Puma Deviate 4 - Lightweight carbon racing for tempo and race day

The Puma Deviate 4 brings high-performance racing technology in a package 15g lighter than its predecessor. Built for runners who refuse to compromise on speed, this tempo and race-day shoe features enhanced NITROFOAM™ for superior energy return, a carbon composite PWRPLATE for propulsion, and breathable engineered mesh—engineered to help you push harder through fast training runs and crush race-day performances.

Enhanced NITROFOAM™ for Responsive Energy

Innovative nitrogen-infused foam technology creates lightweight responsiveness with substantial cushioning underfoot. This enhanced NITROFOAM™ delivers improved energy return compared to previous versions, transforming impact into forward momentum whilst maintaining the maximal cushioning needed for sustained fast efforts. The foam stays lively through tempo runs and race distances, keeping legs fresh when maintaining threshold pace matters most.

PWRPLATE Carbon Composite for Propulsion

The carbon composite PWRPLATE provides propulsive power whilst maintaining enough flexibility for fast training runs—not just race day. This engineered plate design helps you carry speed efficiently, encouraging smooth transitions and reducing the energy cost of maintaining pace. Combined with the responsive foam, the plate creates a dynamic platform that works whether you're drilling tempo intervals or racing personal bests.

Built for Speed and Traction

The breathable engineered mesh upper keeps weight minimal whilst providing secure containment during high-speed running. PUMAGRIP outsole uses durable rubber compound for multi-surface traction, maintaining grip on roads, tracks, and varied surfaces. At 15g lighter than the Deviate 3, every detail prioritises speed without sacrificing the maximal cushioning neutral runners need. The upper incorporates at least 20% recycled materials, combining performance with environmental consideration.

Is the Deviate 4 right for you?

Neutral runners chasing faster times from 10K upwards will appreciate what the Deviate 4 offers. The carbon composite plate with enhanced nitrogen-infused foam works whether you're grinding tempo repeats Tuesday or toeing the start line Sunday. Particularly effective for athletes running multiple quality sessions weekly who want one versatile speed shoe—not a delicate race-only option collecting dust between events. That 15g weight reduction and maximal cushioning mean you're covered for high-volume fast running.
