Mens PUMA Deviate NITRO Elite 4 HYROX

When fast isn’t fast enough, you go beyond. The PUMA Deviate NITRO Elite 4 is PUMA’s most advanced marathon-ready racer to date. The HYROX version features a turf-specific lug design for stability in multi-directional movement.

This iteration bridges the gap to the top-tier of competition, featuring the same premium Aliphatic TPU (ATPU) foam found in the aggressive Fast-R series, but tuned for a more stable and accessible ride. A staggering 12% lighter than its predecessor, the Deviate Nitro Elite 4 combines an upgraded NITROFOAM™ ELITE midsole with a re-engineered PWRPLATE to channel maximum energy forward.

Unlike other aggressive racers that can feel unstable, the Deviate Nitro Elite 4 offers a natural feel that caters to a wider range of runners, particularly midfoot and heel strikers. It’s light, stable, and locked on your goal pace.

What to love:

• 12% significantly lighter than the Elite 3, reducing leg fatigue over the full marathon distance

Superior Foot Strike Versatility: Optimized geometry provides a more stable experience for midfoot and heel strikers compared to other hyper-aggressive racers.

Approachable Performance: A fast, nimble shoe that remains stable and balanced enough for runners new to carbon plates or racing in general.

UPPER

Race-Day Lockdown: A minimalist, soft breathable upper ensures your foot stays secure without adding unnecessary weight.

MIDSOLE

Enhanced NITROFOAM™ ELITE: Aliphatic TPU (ATPU) foam is softer and more energetic, providing an added bounce that makes the carbon plate propulsion feel even more pronounced.

Re-engineered PWRPLATE: A full-length carbon fiber plate designed to stabilize the midsole and provide a propulsive, snap-like toe-off.

Enhanced Stability: Designed with a more traditional geometry compared to other racers, making it ideal for a variety of foot strikes.

OUTSOLE

PUMMGRIP Outsole: All-new full coverage PUMAGRIP outsole with turf-specific lug design for best-in-class and multi-directional traction.
