One of the models that we are sure will give more to talk about in this 2024 season will become available starting August 28th. We refer to the new Puma Fast-RB Nitro Elite, a shoe that will only have 1000 pairs available worldwide.
The Puma Nitro Fast Elite is a running shoe that is intended for a very specific profile of runners; the fastest and those who have a refined running technique.
Puma continues to position itself among the running brands with the fastest shoes, which are already worn by some of the winning runners on the podiums of some of the most prestigious races in the world. With this new model they continue to redefine the concept of innovation with new technologies that break the rules and models designed to be bold on the asphalt.
The Puma Fast-RB Nitro Elite is not the brand's first shoe aimed at the fastest, a few months ago it presented the Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 2, which has a very similar design to this new model.
The shoe breaks all the rules of innovation, with cutting-edge technology and radical design features, the new Puma Fast RB NITRO Elite challenges the category of running shoes like we have never seen before.
The upper is designed as a bootie, narrow at the heel collar to provide a good fit of the foot inside the shoe, has a very light and breathable mesh and few protections. It does not have laces but thanks to PUMA PWRTAPE technology our foot fits perfectly inside the shoe.
The midsole is the most outstanding and differential aspect of the shoe, as it is equipped with an incredible NitroFoam Elite technology with "illegal" profiles of 58mm, this is the most advanced PUMA foam technology that is 18 mm above the usual, offering greater cushioning and better responsiveness. With a profile height of over 40 mm, it is not an official shoe to validate the times achieved by World Athletics.
One of the great innovations and novelties of this model is found between the layers of NitroFoam Elite, as there is not one, but three carbon PWRPLATES, strategically placed to allow great propulsion in each of our strides.
The outsole material is the same as the Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 2, the PumaGrip outsole, so we have good grip but limited durability due to speed being prioritized at all times.
We often rely on our elite running shoes to perform within the rules on race day, but, with the Puma Fast RB NITRO Elite, we asked ourselves a question: what if we took running technology as far as we could? This is not just a running shoe; it's proof of our intention to be not only the fastest brand in the world, but also the most innovative. Romain Girard, Head of Innovation Design at PUMA
This model is different from what we are used to seeing, it adapts to a very specific profile of runners, with a light weight and a refined running technique to get the most out of this shoe.
As for the technical specifications of this new model, it has a weight of 355 grams and a high drop located at 12 mm, with profiles, as mentioned above, that do not meet the rules of World Athletics, with 58 mm in the rear and 46 mm in the front.
In short, we are looking at a shoe that comes to improve an exceptional line of running shoes from the German multinational that includes the Puma Deviate NITRO Elite 3 and the Puma Fast R NITRO Elite 2. This model is available from the end of August in two color combinations and with only 1000 pairs available worldwide.
