Puma Deviate Nitro Elite Upper Unit
The upper of the Deviate Nitro Elite is made from the most transparent material I’ve ever seen on a running shoe and it’s also one of the most breathable.
It’s so transparent that you can clearly see your socks through the toe box so you need to make good sock choices when running in the Deviate Nitro Elite.
This material reminds me a lot of the plastic-like Vaporweave on the Vaporfly Next% but with a rough, matte texture. This mesh also repels water very well.
There are internal midfoot support straps which surround your feet on the lateral and medial sides but these straps aren’t connected to the tongue.
The tongue is flat and wide but it still slides around a lot and during runs, it slides down so far that I have to unite the laces to pull it back up.
The inside of the collar has a little bit of padding while the topline is very thin and flimsy. I found foot lockdown superb and the heel tab caused me no issues, even when using a runner’s knot.
You get a lot of reflectivity on the Deviate Nitro Elite- much more than other racing shoes. The entire eyestay is reflective as well as the silver strips on the collar.
The fit of the upper, which is a half size down from my normal size is a snug, racing fit however if you go true to size, the fit will be more accommodating and relaxed.
Overall, the upper of the Deviate Nitro Elite is very breathable, light and effective. The only thing I’d change is to add a semi-gusseted tongue to prevent the tongue slide and improve the fit.
What You Need To Know
- Weighs 9.1 oz. (258 g) for a US M9.0 (women’s currently not available to weigh)
- Midsole is made of Super Critical NITRO foam and carbon-composite INNOPLATE
- Drop is 8 mm (32 in heel, 24 in toe)
- Designed as a max cushion shoe with improved efficiency for long runs
- Also, file under things that make you go “holy sh*t” … is Molly Seidel now a Puma athlete, six months before Tokyo?
THOMAS: Like an inky cat slipping through the dark of the jungle, a couple years ago Puma seemed to disappear. Forced into exile by predatory foes, or simply the ebb and flow of a migratory species … nobody knew the fate of the Puma running shoe.
When they were on the prowl, we liked their running shoes. Hell, I’ve even run a marathon in the Puma Faas 500S. I would’ve put that model up against any other shoe available at the time. The last Puma running shoe we reviewed was the Puma Speed Ignite Netfit, which sounds like a dial-up internet service, but was actually a legit shoe.
Like a lot of Puma running shoes, the Netfit leaned hard into innovation. Where the Netfit upper was the news on that shoe, the Mobium Elite Speed had a midsole with bands that stretched and contracted with your stride. While all these things were kind of cool, the issue with Puma was that they would introduce technology into a shoe, but wouldn’t move forward with the line. Sometimes, it is better to shift, but with Puma it seemed like a new team was assembled for every project. It is hard to grow a fan base when consumers don’t know what will be coming next or if a favorite shoe will be updated and improved.
The Puma Deviate NITRO is the first offering in what we hope will be a cohesive line up of Puma running shoes. With a secretive Instagram account (@pumarunning), and some slight whispers of a comeback, we’re excited to see what’s rolled out in the coming months.
One more thing: There are even rumors of U.S. Olympic Marathon Trials runner-up Molly Seidel switching from Saucony to Puma (along with a whole crew of other elite runners). If true, that would prove to be a stunner leading up to the Tokyo Games. Let’s hope the brand is back to stay in the game.
WIDE FOOT JARRETT: Oh la la! Another standard width plated shoe for ol’ Jarrett to try?! Don’t mind if I do! Before I get started, I wanted to point out that the Deviate NITRO is pitched as a “max cushion shoe with improved efficiency for long runs,” so keep that in mind as the review goes forward.

The Good
THOMAS: The upper will immediately remind you of the Nike Turbo 2 upper. I mean, it looks like a clone of the thing, and we weren’t the only ones who noticed. We’re not complaining, as the Turbo 2 was one of our favorite trainers in recent memory. The engineered mesh is breathable and looks modern. The tongue is sleek and minimally padded. Best of all it is gusseted, so it stays in place and helps to improve the fit. While the upper fits true to size, there was enough room in the shoe to pass it onto Jarrett with his wide foot for testing. A non-gray shoe always gets Jarrett giddy.
The nitrogen-infused midsole is soft and feels lively throughout the gait cycle. Between the bouncy foam and the plate, the shoe really pops. The toe of the shoe has ample sticky rubber for a strong toe-off.
WIDE FOOT JARRETT: The engineered mesh upper is thin and very breathable. It has a minimal amount of overlays and lets the foot do its thing. For my wide feet, it has just enough room to allow me to run comfortably. It’s a little tight in the forefoot, but the lack of overlays keeps away any pressure points. I have to mention the gusseted tongue which probably has Thomas all hot and bothered. He’s so predictable…
The midsole is made up of Puma’s new NITRO foam. It’s a supercritical nitrogen-infused (think Skechers Hyper Burst or Brooks DNA FLASH) material that provides a light and bouncy ride. Sandwiched between two layers of NITRO foam is a carbon-infused plate Puma has named INNOPLATE. It didn’t feel super rigid or harsh on my legs.
I really like the midsole in the Deviate NITRO. It’s soft on the feet, but not unstable. Running was made easy. My toe-off was snappy from the plate, and my landing was soft courtesy of the NITRO foam. Puma needs to come out with some daily trainers with this midsole material. It would be a bigger hit than Willow Smith’s “Whip My Hair” (did you know this song made it to #11 on the US Billboard Hot 100?!).
The underfoot feel is extremely similar to the FuelCell RC Elite but with slightly more room and support under the arch. Continuing the New Balance comparison, the Deviate NITRO weighs in at 9.8 oz. for a size 10.5, which puts it .1 oz. under the FuelCell TC. It never felt heavy, but it doesn’t fit in with the light carbon racer super shoe category. That’s fine though as the price tag is $160 and not $200+.
The outsole of the forefoot and heel are covered with a rubber compound called PUMAGRIP. Is it an original name? Probably not. But who cares. It does its job to a T. I’ve had zero slips while running in the rain, on leaves, or side-stepping into the grass to avoid other people (social distancing like a pro).
I’m digging the blinding orange color. I know some people find these bright shoes to be obnoxious, but it just makes it look fast. They’re like the Rudolph of my sleigh team – I can find them in the blink of an eye since they stick out like a shining nose in the depressingly grey fog of my wide foot running shoe color palette.

Ход
Пена межподошвы за счёт отсутствия, кроме указанной пластины, твёрдых элементов, чувствуется однородной, что даёт хороший плавный ход и перекат.
Дроп в 8 мм позволяет комфортно бежать как с середины стопы, так и с пятки.
Кроссовок достаточно стабилен даже на не очень ровной поверхности
Мне в этих кроссовках одинаково удобно было проводить как медленные восстановительные тренировки по 6-6:30 мин/км, так и умеренные темповые по 4:30 и быстрее. Для более быстрых работ лучше использовать обувь пожёстче, так как отзывчивости на таких скоростях, по моим ощущениям, начинает не хватать: амортизация немного гасит темп.
Верх
У кроссовок бесшовный мелкосетчатый верх. Люверсы для шнурков, а также горловина усилены полиуретановыми элементами. Сами шнурки плоские, затягиваются и держат узел очень хорошо. На пятке имеется большой светоотражающий элемент.
Язычок вшит, причём мягкая ткань идёт не только по бокам, но и продолжается дальше, охватывая изнутри всю носовую часть. Получается, что носок и середина стопы вообще не касаются сетки. Это даёт очень хорошую, плотную посадку. На мою среднюю по ширине стопу кроссовок сел как влитой. Ничего не болталось и не перекашивалось даже при беге по неровной сыпучей грунтовке.
Жёсткой пятки в Deviate нет. Это может смутить любителей стабильной обуви, но мне нравятся такие модели, которые не вмешиваются в естественную биомеханику бега. Никаких экзоскелетов, твёрдых пластиковых вставок вы тут не найдёте. Пяточный стакан обрамлён лишь невысокой и довольно мягкой внутренней пластиковой конструкцией. Пятка спокойно проминается пальцем.
Задняя межподошвенная пластина в этих кроссовках должна давать определённую стабилизацию, но так как я всегда бегаю в нейтральной обуви, то особой поддержки не почувствовал. Как будут ощущать себя в Puma Deviate гиперпронаторы и люди с нестабильным голеностопом, сказать не могу. Предположу, что не очень, так как модель выраженно нейтральная.
Мне устойчивости в этих кроссовках было полностью достаточно. Пружинистая, но не вязкая пена вкупе с карбоновой пластиной давала превосходную для нейтральных амортизационных кроссовок стабильность даже на неровной поверхности в парке.
Вокруг пяточной горловины и на верхе язычка есть мягкие подушечки. Они довольно небольшие. Тем, кто любит массивные валики типичных амортизационных моделей других брендов, этих подушечек может показаться недостаточно. Мне их более чем хватило – как раз то, что нужно для хорошей фиксации верха без лишнего утяжеления и громоздкости.
Над этими подушечками верх кроссовка истончается, превращаясь в своего рода невысокую гетру. Она мягкая, бархатистая на ощупь, сделана из искусственной замши и совершенно не натирает. Однако всем тем, кто привык бегать в очень низких носках, рекомендую носить с этой парой носки немного повыше.
Есть опасение, что при длительном беге совсем низкие носки сползут или замнутся под верх, что вместе с попаданием пыли и потоотделением может привести к мозолям.
FIT, FEEL, RIDE
The PUMA Deviate Nitro fits true to size with a narrow heel, medium-volume midfoot and slightly wider forefoot. It’s all brought together with a locked-down, wrap-around sensation. This is made possible by the lightweight, flexible upper, fully gusseted tongue, cushy footbed and unique heel-locking system.
There’s only a little room for the toes to wiggle and splay, but enough to make it functionally comfortable. The step-in feel is a combination of comfortable softness and wrap-around security. It gives an immediate sense of firmness in the chassis of the shoe.
The firm feeling stems the stability-enhancing plate in the heel and the forward-momentum plate in the forefoot.
Общая информация
Puma Velocity Nitro – это нейтральный тренировочный кроссовок, базовая модель в беговой линейке бренда, призванная подойти большей части спортивной любительской аудитории. Поэтому он сделан максимально сбалансированным и умеренным во всех проявлениях.
Технические характеристики кроссовка:
- достаточная амортизация, способная удовлетворить практически любого бегуна, кроме очень тяжёлых,
- умеренный вес: в стандартном размере 8 UK – 257 г, а в моём 10,5 US – ровно 300 г,
- универсальный дроп: перепад между пяткой и носком в 8 мм,
- качественная дышащая сетка верха,
- цепкая, почти полностью закрывающая низ подошвы резиновая подмётка,
- классическая шнуровка,
- сдержанный фирменный дизайн.
Поговорим обо всех этих элементах подробнее.
Puma Deviate Nitro Elite Intro
If you had told me 1 year ago that Puma would have a carbon fibre super shoe capable of competing with the fastest marathon super shoes on the market, I would never have believed you.
Puma has been the surprise brand of 2021, launching a complete range of 5 innovative running shoes built on their new Nitro Foam which are all competitively priced.
The Deviate Nitro Elite is the racing companion to its training companion, the Deviate Nitro. So what are the differences between the two?
The Deviate Nitro Elite uses Nitro Elite Foam which is a PEBA based foam compared to Nitro Foam used in the Deviate Nitro which is made from non-EVA raw materials.
The carbon plate in the Deviate Nitro Elite is a 100% carbon plate which is supposed to be stiffer and lighter compared to the carbon composite plate in the Deviate Elite.
The outsole rubber on the Deviate Nitro Elite is also lighter and less durable compared to PUMAGRIP on the Deviate Nitro and finally its upper is more minimal and has less structure than the upper of the Deviate Nitro.
The Deviate Nitro Elite weighs 6.8 oz which is a mammoth 2.6 oz less than the Deviate Nitro and it costs $200.
So just how good is Puma’s most expensive, most innovative, fastest running shoe ever and is it worth paying the extra $40 over the Deviate Nitro?
About product
PRODUCT STORY
Maximum performance for any distance. The DEVIATE NITRO is a cushioned silhouette that innovates the trend of max performance running shoes built to make running faster easier. The NITRO Foam and entire shoe are very light for the amount of responsive cushioning. Running economy is maximized via the carbon fibre propulsion INNOPLATE that acts as a lever to propel you forward with each stride. The DEVIATE NITRO improves efficiency for long runs, and is the perfect choice for max cushioning up to and including the marathon.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
- NITRO Foam: PUMA’s NITRO Foam technology offers the perfect balance between light weight and responsiveness
- INNOPLATE: PUMA’s carbon fibre propulsion plate acts as a lever to propel you forward
- PUMAGRIP: PUMA’s durable rubber compound that provides all-surface traction
DETAILS
- Low boot silhouette
- Breathable engineered mesh upper
- NITRO FOAM midsole
- PUMAGRIP RUBBER outsole for all-surface traction
- Carbon fibre INNOPLATE for energy transfer
- Lightweight, breathable tongue
- Lace closure for a snug fit
- TPU heel piece for stability
- Reflective branding and spoiler
- PUMA Formstrip on lateral side
Подошва
Она состоит из фирменной пены Nitro, карбоновой пластины Innoplate и небольшой выступающей круговой вставки из термополиуретана в задней части. Последняя сделана для стабильности. Всё это вместе работает одновременно на амортизацию, упругий отскок и быстрый перекат.
Пеноматериал Nitro, как понятно из названия, – это улучшенная EVA, при производстве которой используется азот (nitrogen) как порообразующее средство. Материал получается мягким, но без «плюшевости», пружинистым и довольно стабильным.
Тренировочные планы к марафону и полумарафону. Скачайте и начните подготовку сегодня.
Кроме пружинящей пены, выталкивающее свойство карбоновой пластины начисто убивает чувство вязкости. Пластина здесь более плоская, чем у большинства подобных кроссовок других брендов, и не такая жёсткая. При попытке согнуть кроссовок создаётся заметное впечатление твёрдости подошвы, но не такое сильное, как у других карбоновых собратьев. За счёт этого Puma Deviate гораздо лучше подходит для среднего любителя с его диапазоном не самых высоких скоростей.
В этих кроссовках можно одинаково комфортно бегать как очень медленно, так и с хорошим для непрофессионала темпом. Соответственно, если вам нужна максимально заряженная на скоростной результат модель, то стоит присмотреться к другой обуви.
Эти же кроссовки занимают на данный момент практически пустую «карбоновую» нишу под гоночными «рейсерами», являя собой отличный пример как тренировочной пары для сильных любителей и даже профиков, так и основной соревновательной для марафонцев-любителей, бегущих в очень широком диапазоне скоростей.
Для по-настоящему быстрых кроссовок у Puma Deviate большой вес – 268 г в размере 8 UK. В моём размере 10,5 US они потянули на 310 г. Однако для тренировочных моделей с хорошей амортизацией это очень неплохой показатель.
Кроме того, у Deviate цепкая фирменная подмётка PumaGrip, покрывающая большую часть подошвы. Это очень хорошо для обуви, предназначенной для больших беговых объёмов, так как не только даёт хорошее сцепление, но и значительно продлевает жизнь кроссовок.
Подмётка PumaGrip отлично держит на мокром асфальте и утоптанной грунтовке – за всё время тестирования не было никаких намёков на проскальзывание или неплотное держание.

Puma Deviate Nitro Conclusion
Puma Deviate Nitro – Heel
Considering this is Puma’s first foray into the serious running market in years, it is a decent offering.
There are lots of positives and I honestly enjoyed running in these shoes for almost every run I did. However, this is not a perfect shoe by any means.
The carbon plate it not nearly as noticeable as the nylon plate in the Endorphin Speeds. I only really felt the snap of the plate if I was truly digging in and pushing the pace.
Sure, it was there, but I don’t really feel like it added to this shoe. The roll design of the toe-box and the nitro cushion would be enough to feel the push forward.
In fact, I think Puma made a better product with their next tier down (Velocity Nitro).
The heel of the upper is a problem. I believe I didn’t feel the slippage because of my wider heel and use of the heel-lockdown lacing.
However, this is an issue I’ve heard from multiple runners and seen on many other reviews. And just how much debris enters the shoe has been very annoying.
In the end, this shoe is enjoyable. I think it truly shined when going for double-digit runs. There’s lots of cushion and plenty of push-back from the nitro material for the LSD days.
However, I don’t think this shoe will stay in my rotation as I get more review offerings for anything other than the LSD days. It serves its purpose, its a good first offering.
But Puma needs to make some changes before it rivals something like the Endorphin Speeds. In fact, if you’ve got $160 to spend on a plated trainer, go get the Speeds.
The Bad
THOMAS: In my first run I noticed a little heel slip, but it isn’t that bad. During the second run I was on the treadmill, and the little slip turned into a small fire on my heel. On the third run, I made sure to use a thicker sock, and still I had some irritation.
The cushioning in the heel is somewhat unstable, likely due to the decently high stack of supercritical foam. It appears that Puma tried to give it more structure with a plastic plate that sticks out beyond the perimeter of the midsole, but it’s still a little squirrely for me.
WIDE FOOT JARRETT: The heel is frustrating. I never surpassed 6 miles in the shoe. Not because of the width, but because of the heel. Not only is the collar loose and sloppy, but there is also padding present on each side of the heel. Even with the heel lock lacing, I’m getting some slip which causes rubbing on both sides of my heel on both feet. I’ve pulled the lacing so tight that it digs into my ankle. This helped, but by mile 4 or 5, my stride had turned into hopping around trying to run in a way that the shoe doesn’t move much.
Not to deduct any points for someone with standard width feet, but to my wide foot fam, this shoe is tighter in the forefoot compared to some of the other plated shoes I’ve worn.

Puma Deviate Nitro Elite Conclusion
Puma Deviate Nitro Elite – Heel+Lateral
The Puma Deviate Nitro Elite is not what the kids these days call a “game changer”. It doesn’t feel special in any way and it doesn’t do any one thing better than any other super shoe.
It does however tick a lot of boxes: it’s durable, it’s stable, it packs enough soft cushioning for a full marathon and it has no major flaws.
The Deviate Nitro Elite’s biggest draw is its insanely low weight. At 6.8 oz, it’s bettered by only the Vaporfly Next% 2. It’s a lot more durable than the Vaporfly though and costs $50 less.
It’s also cheaper than the Alphafly Next%, the Metaspeed Sky/Edge, the Hyperion Elite 2 and the RC Elite v2 so it represents excellent value for a carbon fibre racer.
I love training in the Deviate Nitro Elite because of how versatile it is and how forgiving its ride is. It doesn’t give me any stiff calves or foot pain because it doesn’t have a jarring ride but I wouldn’t race in the Deviate Nitro Elite because it’s a little too soft and just doesn’t provide enough pop when it comes to propulsion at toe-off.
Hopefully Puma can change this with the Deviate Nitro Elite 2 by increasing the stack height, making the plate more aggressive and increasing the toe-spring.
If I could only choose one shoe between the Deviate Nitro and the Deviate Nitro Elite, I’d choose the Deviate Nitro Elite even though it’s $40 more expensive. It’s much lighter, has a more comfortable upper and a softer ride.
If you do get both the Deviate Nitro and the Deviate Nitro Elite, the two shoes are a training-racing combination which compliment each other perfectly and go together like peaches and cream.
Puma Deviate Nitro Intro
Puma has been a brand that has been out of the spotlight when it comes to running shoes for quite some time. When people ask for recommendations on running shoes, they aren’t a company that even remotely comes to mind.
However, in the past year, the company has made a real effort to get back into the game of mainstreams running shoes.
For doing this, Puma decided to go the route of Skechers and double-down on Nitro foam. And just like how Skechers have gained popularity and respect, Puma has hit the mark with their newest offerings.
With the advent of the plated-racer and plated-trainer, Puma jumped into the game with the Deviate line. They have released the Deviate Elite, the racer level, and the Deviate Nitro, the trainer.
This plated trainer will go up against the likes of the Saucony Endorphin Speed ($160), NIke Tempo Next% ($200), Hoka One One Carbon X ($180), and New Balance FuelCell TC ($200).
At $160, the Deviate most closely compares to the Endorphin Speed, my favorite shoe of 2020, but it doesn’t quite hit the same mark.
