PUMA is pushing the boundaries of max-cushioned running once again with the launch of the MagMax NITRO 2, arriving globally on 1 December 2025. As the newest evolution in PUMA’s rapidly growing MagMax franchise, this model delivers a noticeably lighter, smoother, and more responsive ride. It sets a new benchmark for everyday runners seeking maximum comfort and energy return.
A Lighter, More Energized Max Cushion Experience
To begin with, the MagMax NITRO 2 sheds 15 grams compared to the first-generation shoe released in August 2024. This weight reduction may seem subtle. However, for runners, it translates into a noticeably quicker, springier, and more fluid feel underfoot. Moreover, PUMA incorporates a refined version of NITROFOAM, engineered to provide heightened rebound and a more energetic transition. It achieves this without sacrificing the trusted consistency that made the original MagMax a crowd favourite.
With this enhanced foam composition, every step feels cushioned yet powerful, allowing runners to experience a ride that is both luxurious and performance-oriented.
Underfoot Energy Meets Premium Comfort
Additionally, the MagMax NITRO 2 doubles down on PUMA’s philosophy of maximum-energy cushioning. Featuring full-length NITROFOAM, the shoe delivers exceptional bounce, shock absorption, and long-distance durability. Runners can expect a plush, soft platform. It still maintains enough responsiveness for daily miles, long runs, and everything in between.
The upper has also been thoughtfully re-engineered. A premium mesh construction ensures excellent breathability, while the plush heel collar and knitted tongue offer a secure, locked-in sensation. Together, these upgrades produce a fit that feels supportive, adaptive, and comfortable mile after mile.
Designed for Every Runner, Every Distance
Furthermore, PUMA designed the MagMax NITRO 2 to work seamlessly for neutral runners seeking a cushioned, effortless experience. Whether someone is building up for race season, adding easy miles, or simply enjoys the feel of soft and stable daily trainers, the MagMax 2 fits naturally into any rotation.
Conor Cashin, Senior Footwear Product Line Manager at PUMA, emphasized this universal appeal:
“With MagMax NITRO 2, our focus was on enhancing what runners already loved, cushioning and energy, while making the shoe lighter and more responsive. We wanted every step to feel energized so whether someone is out for a quick daily run or covering longer miles, the shoe delivers comfort and performance from start to finish.”
Cashin’s statement reinforces PUMA’s commitment to engineering performance footwear that adapts to runners’ evolving needs, while still pushing design and innovation forward.
Refined Performance, Built for Daily Versatility
Moreover, PUMA has prioritized versatility in this latest iteration. The MagMax NITRO 2 supports:
-
Daily Training: thanks to its plush cushioning and durable outsole
-
Long Runs: through consistent underfoot stability
-
Recovery Days: with soft compression and smooth transitions

Because of this balanced performance, the MagMax 2 becomes an ideal entry point for new runners, as well as a dependable workhorse for experienced athletes.
