FIRST LOOK: PUMA Deviate Elite 3

Now in its third iteration, PUMA continues to redefine speed on race day with the all new Deviate NITRO™Elite 3.

A shoe that has already been making statements on the road with its predecessors, the Deviate NITRO™Elite range is nothing short of iconic when it comes to the elite performance side of running, and this latest update is no different.

The Deviate NITRO™Elite 3 also comes at the same time as the launch of its training counterpart, the Deviate NITRO™3, giving you the ultimate edge for your shoe rotation and more successful training experience.

The Deviate NITRO™Elite 3 intends to bring home the speed on race day and has been designed for those on the pursuit for their next personal best.

Coming in at PUMA's lightest ever race day shoe, the Deviate NITRO™Elite 3 features more of PUMA's innovative NITROFOAM™Elite and an improved, stiffer carbon fibre PWR plate allowing wearers to unlock maximum speed.

Elite Level Midsole

The midsole of the NITRO™Elite 3 has been updated with a higher stack of improved NITRO™Elite foam - the elite version of PUMA's advanced nitrogen-infused foam technology - compared to it's 36mm/28mm predecessor.

As such, while we might expect an increase in weight as a result, the Deviate NITRO™Elite 3 comes in lighter than version 2, making this PUMA's lightest and most powerful race day shoe to date.

PWR Plate Propulsion

The carbon fibre PWR Plate running through the length of the NITRO™foam, offers an even smoother and more consistent source of speed thanks to the improvements in the plate's stiffness, resulting in a more explosive toe-off for maximum speed.

Enhanced Breathability

The Deviate NITRO™Elite 3 features a mono-mesh upper that has been designed to enhance breathability when the race pace arrives. PUMA PWRTAPE technology is also featured in prominent stress areas which helps to provide more targeted reinforcement, support and greater fixation of the foot in the shoe.

Complementing these updates is the PUMAGRIP rubber outsole, which provides the durability needed to ensure longevity without compromising on speed.
