PUMA FAST-R NITRO™ Elite 3 – The Ultimate Carbon Competition Shoe for Personal Bests

The PUMA FAST-R NITRO™ Elite 3 was developed with one goal in mind: to get from the starting line to the finish line as quickly as possible. This is PUMA’s most advanced racing shoe, designed for runners seeking maximum efficiency, explosive energy return, and pure speed in races ranging from 5 kilometers to the marathon.

With an ultralight construction, an aggressive carbon plate, and the latest generation of NITROFOAM™ ELITE, the FAST-R Elite 3 ranks among the very best in the competition segment.

Maximum Propulsion with Carbon Technology

At the heart of the FAST-R Elite 3 is the redesigned PWRPLATE™ carbon plate.

PWRPLATE™ – An extended carbon fiber plate that stabilizes the midsole while delivering maximum energy transfer. With every stride, energy is efficiently returned, allowing you to run faster and maintain a high pace for longer.

The result is powerful, forward propulsion that helps you move more efficiently and shave precious seconds off your finish time.

NITROFOAM™ ELITE for Explosive Energy Return

The FAST-R Elite 3 features PUMA's most responsive foam technology.

NITROFOAM™ ELITE – An ultralight, nitrogen-enriched premium foam that delivers maximum cushioning, exceptional energy return, and a surprisingly comfortable feel at high speeds.

Despite its race-oriented design, the shoe offers sufficient protection for long distances, making it perfect for half marathons and marathons.

Ultralight Upper for Competition Days

Every gram counts when you're aiming for a personal best.

ULTRAWEAVE upper – A premium, extremely lightweight material that provides excellent ventilation and a snug fit.

The upper fits snugly around the foot without creating any pressure points, so you can focus entirely on your race.

Grip and Control at High Speeds

During competitions, you want maximum confidence with every step.

The specially designed outsole provides reliable traction on asphalt and keeps you stable during sharp turns, rapid changes in pace, and wet conditions.

That way, you can keep accelerating with confidence when it counts.
