PUMA DEVIATE NITRO ELITE v3 SHOE TRAIL
Posted on December 20 2024
This month we invited a few of our speedier Gone Runners to come along to Happy Valley to try out the fabulous PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite v3.
PUMA are making a very big play to get back to being competitive and relevant in performance running and the Deviate Nitro Elite v3 is their go to marathon shoe. Comparable to say the New Balance Supercomp Elite v4 of the adidas Pro 4 which will soon be launched
All of our try out athletes are accomplished marathon runners and well aware of the competition out there. the majority are NIKE runners.... so how would the Elite 3 stack up.?
This is what our athletes had to say about the shoe.
I personally have been running and training in the shoe for a couple of weeks now and what strikes me is the sheer lightness of the shoe. At 194g it is super light on your feet.
Secondly the bounce of the midsole foam is spectacular. Particularly forefoot cushioning is really good.
Also for a super shoe with an incredible responsive (and therefore soft) midsole it is also remarkably stable. The carbon plate really does keep the shoe aligned.
The upper is light and almost transparent so wear your brightest socks! ..... This is a shoe I find myself picking up even for an easy few kms. It feels very versatile and superbly responsive.
