This shoe delivers exceptional lightweight propulsion and responsiveness, thanks to its advanced cushioning and carbon fiber plate technology, ensuring you hit your turbo speed.

The PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite 3 is built to excel when speed and efficiency are paramount. On the track or road, the combination of NITROFOAM ELITE and the PWRPLATE provides a sensation of powerful propulsion, making each stride feel more effortless and dynamic. This synergy helps runners maintain high speeds with less perceived effort, making it an ideal choice for setting new personal bests in 5Ks, 10Ks, or even marathons.
The ULTRAWEAVE upper contributes to a 'barely there' feel, reducing distractions and friction over long distances. During high-speed efforts, the secure fit keeps your foot locked in, preventing slippage. The PUMAGRIP rubber outsole ensures reliable traction, providing confidence when cornering or running on slightly wet surfaces. For example, during a tempo run on varied urban pavements, you'll experience consistent grip and a stable platform, allowing you to focus purely on your pace and form. This shoe truly shines when you need that extra edge to push your limits.
Getting started with your PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite 3 shoes is straightforward. Simply slip them on and adjust the laces to achieve a snug, comfortable, and secure fit. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find what best suits your foot shape and running style, ensuring optimal lockdown without excessive pressure points.
These shoes are designed for road running, track workouts, and competitive racing. They pair well with technical running socks that offer moisture-wicking properties and prevent blisters. While the PUMAGRIP offers multi-surface traction, these shoes are not typically recommended for technical trail running due to their lightweight, road-specific design.
To ensure longevity and maintain performance:
Cleaning: After runs, especially in wet or muddy conditions, gently brush off loose dirt. For deeper cleaning, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or tumble dryers, as this can deform materials and degrade cushioning properties. You can stuff them with newspaper to absorb moisture and help maintain their shape.
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can affect material integrity.
Rotation: For competitive runners, consider rotating these race-specific shoes with a more cushioned daily trainer to maximize their lifespan and reduce wear.
