The Puma Deviate NITRO Elite 3 is engineered to deliver a fast and efficient running experience on race day. The core of its performance lies in the synergy between the ultra-lightweight NITROFOAM™ ELITE and the stiff carbon fiber PWRPLATE. The foam provides a soft yet highly responsive base, absorbing impact and returning energy with each stride, while the carbon plate acts as a lever, propelling you forward and maintaining efficiency as you tire. This combination makes the shoe feel incredibly dynamic, encouraging a quick turnover and a propulsive toe-off.
Ideal for asphalt surfaces, the PUMAGRIP outsole ensures confidence-inspiring traction, whether you're cornering or pushing the pace on straightaways. With an 8mm drop and neutral support, it caters to runners who prefer a more traditional heel-to-toe offset and do not require additional pronation control. Runners will find these shoes excel in setting personal bests in events from 5k to marathon distances, providing a competitive edge where every second counts.
Using your Deviate NITRO Elite 3 trainers is straightforward:
Lacing: Ensure laces are tied securely but not overly tight, allowing for natural foot expansion during your run. Experiment with different lacing techniques if you experience pressure points.
Break-in: While designed for immediate performance, it's advisable to wear them for a few shorter runs or speed workouts before race day to ensure optimal comfort and fit.
Runner Type: Best suited for neutral runners seeking a fast, propulsive shoe.
Surface: Optimized for asphalt and paved roads.
Use: Specifically designed for competition and high-intensity speed workouts, especially for medium to long distances.
To extend the lifespan and maintain the performance of your trainers:
Cleaning: Gently wipe away dirt and grime from the upper and midsole with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can damage materials.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
