MagMax Nitro

$180.00Super Trainer

Puma's MagMax Nitro is a maximalist super trainer known for its exceptional cushioning and comfort, providing a stable and protective ride. It features a high stack of responsive Nitrofoam and a grippy PumaGrip outsole. While heavier than some rivals, limiting agility for very fast efforts, it excels in easy daily runs, long distances, and recovery, with some versatility for moderate tempo. Reviewers praise its excellent fit and solid value for high mileage, though some note a firmer feel than expected, a potentially clunky heel for rearfoot strikers, and a narrow midfoot for certain foot types.

Highlights

  • Exceptional max-cushioning with a protective, plush ride
  • Surprisingly stable platform despite high stack height
  • Outstanding traction and durable PumaGrip outsole
  • True-to-size fit with a secure, stretchy knit upper
  • Balanced cushioning that offers mild bounce without feeling mushy

Considerations

  • Noticeably heavy weight compared to competitors
  • Moderate energy return that may feel less lively than rival super-trainers
  • Narrow midfoot can cause arch pressure for runners with flat feet
  • Tongue and gusset may feel rough against bare skin
  • Reduced agility and responsiveness at faster paces
