Product Information
Full details
The Puma Deviate Nitro 3 Trainers are designed for adult male runners seeking enhanced propulsion and a responsive feel for their everyday training runs. Featuring PUMA's innovative NITRO™ foam and a PWRPLATE carbon fiber plate, these trainers offer a snappy ride that injects speed into every stride. A potential consideration is that these trainers are recommended for neutral pronators, meaning they may not offer the ideal support for overpronators. Key features include advanced nitrogen-injected foam for superior responsiveness and cushioning, a carbon fiber plate for stability and energy transfer, and an engineered mesh upper made with at least 20% recycled materials.

FAQs
What is NITROFOAM™ and what does it do?
NITROFOAM™ is PUMA's advanced nitrogen-injected foam. It is designed to provide superior responsiveness and cushioning in a lightweight package, enhancing both comfort and energy return during runs.
What is the purpose of the PWRPLATE?
The PWRPLATE is a carbon fiber plate engineered into the midsole. Its primary functions are to stabilize the midsole and maximize energy transfer, contributing to a more propulsive and faster stride.
Are these shoes suitable for marathon running?
Yes, the combination of cushioning and responsiveness makes them suitable for daily training and potentially longer runs like marathons for neutral runners who appreciate a propulsive feel.
What does 'neutral pronator' mean?
A neutral pronator is someone whose foot rolls inward a normal amount after landing. These shoes are designed to support that natural motion without overcorrecting or adding excessive stability features.
How much recycled material is used in the upper?
The engineered mesh upper is made with at least 20% recycled materials, contributing to PUMA's commitment to sustainability.
What is the heel-to-toe drop of these trainers?
The heel-to-toe drop is 10mm, with a stack height of 39mm at the heel and 29mm at the forefoot.
How do I clean my Deviate Nitro 3 trainers?
Clean them using a soft brush or cloth for loose dirt, and a mild soap and cold water solution for stains. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying; air dry them naturally.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff
The PWRPLATE and NITROFOAM™ may require a break-in period. Wear them for a few shorter runs to allow the materials to adapt to your foot's natural movement.
Reduced responsiveness over time
Ensure the shoes are clean and free from excessive dirt or debris that might impede the foam or plate. Check for any visible damage to the midsole.
Discomfort on the sides of the foot
Verify you have the correct size and width. The engineered mesh should offer a snug yet adaptable fit, but ensure no laces are tied too tightly.
