Expert Review Sources

  • The Running Collective : 91.2 / 100 — « Built by Puma around the NITROFOAM midsole, the Magnify Nitro 3 strikes a convincing balance between impact protection and lively turnover (261 g, a 11.5 mm drop). Its balance of shock absorption and responsive rebound meets every expectation for daily trainer training. »
  • RunRepeat : 91.6 / 100 — « PUMA is on a hot streak, and the Magnify Nitro 3 makes that obvious. We found in the lab that its new Nitro foam delivers a bouncy, plush ride that feels amazing. We really liked the breathable upper and the improved PumaGrip outsole, which gives reliable traction even on wet surfaces and mixed terrain like dirt roads. It could be more stable and the drop might be too high for some runners, but we still believe it’s a real hit that clearly leapfrogs its predecessor. »
  • Doctors of Running : 90.0 / 100 — « Pairing Puma's NITROFOAM platform with a 11.5 mm drop, the Magnify Nitro 3 reduces plantar flexor fatigue through progressive longitudinal stiffness (a 11.5 mm drop, 261 g). A smart choice for runners looking for a 11.5 mm drop and consistent performance all season long. »
