PUMA Deviate NITRO Elite 4 - 12% Lighter, Built for Race Day

The Deviate NITRO Elite 4 is PUMA's carbon-plated racing shoe engineered for moments when every second counts. Upgraded NITROFOAM™ Elite delivers elite responsiveness, whilst a re-engineered carbon fibre PWRPLATE channels energy forward with enhanced efficiency. At 12% lighter than the Deviate Elite 3, this is a shoe built for race day performance where weight savings and propulsion combine to help you hold goal pace from start to finish.

NITROFOAM™ Elite and Re-Engineered PWRPLATE

NITROFOAM™ Elite is PUMA's premium performance foam technology, providing pinnacle responsiveness in an extremely lightweight package. The foam returns energy with every footstrike whilst maintaining protection across race distances. A re-engineered carbon fibre PWRPLATE sits within the 40mm heel / 32mm forefoot stack, engineered to maximise energy transfer and deliver a propulsive ride. The plate geometry has been refined to channel energy forward more efficiently than the previous version, particularly noticeable during the later stages of races when maintaining pace requires maximum efficiency.

ULTRAWEAVE Upper for Ultra-Lightweight Feel

The ULTRAWEAVE upper delivers an ultra-lightweight feel without sacrificing structure or lockdown. This material construction keeps weight minimal whilst providing the support needed during race-pace efforts. Rounded toe design and laces offer a regular fit, whilst the flat heel type maintains stability through the gait cycle. The neutral pronation support suits runners with normal foot mechanics.

PUMAGRIP All-Surface Traction

PUMAGRIP, a durable performance rubber compound, is designed for all-surface traction. The outsole maintains grip across dry and wet road surfaces, providing confident footing during cornering and acceleration. Maximum cushioning in the stack height delivers protection across race distances from 5K through to marathon, whilst the lightweight construction (12% lighter than Deviate Elite 3) ensures the shoe doesn't feel heavy underfoot despite the generous stack.
