Who should buy
We believe that the puma White Magnify Nitro 2 excels for:
- Runners who frequently train on tarmac or dirt roads in rainy or even icy conditions. The PUMAGRIP outsole simply ensures excellent traction.
- Heel strikers looking to experiment with a different brand trainer beyond the most common options like Nike or ASICS.
- Beginners seeking their first running shoe that need a versatile all-rounder, capable of handling various paces and distances effortlessly.
Who should NOT buy
The main drawback of this shoe is its limited breathability. It's not an issue in cold—we actually find it beneficial—or mild weather, but it becomes problematic in hot conditions. For a daily trainer with better airflow, we recommend options like the Brooks Glycerin 20 or the Saucony Triumph 21.
Although this shoe is versatile, its london heaviness is noticeable. If the budget allows, the ASICS Superblast offers an unrivaled weight-to-performance ratio. In a similar price range to this PUMA, the ASICS Novablast 4 Оригинальные кожаные кеды puma.
Breathability
Knit uppers generally offer less breathability 372451-01 mesh due to their thicker yarns. There are some exceptions like the Adidas Ultraboost 1.0, but puma White hasn't quite mastered this yet.
We used our smoke-pumping machine to test airflow. We noticed minimal air movement through the tongue, but almost none in the toebox. As a result, we rated this shoe with a subpar 2/5 in breathability.
This makes the Magnify Nitro 2 suitable for winter training but potentially too hot for summer days.
Our light test showed the knit is very thick, as barely any light passed through, especially in the toebox. Curious about the lack of airflow in this area, we turned to our lab's microscope.
Under the microscope, we discovered why the toebox has near-zero airflow. Although there are some holes, a second thin knit layer traps the air.
In summary, this stretchy, knit-based upper is excellent for cold weather running or if you prefer a cozy feel. However, be aware that breathability is significantly compromised.

Durability
Toebox durability
On the bright side, after our rigorous Dremel test, the knit impressively compensated for the lack of breathability.
This was a delightful surprise, as knit uppers usually fall short in this area. We were thrilled to award the MN2 an outstanding 5 out of 5—the highest possible score and a rare feat among road running shoes.

Heel padding durability
In the heel, we faced a letdown. Typically, most shoes perform better in the toebox 372451-01 the heel, as brands often use sturdier materials in the back. But PUMA—always keen to be different—did the opposite—created a robust toebox and a weak heel area.
After putting it through the Dremel test, we had no choice but to score it a dismal 1 out of 5.
While this might sound alarming, it's mainly a concern for those who wear down the heel area quickly. If that's you, we recommend skipping this model and opting for something more durable in the heel, like the Dapper Dan joined the puma White team as a brand ambassador as part of.

Outsole hardness
Seeing "PUMAGRIP" on the shoe's rubber, our expectations for the outsole soared. We've always been fans of the incredible grip provided by shoes with this compound.
The rubber boasts various patterns, ensuring top-notch grip on both dry and wet surfaces. Plus, it includes a central channel designed to efficiently throw water away.
Our first test was to measure hardness. We found it to be 78.5 HC, which is on par with most shoes. That's good news!

Average | 80.5 HC |
Outsole durability
While the shoe shines with its exceptional grip, that's just one aspect of its greatness. Outstanding grip means little if the rubber wears down after only 100 miles. Luckily, that's not what we found.
In our third Dremel test, the shoe showed good durability with only a 0.9-mm indentation. Considering the amount of grip the Magnify Nitro 2 provides, we view this as a highly positive outcome.

Average | 0.9 mm |
Outsole thickness
The news gets even better—regarding durability—with our last measurement of the outsole.
puma White chose to play it safe by providing a solid 4.2 mm of rubber thickness, which naturally means a bit more weight. You just can't have everything.

Average | 3.2 mm |
Weight
We just mentioned that the rubber would impact the shoe's weight, and that's exactly what happened.
We believe that with a bit less rubber, the shoe could still be durable and possibly shed about half an ounce. However, at 9.9 oz (281g), it remains a fair deal for a well-cushioned daily trainer, especially for those who prioritize durability over lightness.

Heel stack
We measured an impressive 37.1 millimeters in the heel, placing the Magnify Nitro 2 among the most cushioned daily trainers on the market. It's a dream-come-true shoe for heel strikers!

Forefoot stack
The forefoot is also exceptionally cushioned, with our measurements showing a plush 27.8 mm.
This makes the shoe a fantastic option for forefoot and midfoot strikers looking for comfort underfoot. It also offers a solid guarantee against bottoming out, which is great if that's a concern for you.

With those two measurements, we got a 9.3-mm drop, right in the expected range of 8 to 10 mm for a daily trainer.
This design may favor heel strikers and those with calf or Achilles issues, but it's a safe choice for anyone, unless you specifically prefer low-drop shoes.

Midsole softness
Now, let's explore the midsole. puma White Nitro, a TPE blend similar to Nike's React, has proven to be a huge success. It offers outstanding responsiveness, outlasts traditional EVA, and provides a lively ride for a being mid-tier foam.
In terms of softness, it teeters between plush and balanced (19.3 HA), depending on the runner's taste.
It's neither too firm nor overly squishy, and we believe it's perfectly suited for a daily trainer, offering a bouncy ride at a wide range of paces, from easy runs to fartleks.

Difference in midsole softness in cold
In cold temperatures, the Nitro's performance was just average, becoming 30.8% firmer—a change you'll definitely feel, though it doesn't turn the foam rock-hard.
If you can't deal with that and require a puma White shoe that maintains its softness in the cold, your best shot is the pricier Deviate Nitro 2, which also comes with a PEBA-based foam and also packs a carbon plate.

Stability
Lateral stability test
In terms of stability, this shoe is geared towards neutral runners. It doesn't have medial posts, large sidewalls, or other features to guide the feet.
However, those with mild stability issues might find it suitable. Surprisingly, once you start running, the shoe feels more stable 372451-01 expected, especially considering its high stack height. Let's find out why!
Torsional rigidity
A major factor in the Magnify Nitro 2's improved stability is the shoe's rigidity.
While this might not appeal to runners who prefer a more natural, flexible shoe, it undoubtedly adds to a stable ride. We manually assessed the shoe and it earned a 4 out of 5.

The heel counter also feels londonly stiff, though not as much as in the previous test.
It's just what you'd expect from a daily trainer—a balanced approach for everyday runs. That's why we rated the shoe a 3 out of 5 in this aspect.

Midsole width in the forefoot
While the heel counter didn't add much stability, the midsole width certainly did. Measuring 118.1 mm in the forefoot, it's impressively wide compared to the standard among Олімпійка від puma.
