PUMA Unveils MagMax NITRO™ 2 – A Super Max Cushioned Running Shoe

PUMA has officially launched the MagMax NITRO™ 2, the next evolution of its popular supermax-cushioned running franchise designed for everyday runners. Arriving globally on 1 December 2025, the new model is lighter, smoother, and more responsive—offering a more energized ride from start to finish.

Built for Maximum Comfort and Responsiveness

Weighing 15g less than the 2024 predecessor, the MagMax NITRO™ 2 delivers a lighter feel without compromising on performance. The upgraded NITROFOAM™ midsole provides enhanced rebound and responsiveness, ensuring runners experience consistent energy return with every stride.

Runners can expect:

• Supermax cushioning for maximum comfort
• A springier, more energized underfoot feel
• Smooth transitions and lasting performance

The shoe’s improved construction helps keep athletes light on their feet whether they’re tackling daily training runs or pushing through long-distance sessions.

Designed with Everyday Runners in Mind

The MagMax NITRO™ 2 is equipped with a premium mesh upper for breathability, a plush collar for added comfort, and a knitted tongue to secure the perfect fit. These features work together to support neutral runners across any distance, pace, or routine.

“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, whether someone is out for a quick daily run or covering longer miles.”

Conor Cashin, Senior Footwear Product Line Manager at PUMA, explained the mission behind the upgrade:

Seamless Versatility

As an everyday running shoe, the MagMax NITRO™ 2 is built to fit effortlessly into any shoe rotation. It combines high-cushion comfort with practicality, making it accessible for runners at all levels.
