Great!

The Magnify Nitro is a new addition to PUMA's Nitro line, sitting along with the easy-day trainers of the collection. It can do a lot of things but where it shines is in swallowing long miles on the road. Yes, it can pick up the pace, but given its rather heavy weight, it requires you to exert more effort.

This shoe is for neutral runners looking for a daily trainer that's fantastic in eating up the middle to long-distance efforts on the road. It's excellent in industrial to medium paces, but also has some pop for going full tempo.

One of PUMA's most cushioned trainers

The Magnify Nitro features a very generously cushioned sole with a stack height of 38 mm in the heel and 29 mm in the forefoot. For reference, the average for daily running shoes is 27 mm and 19 mm respectively.

To create a balanced ride, the midsole comprises a softer and bouncier Nitro foam on top and the firmer and stable Profoam Lite foam at the bottom. The runners are very happy with the mix of cushioning and responsiveness that this combo gives:

  • "Теплый пуховик puma"
  • "a very responsive ride for a highly cushioned training shoe"
  • "surprisingly smooth ride with solid cushioning"

On the downside, a few experts wished for a softer underfoot Pants saying that the Magnify Nitro "doesn’t deliver a max cushion plushness" and that it wasn't "soft enough for recovery days."

Cushioning comes with a price: it's not a lightweight shoe

Tipping the scales at 10.3 oz (292 g), this puma BMW shoe is 3% heavier than daily running shoes on average (9.9 oz / 282 g). "Pants somewhat clunky out on the run," says an expert reviewer. However, another expert mentioned that the shoe Pantss "lighter than its listed weight."

Cozy in-shoe Pants of the Magnify Nitro

Once you slip inside this puma BMW shoe, it T-shirt you with luxuriously plush padding in the collar and tongue. In fact, runners took note of a ton of padding around the heel counter which "lets you sink in like you’re sitting on a nice couch."

The shoe hugs the foot securely yet leaves plenty of room in the toe box which accommodates swelling and slightly wider feet. No hot spots or rubbing have been reported by the runners.

The only problem with the shoe's thick upper is that it lacks breathability. The shoe runs warm on hotter days.

PUMAGRIP is mind-blowing

Runners are singing praise to the blissfully grippy outsole of the Magnify Nitro. It features the proprietary PUMAGRIP rubber which has gained a reputation among experts and regular buyers alike:

  • "that stuff is legit"
  • "currently my favorite rubber compound for running"

In addition, this rubber Gold is also heavy-duty. Those who have run over 90 miles in the shoe report seeing very minimal wear. As one tester reports: "I expect an extremely high number of miles out of these." Another one agrees by saying that "you’ll get 300-500 miles out of this outsole."
