The latest PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite models

The innovative v3 version of the PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite takes speed to the next level. These models come in a variety of fresh colors, designed for both men and women. The v3 features clear improvements over previous generations. The fit offers more stability around the midfoot, and the upper has been made even lighter.

The latest versions maintain the signature combination of responsiveness and comfort, while enhancing energy transfer during toe-off. The sole construction has been subtly updated for added grip on both dry and wet roads. Thanks to a wider range of sizes and widths, there's a fitting model for virtually every competitive runner.

Technical specifications that make the difference

The PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite is remarkably light, with a weight of around 200 grams. This low weight directly contributes to a quicker stride frequency without added strain. The sole features NITROFOAM Elite cushioning – a type of foam that feels light yet delivers massive energy return. You'll especially notice this at a strong running pace, where every stride seems to add more distance.

The shoe includes a rigid carbon plate that provides extra propulsion. Combined with a stack height of around 36 mm and an 8 mm drop, it offers a natural stride transition without instability at landing. The fusion of cushioning, bounce and grip delivers top-level performance without compromising on comfort.

Ideal runner for the PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite

This racing shoe is perfect for runners focused on achieving fast times. Whether you're training for a 10K or a full marathon, the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite supports your speed without wasting energy. The model is particularly suited for advanced runners with solid technique, who can benefit from the stable landing and powerful toe-off.

For runners looking to excel in races or focus on fast interval sessions, this shoe is an excellent investment. The unique sole construction may require some adjustment, especially for those accustomed to more cushioning. However, the energy return and direct ground contact can make a significant difference in reaching your race goals.

Road vs. Trail, Choose the right version

The regular PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite is optimized for paved surfaces. Think asphalt, track training or well-maintained paths. The sole is smoother and designed for traction on dry to slightly wet terrain. If you're aiming for performance on unpaved trails, the Trail version is more suitable. It features a more aggressive tread and added grip around the heel and forefoot for stability on loose ground.

Both versions share the same energy return and cushioning but differ in grip and upper construction. The Trail version is slightly more robust and better suited for mud, rain and rocky terrain. Choose the version that matches your preferred surface and training goals.
