ASICS says

The MAGIC SPEED™ 5 shoe features an energized ride so you can fly through your runs and races with more speed. It's also approximately 50g lighter than the previous version.

FF LEAP™ cushioning and FF BLAST™ PLUS have been added to the midsole to create an elevated run experience and a highly energized toe-off.

When combined with a lower drop (7mm), a lower total stack height (reduced 6mm in the heel and 5mm in the forefoot from the previous version), and a reconfigured carbon plate, this shoe provides a responsive ride and better control.
