While Nike and Addidas super shoes have helped athletes win a few gold medals over the years, the exciting new arrival of the PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite 3 has shaken the game up this year.

Fiona O’Keeffe blazed her way to victory at the Olympic Trials marathon in Orlando, wearing a pair of shoes that hit the shelves just this June. It marked her first-ever marathon win—a triumph that secured her a coveted spot on Team USA.

Hot on her heels, Dakotah Lindwurm, who claimed third place, was also rocking the same pair. In fact, three of the top 10 finishers sported PUMA’s newest super shoe, turning heads and making waves in the running world.

First launched in June, with a second colourway coming out in July, the PUMA Deviate Nitro Elite 3 is the brand’s lightest running shoe, weighing in at just 0,192 kilograms (for the size 8 women’s shoe). The midsole features PUMA’s signature Nitrofoam Elite, a nitrogen-infused foam that’s airy, soft and bouncy. Sandwiched beneath that foam is a carbon fibre plate that acts like a springboard, propelling runners forward on every foot strike.

The upper uses Ultraweave, Puma’s four-way stretch mesh fabric that helps create a snug fit without friction. The 87% rubber outsole is durable and built to offer optimal traction for the road.

Designed to help runners beat their PB, the formula already seems to have worked. Fiona O’Keeffe’s victory in Orlando while wearing these running shoes was her first-ever marathon win and the proof in the pudding.
