Delving Into the Functionality of PUMA "DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 3"

Recognized for its high functionality, more and more Japanese corporate and university runners are gradually choosing PUMA. For example, in the 2024 Hakone Ekiden, 20 athletes chose PUMA running shoes, positioning the brand fourth in market share. Considering only one runner chose it in the 2022 race, this is a significant surge.

One such top racing model from PUMA, the latest in the "DEVIATE NITRO ELITE" series, the "DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 3," is now available. What upgrades have been made from the previous version?

The Lightest Racing Shoes in PUMA History

Introducing with the tagline "Lightness that Transforms into Speed," the carbon-plated racing shoes "DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 3." Despite the midsole being 4mm thicker than its predecessor, its weight is just 194g (27cm). It's the lightest racing shoes in PUMA history and supports athletes in breaking their personal bests with overwhelming speed.

The midsole features PUMA's innovative NITRO ELITE FOAM, known for its high responsiveness and lightweight properties. This same foam was also used in last December's release, FAST-R NITRO ELITE 2.
