Its two previous versions have an important legion of followers, making the Velocity Nitro saga one of the best-selling models of the German brand for runners of all types and conditions, and to run all kinds of distances on asphalt. That is why the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3 are renewed with the aim of improving the running experience of the runner, and intend to maintain its privileged position as one of the most versatile running shoes on the market, and also stand out for their great value for money.
If you liked the PUMA Velocity Nitro 2, from RUNNEA we already anticipate that this new version of the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3 will continue to delight you, because, yes, it is true that they incorporate very significant and important changes, but they maintain the essence of being a running shoe that offers a perfect combination of comfort and performance in every kilometer you run, and without being so aware of the pace of the race.
Here we tell you all the details of these renewed PUMA Velocity Nitro 3, which we have no doubt that they will enter directly to the list of candidates for best running shoe in our RUNNEA European Awards 2024.
Key features and innovations of the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3
If you are able to contrast the two images of the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3 and the PUMA Velocity Nitro 2, it is clear that the German company's product developers have opted to follow the current market trend of increasing the shoe's profile, and adding even more smoothness to each step.
Unlike PUMA's Velocity Nitro 2, this third version of the Velocity Nitro features a midsole with a higher amount of foam. This is where we will find its main novelty, because the "secret of success" of this shoe for neutral runners is found in the combination of two different foams. On the one hand, in the upper layer, we find PUMA's star compound: Nitro Foam. As we said, these Velocity Nitro 3 now have more of this foam in order to offer a higher degree of comfort and a more friendly and soft touch feeling. On the other hand, the bottom layer of this model includes the exclusive ProfoamLite material. Consisting of a really lightweight EVA foam, not only to provide extra cushioning and comfort, but also to increase energy return with every step. You'll feel more momentum in every run.
I don't know if you've noticed, but there's also a major change in the rear foot area of the shoe. The heel is better structured, has more height and appears better molded. This change will provide more stability and support, but it will also help to offer more protection to the Achilles tendon for more confident and secure running.
The changes are not so outstanding with respect to previous editions, when we refer to its upper and outsole. The upper's technical mesh is designed to offer optimal breathability, while the PWRTAPE technological resource, the brand's trademark, is presented as a specific reinforcement to improve the model's support and durability. The outsole still features PUMAGRIP rubber compound, which ensures a good level of traction on multiple surfaces.
The technical specifications of these PUMA Velocity Nitro 3 have a drop of 8 millimeters and a weight of 266 grams.
Ideal runner profile of the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3
As in previous versions, if there is one thing that stands out about the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3, it is that as a daily training shoe it is a great choice. As long as you have in mind to get a versatile option for different types of training and / or fun races.
It is a model that adapts to a wide range of runners, from beginners to more advanced runners, for intermediate paces. Looking at the chrono, that is 4:40 min/km, and lower and softer paces. Let's say it's a perfect choice for intermediate weight runners up to 80 kg.
Recommended distances of the PUMA Velocity Nitro 3
These PUMA Velocity Nitro 3 running shoes are perfect for medium to long distances, from 5 km to half-marathon, providing an ideal balance between cushioning, comfort and responsiveness.
With all this, if your final choice is these renewed PUMA Velocity Nitro 3 you should keep in mind that you will be betting on a model that offers you a very good performance in the race, but above all a high level of comfort with a great response.
From RUNNEA we are clear that this third version of the Velocity Nitro are still one of the best balanced training shoes on the market to date, and that they have all the ingredients to compete head-to-head with models like the Nike Pegasus 40, the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v13 or the Saucony Triumph 21, among other outstanding models. As we said at the beginning that its RRP price is at €130 also keep it as one of the options with the best value for money.
