A Racing Shoe That Goes Beyond Fast
Meet the Puma Deviate NITRO™ Elite 4, a race-day rocket designed to help you run fast, smooth, and confident from the starting line to the tape. Built for PR-chasers and start-line regulars, it combines a featherlight feel with a dialed-in ride that stays composed when the pace heats up.
At the core is NITROFOAM™ Elite, Puma’s top-tier cushioning tuned for max energy return, giving you that springy pop without feeling sloppy. Paired with a carbon-fiber PWRPLATE, it creates a propulsive, efficient transition that encourages quick turnover and a powerful push-off, perfect for surges, hills, and late-race kicks.
A breathable, Ultraweave upper locks your foot in without bulk, while the PUMAGRIP outsole helps you stay confident rounding corners and running in imperfect conditions. Whether you’re lining up for a 5K or going all-in for the marathon, the Deviate NITRO™ Elite 4 is made to feel fast and keep you feeling fresh when it counts.

Ran long
I have these in version 3 and they fit great. Version four runs long and didn’t quite fit right. I also didn’t feel like it had the same pop as version 3 which I do still wear a lot. It did feel wider and more stable.
