The PUMA Deviate Pure Nitro is the newest addition to PUMA's acclaimed Deviate franchise — and its most accessible yet. Where the Deviate Nitro 4 relies on a carbon PWRPLATE for snap and propulsion, the Pure takes a different approach entirely. A single, uninterrupted slab of 100% PEBA NITROFOAM fills the midsole from heel to toe, delivering a smooth, flexible, and naturally energetic ride that doesn't need a plate to feel fast. At just 7.5 oz, it's 30 grams lighter than its plated sibling and sits comfortably among the lightest non-plated speed trainers on the market.

The PEBA-based NITROFOAM midsole is an evolution of PUMA's nitrogen-infused foam technology — lighter, more cushioned, and more responsive than previous formulations. At 38mm in the heel and 30mm in the forefoot with an 8mm drop, it delivers enough stack for genuine long-run comfort while maintaining the kind of snappy, road-connected feel you want on tempo days and interval workouts. The ride is soft without being mushy, and lively enough to push the pace without demanding extra effort from your legs.

Up top, a lightweight engineered mesh upper keeps things breathable and secure, with a padded tongue and plush collar that feel more premium than the price tag suggests. A gusseted tongue prevents shifting during harder efforts, and the overall fit runs true to size with a performance-oriented wrap through the midfoot. Underfoot, PUMAGRIP full-forefoot coverage delivers the reliable, confidence-inspiring traction PUMA is known for in all conditions. Whether you're running easy miles, building into a tempo, or logging long weekend efforts, the Deviate Pure Nitro is built to handle it all — smoothly, lightly, and with a little big-cat attitude.
