Brand specifications

The shoe at a glance.

The MagMax NITRO 2 favors steady long runs and easy days, with a tall cushion, broad platform and PUMAGRIP outsole creating a planted feel. Its plate-free neutral construction offers a substantial base for cruising, although the thick midsole remains stiff. Impressions of the bounce differ, so it is best approached for its cushioning and steady character rather than a promised springy sensation. The midfoot can fit snugly and reports on toe room vary, making a careful fitting especially useful for wider feet and longer planned runs.

A closer look

Where it fits in your running

Recorded uses: everyday runs, easy & recovery. Designed for road running.

Cushioning and ride

Published testing found a comfortable, stable daily trainer with useful airflow. The high stack provides protection rather than an especially energetic push-off.

Our editorial ride category: balanced.

Fit and sizing

The midfoot can feel snug. Reports differ on toe-box room, so runners with wide feet should check the fit before committing to long runs.

Recorded widths: standard.

Before you choose

The thick midsole feels stiff, and opinions differ on its bounce. Choose it for protected cruising rather than a guaranteed springy sensation.
