On the run

Magnify Nitro 3: Bouncy, plush everyday cushion. Bouncy and plush, with fantastic energy return from the new Nitro foam and excellent breathability. The high drop limits versatility, and there’s no support.

Triumph 24: Max cushion with real bounce. Lively and bouncy thanks to Saucony’s new foam, with a balanced rather than mushy feel and a gentle rocker. It’s tall but light for its size and stays peppy when you pick up the pace.

Specs side by side

Stack, drop and weight come from each brand’s own website. Numbers marked * aren’t published by the brand and come from other published specs. Weights are for the size each brand quotes. Expected life is our estimate.

Fit

Magnify Nitro 3. True to size, with more toebox room than before.

Triumph 24. True to size, with excellent heel lockdown. It has more volume than the 23, but the toebox measures on the snug side, so wide feet should take the wide.
