Think Asics Magic Speed 5 launching in SG soon.....rrp USD$189 so probably at least $249 local price.

Self bump.....Magic Speed 5 launched in SG liao rrp $279

Also finally received my xiaonian.......went for size 45 and 1 full finger length space at the heel area. Should have gone for 1 size smaller. Probably is fine with runner's knot and thick socks.

Lighter and more bursty than the magic speed 4, but not as good for running long distance since lesser stack height

Most of my runner shoe also have 1 finger place allowance.

Sg is also not a good place to buy newly launched shoe as the retail price here is even higher than Australia and Japan.

Every new iteration Asics themselves up the price by 10-20USD. Reach SG further markup again. Price like sai but locals will still buy judging by the amount of Asics you see on the streets.

Magic Speed 5 Japan rrp 19800 yen which is roughly SGD$160 only. The chasm in price difference is beyond crazy.

The physical quality we lose fastest as we age isn’t strength, muscle, or endurance - it’s power!​

Why Power Declines Faster Than Strength

• Fast-Twitch Fibers (Type II): These fibers are crucial for explosive movements (sprinting, jumping) and shrink or are lost more quickly than slow-twitch fibers, notes this article from the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance.
• Neuromuscular Control: The brain's signals to muscles slow down, reducing the speed of muscle activation and coordination, even if the muscle itself still has strength.
• Rate of Decline: While strength might drop 1-2% yearly after 50, power can decrease 3-4% annually, especially without regular use.

Impact on Daily Life

• Difficulty with quick reactions, like catching yourself if you trip.
• Slower getting out of chairs or climbing stairs.
• Increased risk of falls and reduced mobility.

I find Xiaonian no 性价比。 Wait for it to drop below RMB300 then I will buy, which might never happen...lol
