Brooks Glycerin 23 First Run | A slight midsole update makes a big difference
The Brooks Glycerin 23 is a neutral road running shoe designed for everyday training and long runs. It features Brooks’ dual-cell DNA TUNED midsole, which uses nitrogen-infused foam for a balanced ride with a touch of energy return. Compared to the previous version, the Glycerin 23 adds 2 millimetres of cushioning in the forefoot, giving the shoe an 8mm drop instead of the 10mm in the Glycerin 22.

R.A.D UFO Vs Puma MagMax Nitro 2 | We test two of the chunkiest shoes out at the moment
The R.A.D UFO is a shoe designed for performance and comfort. At the center of its design is a big dual-layer stack of SUPEFOAM, a PEBA blend that combines a softer layer to absorb impact and reduce fatigue and a firmer layer to provide a high level of energy return. The Puma MagMax 2 is designed to improve on its popular predecessor by being lighter, faster and more responsive, offering a comfortable ride with a good level of energy return. The main change is that the chunky stack of Nitrogen infused Nitrofoam has been tweaked slightly to offer an increase in bounce and cushioning.
