The Puma Velocity Nitro 4 HYROX is a versatile and lightweight trainer engineered for athletes tackling diverse workouts, from HYROX competitions to everyday runs. Its key win lies in combining high energy return and reliable multi-surface traction without sacrificing speed, making it ideal for those who demand performance across various activities. While exceptionally responsive and durable, its performance-focused design might feel firmer than dedicated maximalist cushioning shoes for some users.
NITROFOAM Midsole: Innovative nitrogen-infused foam provides maximum energy return, making the shoe lighter, more responsive, and faster feeling underfoot. This updated single-foam construction enhances dynamic performance.
PUMAGRIP Outsole: A durable compound rubber designed for superior multi-surface traction, ensuring reliable grip during varied movements and conditions, from gym floors to pavement.
Engineered Knit Upper with PWRTAPE: The premium mesh upper offers enhanced breathability and stretch for comfort, reinforced with strategically placed PWRTAPE to provide a secure, locked-in fit and improved durability.
Full-Length Carbon Fiber PWRPLATE: This integrated plate adds propulsive power to your push-off, enhancing speed and efficiency during intense efforts.
HYROX-Ready Design: Specifically engineered for the demands of HYROX, these shoes excel in sled work, running segments, and agility drills, offering the necessary stability, traction, and responsiveness.
Lightweight Construction: As the lightest Velocity model to date, it minimizes bulk to help you maintain speed and agility throughout your training and competitions.
Sustainable Materials: The upper is made with at least 30% recycled materials, contributing to a more environmentally conscious product.

Sled Pushes and Pulls: The robust PUMAGRIP outsole provides unyielding traction against various gym surfaces, ensuring maximum force transfer and stability during demanding sled work. The secure upper prevents foot slippage inside the shoe.
Running Segments: With the lightweight NITROFOAM and PWRPLATE, these shoes deliver a bouncy, responsive feel, making them efficient for short bursts of speed, interval training, and sustained running portions within workouts. The 10mm heel drop (36-26mm stack height) supports a natural stride.
Agility Drills: The locked-in fit provided by the engineered knit upper and PWRTAPE allows for quick, confident changes in direction. The shoe's overall lightness contributes to unhindered movement during shuttle runs, box jumps, and other agility exercises.
Everyday Training: While HYROX-ready, its versatile design makes it an excellent choice for a variety of general training runs and gym sessions, offering comfort, support, and responsiveness for neutral pronators.
Imagine transitioning seamlessly from a treadmill run to a farmer's carry, then directly into burpee broad jumps. The Velocity Nitro 4 HYROX is built to handle these diverse demands, providing the necessary grip, cushioning, and propulsion to keep you performing at your best without needing to switch footwear.
Upon receiving your Puma Velocity Nitro 4 HYROX shoes, simply lace them up. Ensure a snug but comfortable fit by adjusting the laces, paying attention to the PWRTAPE reinforced areas for optimal lockdown. Walk around to confirm there are no pressure points or excessive movement.
Runner Type: Recommended for neutral pronators.
Activities: Ideal for HYROX competitions, gym workouts, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), treadmill runs, short to medium-distance road running, and general fitness training.
Surfaces: Designed for multi-surface traction, performing well on gym floors, asphalt, track, and light trails.
Cleaning: To maintain the appearance and prolong the life of your shoes, gently clean the upper with a soft brush or cloth and mild soap and water. For stubborn dirt, a sneaker cleaner designed for performance footwear can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: After cleaning, allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent odor and material degradation.
Odor Control: If odors develop, remove the insoles and air them out. Shoe deodorizers or baking soda sachets can also help keep them fresh.
