Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 2 Running Shoes
Built to help you break your PB, Fast-R Nitro Elite 2 utilises the enhanced benefits of Nitro Elite technology. It provides unbeatable speed and cushioning, propelling your race day to new territories, from short runs to marathons and every distance between.
ULTRAWEAVE Upper
Made from Puma's ULTRAWEAVE Upper, the Fast-R Nitro Elite 2's have an ultra-light construction, designed to keep your feet comfortable, lightweight and ventilated. The upper materials have a 4-way stretch design that reduces weight and allows the foot to move comfortably providing a perfect sock-like fit. The perforations within the fabric allow cool air to flow, whilst hot muggy air escapes, providing a cooling sensation as you move and a drier, healthier environment for your feet to thrive in. Not only this, but the upper is highly durable thanks to its construction, leaving you with shoes that are built to last. On the instep of the shoes, Puma has added PWRTAPE, which has been designed to provide structure and support, whilst also providing you with protection in areas that are more high-wearing. Finally, the traditional laces provide a secure, locked-in feel as you move.
NITROFOAM ELITE Midsole
Showcasing a unique, lightweight design, the midsole of the Fast-R Nitro Elite 2 has been created using Puma's most elite foam, NITROFOAM ELITE. This is a nitrogen-infused foam, which is lightweight and springy, providing you with high energy return and responsiveness. By infusing nitrogen into the foam, Puma has been able to expand their midsoles, by doing so the shoes are extremely comfortable underfoot whilst also providing maximum propulsion with each step, letting you run further and faster with ease. Not only will the foam help propel you forward helping you to hit those PBs, but it also absorbs shocks and negative impact forces as you strike down on hard unforgiving surfaces. By doing so, it reduces stress on the joints and the risk of injury. This midsole compound provides 22% more energy storage than their predecessors and up to 46% more raw energy return, providing an exceptionally lightweight, more economical ride, saving you minutes on your marathon. Also, the exposed PWRPLATE, a carbon-fibre plate that enhances energy return and forward propulsion, extends through the midsole, keeping you focused on your target.
PUMAGRIP Outsole
Made using PUMAGRIP materials on the outsole, the shoes have maximum levels of grip on multiple surfaces, allowing you to step out and conquer the racecourse with confidence in achieving speed. This outsole construction combines hardness for durability and softness for grip, thanks to a construction optimised specifically for wet grounds.
