What kind of runs is the MagMax Nitro 2 built for?

It is a road running shoe with max cushioning, best suited to daily miles, long runs and recovery days. It is not designed for trails.

How does it differ from Puma's other Nitro shoes?

It carries Puma's highest stack of NITROFOAM, so it is softer and more protective than the brand's firmer daily and tempo models. That extra cushioning adds bulk and reduces ground feel.

Is the upper breathable?

Yes. It uses an engineered mesh upper that Puma describes as breathable for comfort on the run.

Does it have good traction?

The PUMAGRIP outsole is designed to provide steady traction on road surfaces.

How does the fit run?

The shoe has a lace closure and a standard running-shoe build. Try it on if you are between sizes, since max-cushion shoes can feel roomier.

Who should avoid this shoe?

Runners who want firm ground feel, a light racing feel or trail grip should look at other models.
