The Asics Magic Speed series originally seemed compelling to me but as I have become more familiar with Asics GuideSole models such as the EvoRide and GlideRide I have soured on Asics in general. These models, Magic Speed included, use either overly firm midsoles or rigid plates that lead to a proscriptive ride. The shoes are simply too inflexible to be enjoyable. Unsurprisingly, there's a few reviews for the Magic Speed 2 on Running Warehouse noting with dissatisfaction the firmness of the midsole. The Magic Speed 2 uses two different plates, one carbon and another either unexpanded Pebax or TPU, which seems like overkill. Those plates negate the cushioning of the FF Blast foam.
The other shoes Sierra currently has are no better. There's been a paucity of compelling options from this retailer. They only seem to get the unwanted scraps that other retailers don't want to touch.
