The Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 is purpose-built for speed, making it an excellent choice for competitive road races, time trials, and crucial speed workouts. The synergy between the PWRPLATE carbon fiber plate and the responsive NITROFOAM™ ELITE provides a distinctly 'bouncy' and propulsive sensation, actively encouraging a faster turnover and more efficient stride. Runners will experience a powerful push-off that helps maintain high paces with less perceived effort.
The ULTRAWEAVE upper offers a secure yet flexible fit, essential for preventing hotspots and maintaining efficiency during high-intensity efforts. This fabric adapts to your foot, reducing unnecessary movement within the shoe.
Thanks to the PUMAGRIP outsole, you can confidently tackle various road surfaces. Whether the pavement is dry or slightly damp, the durable rubber provides reliable traction, allowing you to focus entirely on your pace and performance without concern for slippage. This combination of features is designed to help you shave seconds off your personal bests.
These trainers are designed for male adult runners. Ensure you select the correct size (e.g., UK 12.5 for this variant) for optimal performance and comfort.
It's recommended to gradually break in your new Deviate Nitro Elite 3 trainers. Start with shorter, less intense runs before using them for your main race or longest efforts. This allows your feet to adapt to the shoe's unique feel and responsiveness.
Cleaning: To maintain the integrity of the advanced materials, hand wash your trainers gently. Use a mild soap (e.g., dish soap) mixed with cold water and a soft brush or cloth. Avoid scrubbing vigorously.
Drying: Air dry your shoes completely in a cool, well-ventilated area. Do not place them in direct sunlight, near heaters, or in a tumble dryer, as extreme heat can damage the foam and upper materials.
Storage: Store your trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources or prolonged exposure to sunlight. This helps preserve the cushioning and structural components.
These trainers are specifically designed for road running, track intervals, and racing on paved surfaces. While PUMAGRIP offers multi-surface traction, they are not intended for technical trail running or demanding off-road conditions.
