building a strong local running community while providing runners with access to its latest performance footwear innovations.
Engineered for Speed: FF LEAP™ and Carbon Plate Propulsion
At the heart of the MAGIC SPEED™ 5 is a dual-layer midsole system featuring FF LEAP™ technology in the top layer, paired with FF BLAST™ PLUS in the bottom layer. This combination delivers enhanced energy return, a springy underfoot feel and improved responsiveness to help runners sustain faster paces with less effort.
A reconfigured full-length carbon plate is sandwiched within the midsole, with updated geometry designed to improve acceleration and toe-off efficiency. The result is a more aggressive and stable propulsion system that supports faster transitions and powerful forward momentum.
Lightweight, Breathable Upper and Reliable Traction
The MAGIC SPEED™ 5 features a refined engineered mesh upper that offers a lightweight, breathable and adaptive fit. Designed to move naturally with the foot throughout the gait cycle, the upper enhances comfort and lockdown during high-intensity speed sessions.
Underfoot, the ASICSGRIP™ outsole delivers dependable traction and durability, giving runners confidence to maintain speed through corners and across a variety of training and racing surfaces.
