Puma Deviate Nitro 4
The fourth Deviate Nitro continues the plated super-trainer formula with Nitro Elite foam and a PWRPLATE for versatile training. It remains a strong single-shoe option covering easy days through tempo work. Expect refinement over revolution versus version 3.
Reach for the Puma Deviate Nitro 4 for everyday training miles, long runs and tempo days and intervals. It's a neutral shoe, best for runners with an efficient stride who don't need pronation support. The tall, soft stack favors comfort over ground feel. That's great for high mileage and bigger runners, less so for racing snappiness.
- Versatile plated training ride
- Durable and grippy outsole
