PUMA Men Magnify Nitro Running Shoes

Product Information

I would never expect a cushioned running trainer to provide super energy return, but the Novablast 2 did an excellent job in this regard. The midsole is somewhat flexible, which helps in propelling you forward. Some, however, felt lost in all the cush. One heel-striking tester felt the midsole wasn’t supportive enough over long stretches, and she desired a firmer platform to cup her heel. “Support and stability are of the utmost importance to me, and I felt as if they were compromised a bit because of the shoe’s narrowness and its extra foam underfoot,” she said.

She has a 1985 marathon PR of 3:16 in her second marathon which at the time put her on the top 10 Swiss women’s lists.

Sam: Agree with Derek here. The denser, firmer PWRRUN midsole and more pronounced front Speed Roll on a rigid profile is my choice for very stable faster runs where cushion “feel” is less important than propulsion. Otherwise the Puma is a more pleasant ride. I would add that if grip and outsole coverage is a key factor for you the Magnify is clearly superior. Sam: The Magnify Nitro is the 5th 2021 model in the brand new Puma Running 2021 Nitro collection. Each model serves a distinct run purpose with the Magnify slotting in as the max cushion easier to long run offering sitting right above the more daily training focused Velocity Nitro with Deviate Nitro the uptempo plated trainer, Liberate the very light race flat that can easily also be a trainer, the Elite as the carbon plated racer, and Eternity the stability trainer, sort of. The Magnify Nitro SP has a nitrogen-infused midsole to promote high rebound and durability. Lakota Gambill

These days he runs halves in the just sub 1:40 range training 30-40 miles per week mostly at moderate paces on the roads and trails of New Hampshire and Utah. He is 5’9” tall and weighs about 164 lbs if he is not enjoying to many fine New England IPA. DPT/Footwear Science: A-/B+ ( The dual midsole is done VERY well in this shoe and the sidewalls are integrated really well throughout. I just think the upper could be integrated with the midsole a little better through the midfoot) Adidas Ultraboost Light- The 23rd ultraboost features Light Boost to help cut 2 oz from the trainer What PUMA has done here has really challenged us because we can decide if we like Velocity or the Magnify better for those long easy runs. Giving us that little extra cushion while still remaining responsive and comfortable, we are definitely leaning toward the Magnify NITRO. If we had to give it one gripe, then it would be that that toebox can skew a little narrow and that will definitely depend on individual foot, PUMA should open that up just a touch. More color variety would be a huge win as well.All applicable customs and import duties and any other charges are the responsibility of the customer. Speaking of stiffness: the midsole is also less flexible compared to the Novablast 2. The latter rolls better, although I can see the Magnify Nitro working for people who prefers a last-second lift-off: the firmness of the sole could help add extra propulsion. The overall feel is that of a lightly springy shoe, more so in forefoot than heel, that has plenty of stability. Derek: I wear US9.5 in both shoes, though I probably fit a US9.0 best for the Magnify. Endorphin Shift has the smoother and faster transitioning geometry, but the Magnify has the more energetic and softer underfoot feel. Magnify also has a much better outsole in terms of grip and durability. If I were going for a steady faster long run, I would probably go with the Endorphin Shift, but for a slower more controlled effort, I think the Magnify is the more forgiving option. And below that we have a pretty much full coverage PumaGrip outsole whose rubber is shared with all the models and is among the grippiest and most durable we have seen.

Saucony Triumph 21- The excellent Triumph from last year gets a new upper that dials in the fit for an excellent overall ride It’s not like the original Novablast didn’t offer enough cushioning underfoot, but the Novablast 2 offers even more. The FF BLAST foam is soft and responsive and allows you to land softly without losing too much energy. Dominique: PumaGrip rubber creates a durable platform with firmer rubber in the heel and blown rubber in the forefoot. A decoupling groove enhances the forward motion of the foot upon landing on the firm rubber in the right lateral side of the heel with a toe-off on softer and bouncier rubber in the left forefront of the foot.

Overall it was a comfortable run and I’d happily take this out for longer jaunts and easy runs. Where can I buy it? Reebok Floatride Energy Grow Review- We look at the one of the most sustainable shoes in the market today and dive into the world of castor bean usage But wait, there is more! Asics also increased the mid-foot width of the shoe. They carried out asymmetric undercutting to the midsole’s geometry, which works together with a new TPU heel stabiliser to create a “more balanced stride and harness the shoe’s bounciness”. The women’s version has a different last with a narrowed heel, lower in-step, and sculpted arch shape. Sam: Invincible is for sure much more fun with its all Zoom X midsole (not even a lasting board in the mix) and thin rubber outsole. It all spring and soft energetic bounce. Not as stable and with not nearly the upper of the Puma, Invincible is a shoe to try and is a blast but is not as versatile.
