Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2

Beginner

This shoe is not recommended as a first primary shoe for beginners. The rebound and propulsion are quite strong, and if your landing, cadence, and running form are not yet stable, it may be difficult to adapt to, making it unsuitable as a shoe to 'start running steadily'.

User Review Summary

Featuring NITRO Elite foam + full-length carbon plate (PWRPLATE) + PUMAGRIP rubber outsole, this shoe is designed for racing, high-performance running, competition, tempo runs, intervals, and short-to-medium distances. Stack height is approximately 36–35mm heel and 26–30mm forefoot, with a drop of about 8–9mm. The midsole is very soft with strong energy return, rated as softer and more responsive than the first generation. Officially positioned as a race-day/competition/PR-chasing shoe.
