The original ASICS Gel Magic Racer introduced a number of new technical features; now the update has addressed the weaknesses of the original – fit, support, forefoot traction and durability. The excellent cushioning has been maintained with Gel and substantial EVA, a stabilizing post and lightweight Trusstic shank offer a measure of support, and the AHAR heel and EVA forefoot have been toughened for added durability while offering better traction. Feel the need for speed? Try a little racing Magic.
