The Puma Velocity Nitro 4 is engineered for optimal performance during your daily training sessions on asphalt. Its core strength lies in the NITROFOAM™ midsole, which delivers a responsive and energetic ride, propelling you forward with each step. This makes it ideal for maintaining a consistent pace during long-distance runs or picking up the tempo for faster intervals.
The PUMAGRIP outsole ensures reliable traction across various asphalt conditions, from dry pavements to slightly damp surfaces, providing a secure grip you can trust. The shoe's lightweight construction, combined with its 10mm heel offset and balanced 36mm/26mm stack height, caters specifically to neutral pronators, offering a smooth and efficient transition through the gait cycle. The breathable engineered mesh upper keeps your feet cool and comfortable, even during intense workouts, while the PWRTAPE and TPU heel piece work in conjunction to provide a stable and locked-in feel, crucial for confident strides. Whether you're logging base miles or working on speed, the Velocity Nitro 4 aims to blend comfort with performance to elevate your running experience.
Your Puma Velocity Nitro 4 trainers come ready to wear. Simply loosen the laces, slide your foot in, and adjust the lacing for a snug, comfortable fit. The lacing system is designed to provide a secure lockdown, enhanced by the PWRTAPE reinforcement in the upper.
These shoes are recommended for neutral pronators. They are specifically designed for asphalt surfaces, making them an excellent choice for road running and daily training on paved paths. They are suitable for adult males, with specific sizing available (e.g., UK 11).
To ensure the longevity and performance of your Velocity Nitro 4 trainers:
Cleaning: Gently wipe the upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing, which can damage the materials.
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to warp or crack.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
Composition & Specifics: Always refer to the care label inside the shoes for precise composition details and specific care recommendations from the manufacturer.
