PUMA Deviate NITRO 3 vs MagMax NITRO

The PUMA MagMax NITRO and PUMA Deviate NITRO 3 occupy largely different ends of the spectrum of run types, with only some overlap. The MagMax is primarily intended for casual, everyday runs, with some variation in pace. The Deviate NITRO 3 is built for faster tempo and interval workouts, so the only overlapping use case for these two shoes would be strides or fartleks. Even there, the experience these two shoes provide is quite different: where the MagMax is soft, the Deviate NITRO 3 is snappy. While the MagMax attains stability through a wide platform, the Deviate NITRO 3 puts a carbon plate in a much narrower midsole. The two shoes are thus good training companions for runners who like PUMA's fit and ground feel.
