PUMA | Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 | Men's | Apple Spritz/Deep Plum

The PUMA Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 is engineered for one purpose: maximum race-day speed. Designed with advanced computational modeling, this next-generation carbon racing shoe removes unnecessary weight and fine-tunes every component to deliver elite performance from 5Ks to full marathons. The result is a dramatically lighter, faster, and more efficient super shoe built to help you chase PRs.

At the core of the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 is a re-tuned NITROFOAM™ Elite midsole, now lighter and softer while delivering even greater energy return. This ultra-responsive cushioning works in harmony with a full-length carbon PWRPLATE, creating powerful propulsion and smooth forward momentum that helps conserve energy and maintain speed late into the race.

Up top, a redesigned ULTRAWEAVE engineered mesh upper reduces bulk while improving breathability and lockdown. Fewer overlays and a refined fit create a secure, sock-like feel that eliminates distractions and hot spots when the pace heats up.

Underfoot, a thinner PUMAGRIP outsole provides confident, race-ready traction without adding weight, keeping you fast and stable on race day. Built for runners who demand uncompromising performance, the PUMA Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 is a lightweight, carbon-plated racing shoe designed to help you move faster, finish stronger, and make every second count.
