I have never been a puma guy ever, but the silhouette of the shoe is really speaking to me. It screams that it is meant for an individual who would rather stand out more.

Puma running shoes are very underrated. I bought the Velocity Nitro 2 one year ago and I've run 800km with them. I bought the Nike Pegasus ate the same time and I've only ran 200km with them, and that show how much I prefer the Velocity Nitro 2 than the Pegasus 39. And they are always on sale, so I payed 55€ (60USD or so) which was a real bargain. I have 3 more pairs of shoes for my "normal" runs and I use the Puma most of the time. They're great, I'll buy the Deviate Nitro 2 as my interval training shoe, they're very comfortable and quite cheap because they're on sale very often.

Thanks. As a Puma guy, that was great. I would also add the Magnify 2 in there as an alternative to the ForeverRun. I have both and the ForeverRun is the more stable of the two, but I really like the Magnify 2 for the comfort and the upper.

Theres a video on Mollys YT channel called ”getting scientifically faster”, where they’re testing a new Puma racing shoe. They were doing the comparison runs between this new Fast-R 2 and the new mystery shoe. In the end when they looked at the data, the mystery shoe turned out to be noticeably more efficient compared to Fast-R 2. By zooming in on the blurred shoe names, you can pick out certain letters, to a point where you can quite easily figure it out to be the upcoming Deviate Nitro Elite 3, possibly ready for the Paris Olympics(?)
@brianway42407 ай бұрын
I haven't seen the video but I totally believe the story. Thing is, the Deviate Elite will be faster for some people and the Fast-R will be for others. If you're the one on the treadmill designing it, it will be designed for you.
