Puma Fast-R NITRO Elite 3

The PUMA Fast-R NITRO Elite 3 is a no-compromise super shoe built to chase personal bests from the 10K to the marathon, with a ride that feels unapologetically race-day. Its distinctive split, decoupled platform and extended plate create a springboard sensation that rewards quick turnover and a forward landing, while the latest NITROFOAM Elite brings a softer, bouncier feel than earlier versions without losing that snappy edge. Wrapped in an ultra-minimal upper and finished with PUMA’s trusted grip, it’s designed for fast runners who want maximum efficiency when the pace is on.
