Puma Velocity Nitro 3 GORE-TEX Running Shoes
Embark on your running journey with the Velocity Nitro 3 GORE-TEX, Puma's hero franchise featuring NITROFOAM cushioning. Sleek styling, outstanding comfort, and a slightly higher stack height make it the ideal do-it-all trainer.
Breathable Mesh Upper
The upper of the Puma Velocity Nitro 3 has been constructed using a breathable mesh material to provide optimum breathability and comfort. The perforations within the fabric allow cool air to flow, whilst hot muggy air escapes, providing a cooling sensation as you move and a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive. Not only this, but the upper is highly durable thanks to its construction, leaving you with shoes that are built to last. A GORE-TEX membrane has been integrated into the upper providing exceptional protection. GORE-TEX works by allowing small molecules out, such as heat and vapour and blocking larger molecules from entering, such as water. This helps keep your feet dry from the outside and the inside, as sweat is eliminated. On the instep of the shoes, Puma has added PWRTAPE, which has been designed to provide structure to the shoe as well as support the foot and reduce in-shoe movement. Further increasing support, the shoes also feature a TPU heel spoiler which helps stop the ankle from rolling inwards. The Puma Velocity Nitro 3 has a traditional lacing system that offers a secure, locked-in feel as you run.
NITRO Foam Midsole
The midsole of the Velocity Nitro 3 has been created using a NITRO Foam midsole. This is a nitrogen-infused Peba foam, that is a lightweight and springy foam providing you with high energy return and responsiveness. Infusing nitrogen into the foam, Puma has been able to expand their midsoles, by doing so the shoes are extremely comfortable underfoot whilst also providing maximum propulsion with each step, letting you run further and faster with ease. Not only will the foam help propel you forward helping you to hit those PBs but it also absorbs shocks and negative impact forces as you strike hard unforgiving surfaces, by doing so this reduces stress on the joints and the risk of injury.
PUMAGRIP Outsole
Finishing the Velocity Nitro, Puma have used their PUMAGRIP rubber compound in the construction of the outsole, which combines superior traction with durability. Strategically placed, the rubber forms a solid connection with a wide range of surfaces, even when wet or dry, giving you the confidence to run whatever the weather. The strong connection with the ground will also provide a firm base for you to push off from, allowing for a more efficient gait cycle.
