Puma Reveals Ultra-Squishy Running Shoe for Those Looking for Serious Comfort

Taking your first step out the door just got easier, as Puma has launched the MagMax Nitro – a new everyday running shoe that takes the term ‘max cushion’ to new heights.

Boasting an eye-watering 46mm of Puma’s Nitrofoam technology, Puma says the MagMax Nitro provides supermax cushioning and propulsion in every stride. With an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, this shoe has all the right ingredients to make your training and recovery miles feel effortless.

The perfect entry point for all types of runners, this ultra-cushion running shoe is a much-needed bouncy addition to your shoe rotation that will deliver on comfort and have you smiling from ear to ear, step after step. The shoe is ideal for neutral pronators, but anyone can benefit from the superior comfort of these running shoes.

An engineered mesh upper reinforced with Puma PwrTape provides premium breathability, whilst a rolled collar reinforced with foam ensures extra comfort and a true fit. The MagMax Nitro also features Puma’s signature PumaGrip durable rubber sole, providing assured multi-surface traction.

The Puma MagMax Nitro will be available in a Lapis Lazuli colourway, inspired by the bright blue precious stone it is named after. The men’s shoe features an intense purple-blue upper, with the mesh complemented by a streak of soft green on the NitroFoam midsole that ombres from the heel through to the forefoot.

The women’s shoe features a light blue mesh upper complemented by a lime green Puma formstrip, with a flash of intense, dark blue that adds vibrancy to the NitroFoam midsole.

Romain Girard, VP Innovation at Puma said “MagMax Nitro is our most cushioned every day running shoe yet – meaning you get more NitroFoam than we have ever put in a running shoe. It’s a gateway for people to access running, particularly when you need an extra boost to get out the door. Whether you are just stepping out onto the road, or you need additional comfort on a well-earned recovery run, this shoe has been designed to make running feel effortless and comfortable. Adding a supermax cushion shoe to our existing range provides runners with a great new option that can be integrated into any shoe rotation.”

The Puma MagMax Nitro running shoes are now available to purchase on Puma.com as well as at Puma Retail stores, Sportsmans Warehouse, Totalsports and Takealot at a recommended price of R3,699.
