Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite Carbon Fiber Plate Racing Shoe

[@codykliethermes4952]

You don't have to cut it open. There are a few videos on some of the other running KZbin channels where a representative from puma shoes the plate. Very interesting shape.

[@fabsterun]

Just let him cut open the limited stock shoe . LoL

[@cha1ny104]

Agreed, check out the doctors of running episode with puma, they show the plate.

[@mintymus]

He will because the only thing he cares about is views...and cutting up a shoe will get views. Stupid, yes, but that's Seth's way.

[@nolanmckennaruns]

It could be his way of branching into a whole new category of videos: reaction videos. There is a lot to react to that he might not be able to be in person or get his hands on. Something like cutting it open could be that, but I could also see him doing race/training reaction videos, and new product reactions

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

GOOD MORNING DGR!!!! Monday Monday Monday! Have a great week ahead DGR, carrying all of you with me as we progress toward our next goals!

[@robin29991]

Why would you cut this shoe up?! There' s a Doctors of Running video where they show exactly what the components including the plate look like.

[@sganton]

QD: There is a particular feeling around 30-45mins into a run or race when I start picking up speed and my legs, heart, lungs are in sync and yet my mind feels very relaxed and very aware of beauty around me even though my body keeps going. While it is hard to put the feeling into words, taking the cue from music it is like "the road is the dance floor, the ceiling is the sky and I feel free".

[@garethevans2499]

Don't cut, wear for the MARATHON!

[@forgiveness2670]

QD: when running I don't really feel truly alive. I only feel truly alive after a really long run or a race. Physically and mentally I'm dead, my legs and body shaking, me wanting to just lay down on the concrete or dirt waiting for the pain to go away.. but I feel a great sense of accomplishment! Having gotten done with a hard long run or getting passed the pain and doing well in a race. That's when i truly feel alive. I'm running my first full Marathon in May and I can't wait to go for that feeling again.

[@smellysam]

Puma have images of the plate available. Don't cut, go win.

[@janetduback5161]

Don’t cut the shoe. Wear it for the marathon or wear it up to 200 miles. Way more interesting. Cutting the shoes is just not that interesting IMO. Someone made that shoe and most likely works some very long and hard hours. So many people would love to run in a shoe like that but can’t afford it. Race it or donate.

[@eulogyforadream]

Please do not destroy the shoe. It is wasteful and offensive. Nothing is learned from it. We would learn from it if you ran 200+ miles in it. The shoe has not been officially released and will be hard to get for a long time.

I think the weight score was a little harsh. It’s more like an average carbon plated shoe weight. 5.5 is a bit on the low side.

[@michaeldominic2070]

I was finally able to order the Deviate Nitro Elites on Saturday! I'm not holding my breath that we will be able to purchase these for a long time, at least in the US.

[@FooFloyDon]

I don’t mean to criticize, but pretty much all of your reviews are between 7.5 and 8 out of 10, it’s hard to judge and compare shoes from that in my opinion.

[@ronmagierka4745]

DO NOT CUT THAT SHOE OPEN!!!! Go Doctors of Running Puma Fast R and at about 30 minutes into the discussion the plate is shown.

[@TheVeganRunner]

It looks and sounds like an amazing shoe - hope it comes to the U.K. soon!

[@TheRahewitt]

5.5 / 10… feels harsh!! For the weight score

[@brotherjohn931]

Is he in the back-pocket of Nike?

[@TheRahewitt]

@@brotherjohn931 wouldn’t say so. Just every runner runs in the next percent 2 typically whilst stating there are better carbon shoes. I actually think Seth is as honest as there is out there to be fair!

[@NicolasVerschoren]

So besides the next% it has the lowest weight of all supershoes mentioned on screen, yet it only gets a 5,5/10?🤔

[@mintymus]

Seth really wanted to hate this shoe for some reason...maybe Puma didn't pay him enough.

[@Kats072307]

[@McFearless80]

I don't think this is a shoe to cut into unless you're expecting to get the final consumer version of it later on.

[@brotherjohn931]

This is an interesting point you raise: do the shoes (and plate) change between those given to the 'influencers' and those sold to the masses?

[@rahelwijeyekoon9403]

Seth only got it a 2-3 weeks ago and the shoe went on limited release in the NYC Puma store and in Europe last week, so he probably just got a regular production version rather than a pre-production sample.

[@grahamhowes3912]

Hi Seth. Great content (as usual)...these shoes look very interesting, the slo-mo footage makes them look super springy! I haven't been watching for a while (my sincerest apologies) because I've been deeply demotivated lately. As the rest of the world seems to be recovering from Covid and moving on to other things, my world seems to be falling apart. I need to remember the few things I have left that bring me joy, that includes running and watching your channel...you have (unknowingly) helped me through a few dark times in the past. I wish I had another way of expressing my gratitude to you, but for now, all I have are words...so thank you Seth, from the bottom of my heart, thank you. Keep doing what you do...you're a very special man.

[@brotherjohn931]

Seth, please address further the weight disparity in your size, between this shoe and the VaporFly, since that disparity is not reflected in the size 9 data released to the public.

[@andreasmaher8749]

There is a saying "youre never more alive than when your almost dead" and for me from an athletic perspective thats when I feel most alive. Either when Im cranking out some hurtful speed work or Im full gas during a race, its when that question starts to creep in to your head "can I hold this pace?" and I do is when Im athletically fully alive.

[@annestrock4917]

All I can think of when I see these carbone plate shoes is the old Reuther or beat boards we used in gymnastics back in the old days. There were no spring boards then. The beat boards used a curved piece of wood between the bottom and the inclined top. That's where the bounce came from.

[@JosephineMT]

QD: I truly alive is able to get up, turn that doorknob and go for a run even though I feel tired or not feeling great. The ability to run and appreciate beauty just give me a reason to look forward my day :).

[@JustinMulder1]

Don't cut the shoes Seth, would much rather see you run a marathon in them. Also they seem to be more of a comparison to the Alpha Fly's? QOD: I feel most alive when I get to spent time with the people I love out in nature and maybe cooking some food for them. In South Africa we call it a braai

[@scottishbarnss]

Maybe actually wear this for a race and not another Nike shoe for once, would be much more useful than cutting it open.

[@steveflor9942]

Great review. Love your enthusiasm. Thanks, Seth

[@dougmoore7424]

Seth, I’m VERY excited about this shoe. Although, I have to admit, I’m not sure why you didn’t like Atreyu artist more than you did a year ago. I’ve worn it for the last two marathons and crushed my PR’s. For $100, still can’t beat the price!

[@jamieerickson6660]

Doug, yes! The Artist is a great shoe for the $$$ and what you get back. Torn on which to wear on my next races. Next %. Speeds or The Artist???

[@tsubakichan]

It's worth noting that the bigger KZbin reviewers received a pre-production model with 1mm carbon plate, vs. the production model with 2mm. I don't know how much a difference that makes but you kinda have to look to consumers for an apples-to-apples look at it.

[@SethJamesDeMoor]

[@brotherjohn931]

@@SethJamesDeMoor Bingo? Please bring this type of info (on all shoe brands) to the forefront.

[@tsubakichan]

@@brotherjohn931 At the time of SJD's two Artist videos, Atreyu only said they'd tweak the production version to be firmer based on pre-prod feedback (and SJD said that in his first impression vid). It was months later that Atreyu announced how they would do that - by keeping the midsole the same, but upping the CF plate thickness. Not sure what you would have wanted from SJD? He didn't have the shoe anymore by that point.

I feel truly alive when surrounded by nature. Whether it's paddling a canoe on a wilderness lake, hiking in a lush forest or lying on a beach watching the waves rolling in, that's when I feel most at one with God and His Creation.

[@danielhillshafer5456]

Really interested in trying this one.

[@seegee1613]

I was lucky enough to get a pair. Super light, my toe box folded up as well. I put this right behind the vapor fly. I prefer this upper. The midsole pops so well, it looks unorthodox but if you lose your eyes you would know. I have them over 150 with 630 ish pace. They are wearing down on the outsole a little./

[@gelkeyano1911]

When will these be available to the rest of the US population????

[@KieranBrowneOfficial]

QD: Seth, I always feel truly alive whenever I'm in the middle of a race, because my body just has a powerful rush through it that I just don't get from anything else.

How big a difference is it between deviate elite and the fast-r?

[@JC_POV]

[@bhtrent]

Thanks for the great review. Really enjoy your videos in the morning. Question on the durability, does the 350 miles include energy return of the carbon plate? For example, next % energy return only last around ~100 miles before losing some snap but shoes (outsole) would last 300 miles before falling apart.

[@lmaoo4074]

In general in his reviews his durability score is based on full benefit of the shoe, so i am going to assume thats what he means. Light strike also seems to be much more durable than ZoomX, so durability should be much better. hope that helps.

[@worksbykeyes]

FYI you can get the next% 2 on Nike’s website for $180 right now

[@junglisttt]

So if the weight was better, this would be the only supershpe to score an 8 ever, yet it is the highest scoring supeshoe to date i believe, but seems like he still is using next % 2 for races and sessions, which scored lower.

[@overgrowncaterpillar]

I am jealous you're already in tshirt and shorts running weather

[@therunningtattooartist5172]

That odd plastic bit at the back could be for when you push the shoe off with your other foot?

[@mikhailpentz24]

Would be interesting if you cut the plate where it's exposed on the one shoe only and then compare how they react under foot. Even better if Brigid cuts it and doesn't tell you which shoe it is

The higher the risk; the smaller the margin for error, thats when I feel alive. I like standing at the edge of a tall clif. Heartbeat, breath, wind swaying my body, sun on my skin; every sensation is hightened; no unnecessary thoughts take up space. It's pure awareness of the present moment. Isn't it funny how the closer we are to death, the more clearly we know we are alive?
