Speed, Comfort, Responsiveness, Stability, Eco-friendly
You’ve just laced up the Puma Deviate NITRO™ 3 FADE, and the world ahead looks a little bit brighter, a little bit faster. These aren't just shoes; they’re your new best friends on the pavement. The Deviate 3 is all about speed and comfort, delivering an explosive and ultra-responsive experience whether you're pushing through a grueling training session or flying through a race.
The magic starts with the NITROFOAM™, an advanced nitrogen-infused foam that offers a lightweight yet incredibly responsive cushioning. Imagine running on a cloud that propels you forward with every stride. Pair that with the PWRPLATE technology – a carbon fiber plate designed to stabilize the midsole and maximize energy transfer – and you've got a shoe that feels like an extension of your own legs, making each step feel stronger and snappier.
These shoes don’t just perform; they care. The upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, marrying sustainability with top-notch engineering. The engineered mesh upper provides a snug, regular fit that adapts to a variety of foot strikes and patterns, keeping you comfortable regardless of your running style. The stack height of 39mm at the heel and 29mm at the toe, coupled with a 10mm heel-to-toe drop, gives you a perfect balance of cushioning and stability.
Weighing in at a featherlight 250 grams for a size UK8, these shoes won’t hold you back. They're recommended for neutral pronators, so if your foot strike is pretty standard, you’re in for a smooth ride. The vibrant Sun Stream-Sunset Glow-PUMA White colorway isn't just for show – it’s a reflection of the vibrant, dynamic energy these shoes are packed with.
At $160, the Deviate NITRO™ 3 FADE is more than just a purchase; it's an investment in your personal best, a ticket to faster, more exhilarating runs. If you're serious about running and crave that perfect blend of speed, comfort, and sustainability, these shoes are your perfect partner in crime.
