Made to make the hard miles fly by, the Deviate NITRO™ is a fast, explosive and comfortable running shoe for training and racing.

What makes the Deviate NITRO™ lineup a strong choice for fast tempo sessions compared with traditional daily sneakers?

When you compare these designs to conventional everyday sneakers, they were made, first and foremost, for performance.

How does the Deviate NITRO Elite carbon-infused plate enhance energy return for competitive runners?
Every step counts when you’re running for speed, and to achieve new levels of agility and pace, our signature carbon-infused plate works like a dream. It’s like a dynamic spring underfoot, optimising your energy output by storing and releasing power with each step - which is where we got the name PWRPLATE from.
They boost forward momentum to give you a more powerful, propulsive sensation that helps competitive runners hold faster paces with less perceived effort. No matter whether you’re lacing up for training or a big race day, this enhanced energy return can make tempo shifts and surges feel smoother and more responsive and make the difference when it comes to crossing the finish line first.

How does the Deviate’s engineered mesh and heel geometry support long-distance stability on Australian road surfaces?
When you’re running along the roadside, or hitting up the footpath, PUMA Deviate NITRO™ running shoes are designed with mesh uppers to wrap the foot with targeted support that doesn’t sacrifice breathability, while the heel geometry stabilises your stride for an even tempo. This carefully designed combination of shoe architecture helps to reduce unwanted movement inside the shoe while you’re out training to deliver a secure fit, even on the varied road surfaces common in Australia’s suburbs and park routes.
