PUMA's NITRO foams power a strong, often well-priced range: the Velocity and MagMax daily shoes, the Deviate super trainers, the Fast-R racers and PUMAGRIP rubber that grips well in the wet.

PUMA's most radical racer, with a split midsole, big rocker and extended toe for an aggressive, propulsive ride. It rewards forefoot strikers with good form running at race pace.
A plateless take on the Deviate, around 30g lighter than the Deviate Nitro 4, with a balanced NITRO foam ride. It copes with everything from recovery jogs to steady long runs and progression sessions.
A light, traditional 10mm-drop trainer with a full NITRO foam midsole and very grippy PUMAGRIP rubber. Snappier and firmer than PUMA's rockered shoes, and good value for everyday and quicker runs.
A very light carbon-plated racer for 5K to the marathon with a stable, controlled ride and a gentler rocker than the Fast-R. Priced below most rival super shoes in the UK.
PUMA's premium cushioned trainer now uses a full-length PEBA-based NITRO foam for a soft, bouncy and fairly light ride. It suits easy and steady running more than faster sessions.
A carbon-plated trainer with a dual-layer NITRO foam midsole that handles tempo work and long runs equally well. Less aggressive than a race shoe, which makes it an easy one-shoe option.

PUMA's tallest-stacked trainer, now much lighter than the original and surprisingly stable for its height. Best for easy, recovery and long runs rather than anything quick.
PUMA's stability trainer, rebuilt with a dual-density PEBA-blend NITRO foam, a wider platform and a guiding heel. It is steady and well cushioned for daily and easy long runs, but not built for speed.
An ultralight, low-stack carbon racer built for 5K to 10K speed. It is fast and grippy for short efforts but has too little foam for half or full marathons.
A trail version of the Velocity Nitro with NITROFOAM cushioning and a full-rubber outsole for mixed routes. It is a value pick for road-to-path running rather than technical terrain.
A cushioned NITROFOAM road-to-trail shoe with deep-lugged PUMAGRIP rubber and a structured, overlaid upper. It grips well and feels secure, though it is not light and has no rock plate.
