The Puma Velocity Nitro 4 excels as a versatile daily trainer for neutral runners, performing optimally on asphalt. Its NITROFOAM midsole delivers a springy, energetic ride that makes each step feel lighter and faster, perfect for both easy jogs and tempo runs. For example, during a 5k park run, you'll notice the responsive cushioning aiding your push-off, while the PUMAGRIP outsole provides dependable grip even on slightly damp paths or varied urban surfaces. The engineered mesh upper ensures your feet remain cool and comfortable throughout your run, while PWRTAPE gives you a secure fit, minimizing foot movement inside the shoe. This combination allows you to push your limits, adapting efficiently to different paces and distances in your regular training routine.

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your shoes:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dirt. For the outsole, use a brush to clear any trapped debris. Air dry at room temperature; avoid direct heat or sunlight.

Drying: If your shoes get wet, stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape. Allow them to air dry naturally.
