The Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 3 is your go-to shoe when every second counts. It's built for speed and efficiency, making it ideal for competitive runners and those targeting personal bests.
Race Day: Experience maximum propulsion during marathons, half-marathons, or shorter road races. The carbon fibre PWRPLATE acts as a lever, working with your foot to provide a powerful toe-off.
Speed Workouts: Perfect for tempo runs, interval training, and track sessions where you need a responsive shoe to maintain high speeds. The NITROFOAM™ ELITE cushioning absorbs impact while returning energy, keeping your legs feeling fresher for longer.
Multi-Surface Traction: The PUMAGRIP rubber outsole ensures reliable grip on various paved surfaces, whether dry or slightly damp, giving you confidence through turns and quick accelerations.
This shoe is best utilized for its intended purpose: fast running. While comfortable, its design prioritizes performance over plush, everyday comfort. Consider it a specialized tool in your running shoe arsenal, deployed for your most important efforts.
Lacing: Ensure a snug, secure fit without overtightening. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
Break-in Period: While race shoes are often designed to perform optimally out of the box, a short break-in period (a few easy runs) can help your feet adapt to the feel of the carbon plate and ensure comfort on race day.
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners.
Distances: Designed for a range of race distances, from 5K to marathon.
Footwear Rotation: Ideal for use in a shoe rotation, alongside a dedicated daily trainer for easier runs and higher mileage.
To maintain the performance and longevity of your Deviate Nitro Elite 3 shoes:
Cleaning: Gently wipe off dirt and mud with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive brushes.
Drying: Air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose to direct sunlight or use artificial heat sources (like a dryer), as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid storing in cramped spaces that could alter the shoe's shape.
Avoid Machine Washing: Machine washing can degrade the materials, cushioning, and bonding agents in performance running shoes.
