Strong performance with strong PUMA footwear
We will equip our athletes on site with our latest Nitro technology, making their shoes and spikes even lighter and more competitive. For Norwegian hurdler and world record holder Karsten Warholm, we have developed the ultimate hurdle shoe, the evoSPEED Naio NITRO.
There are also improved versions of the gold-medal-winning PUMA evoSPEED Nitro Elite and several new products for long-distance runners. The evoSPEED Distance Nitro Elite+ 2 spike uses PUMA’s proprietary NITRO foam and a PWRPLATE for exceptional energy return and is aimed at events ranging from 800m to 10,000m.
PUMA’s road racing athletes can choose from the DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 2, which is even lighter than its predecessors and also features a new last, or the futuristic and aggressively designed FAST-R NITRO Elite, which uses NITRO Elite technology and a PWRPLATE to support an efficient run.
