The PUMA Fast-R Nitro Elite has been specially developed for competitive runners who want to push their limits. This running shoe combines innovative technologies with a lightweight design, allowing you to give your all in every race. Now available at PassaRunning, this race-ready shoe offers everything you need to perform at your best in races from 5Ks to marathons. The perfect choice for any runner chasing a new personal best.
The Fast-R Nitro Elite features NITROFOAM Elite cushioning in the forefoot and heel, providing powerful energy return without compromising on comfort. The split-sole construction stabilizes the forefoot separately from the heel, ensuring your stride remains natural and efficient. The carbon PWRPLATE in the midfoot adds extra stiffness for maximum speed with every push-off, even at faster paces.
Weighing just 216 grams (men’s US size 9), the PUMA Fast-R Nitro Elite feels incredibly light. This offers a significant advantage during longer races. The PUMAGRIP outsole delivers optimal traction, even in wet conditions or sharp turns. The stack height is approximately 36 mm at the heel and 28 mm at the forefoot, resulting in a drop of about 8 mm. This provides a balanced transition from landing to push-off, ideal for runners looking to move efficiently at speed.
Who is the Fast-R Nitro Elite for?
The Fast-R Nitro Elite is designed for runners with a neutral gait who are looking for a race-focused shoe that allows for high-speed running. Its construction is particularly suited to runners who land on their midfoot or forefoot. The cushioning and responsiveness support paces from 10 km/h and faster. This makes the shoe ideal for race-pace workouts and official competitions.
This shoe is a favorite among competitive runners or those specifically training to improve their times in events like the 10K, half marathon, or marathon. The mesh upper provides firm support without feeling tight. The snug fit offers added control at high speeds. Thanks to its durable construction, the Fast-R Nitro Elite is suitable for multiple races and the training leading up to them, with an expected lifespan of 250 to 400 kilometers.
Comparison with other PUMA racing shoes
Within PUMA’s range of race shoes, the Fast-R Nitro Elite stands as the top-tier model. Compared to models such as the Deviate Nitro Elite, this shoe is even more finely tuned for maximum race-day efficiency. The split sole and NITROFOAM Elite provide extra propulsion at toe-off and a smoother stride at tempo. Unlike the more versatile Deviate, the Fast-R is truly made for the competitive runner seeking peak performance from a speed-oriented shoe.
While other models are well suited for tempo or extended interval workouts, the Fast-R shines in the final kilometers of a race, when efficiency and energy return are critical. This is the shoe you turn to when it really matters: fast times, official races, and chasing your personal best. Available in a variety of colors and sizes, so you can always find a version that fits your style and training plan.
