Puma Deviate Nitro 2 After 100 Miles
Рет қаралды 154,515
Күн бұрынMy first impressions when I reviewed the Puma Deviate Nitro 2 was that it was my favorite running shoe that Puma has ever made. But now that I’ve run in the shoe for a few months, can that feeling last? Or was my initial infatuation just part of a honeymoon phase? It’s time to lace up the Deviate Nitro 2 one more time, and talk about it after 100 miles.

I am tall runner with normal weight and relatively normal running technique. And I can say, that this outsole is holding up better then any other I tried in the last 10 years ( perhaps 30-40 Shoes ) Its amazing, and i used it a lot on gravel and easy trails as well. This will definately a shoe I will keep in my rotation for a long a time.

6'2'' 80kg forefoot runner here and I have 300kms in my pair that I nabbed in June. ZERO OUTSOLE DEGREDATION. Insane. The midsole does not feel like it's lost anything and I use this as my daily trainer. Best shoe purchase in the past year.

I was looking for perfect shoe for a very long time. Discovered the Deviate Nitro 2 and gave it a try. Never want to give them back. They are amazing and I never had to think about the shoe during a run, they just feel right. I recently tested the Foreverrun and had a similar experience althoug the Deviate Nitro 2 is definately more fun. At least for me, Puma shoes are a perfect fit!💪

Amazing shoe! Canadian living in Germany for several years, and never considered Puma until this year, and am truly impressed with their entire lineup, but the Deviate 2 really is tremondous. I have run in every lineup (except the Saucony shoes), and this is better than all I have tried for a great price - same here, get the discounts on the colorways that aren't popular. Same shoe, different color. I now run in the Deviate 2, the Velocity 2, the Liberate 2, and the Magnify 2. Fantastic shoes, all of them. Puma is still old school with most of their shoes, with great tech in there, but not as the main selling point. Love that.😊

I've got ~100 miles as well in the Deviate Nitro 2 and can attest that it's a great shoe. It really is the prototypical modern "super" daily trainer. If you're used to current gen race super shoes it will give you a great cush + assistive feel you might expect. And if you're newer to plated and premium foam shoes it will blow you away. It's that good for a trainer. I use a Prime X for my 10 + mile runs because I'm old (43) and the leg saving properties of that shoe are unmatched. But for my daily 10km at pace, easy or intervals this thing is ideal. Awesome outsole, great foam combo with mostly super foam, and perfect cushy daily trainer-esq upper. Amazing shoe that I'll be putting even more of my miles in the Canadian winter with that Puma grip. Solid A- shoe.

@@migztv3270 Hm, surely you could use both of them for racing as they are kind of similar. But for me, both of them are too heavy as a race shoe. I personally prefer lighter race shoes. If I had to pick one of the two for racing, I would go with the Boston 12 as it gives a bit more propulsion and energy return and feels faster under foot (an is slightly lighter than the Deviate Nitro 2). With the Boston 12, it takes about 20-30 miles to break in and after that it feels absolutely phsntastic. 👌

Excellent shoe for intervals, tempo, 5k-10k, and basically any run you want to pick up the pace. I find it not so good when running slower paces (aka easy and daily training) as the plate is a bit too much for my shins and the shoe is on the heavier side. But nevertheless, it's my 2nd favorite Puma shoe (Forever run nitro is the 1st). Stable despite being a fast shoe, nice energy return, but the best part is the awesome Puma Grip outsole. For everyone who has never ran in Puma Grip outsole, I'm telling you: it's a game changer. Super durable and super grippy, just like what Kofuzi said. And if no one is aware, Puma puts their running shoe lineup on sale quite a lot. I got my Deviate Nitro 2s for 62usd.

( Not willing to spent skyprice for the top range carbon-plated race day shoes.) Yea, Puma had comfortably won myself a Good PB 1:51 for the HM last month. Indeed a low profile looking running shoes. Secretly comes with a Puma beast within.

Literally just bought the Ciele Athletics collab version, because i really wanted to try puma running shoes for once, that seemed like the perfect opportunity, even though it was a bit more expensive. And i’ve been loving it, the foam feels a bit squishyer in the forefoot (like a NB rc elite 2 squish) with a much more relaxed plate that magicly only starts to kick in once you pick up the pace. You can definitely feel the foam difference in the heel. Been using it for almost anything up to 15k. The Puma Grip is SICK. Continental rubber just got dethroned imho.

The heel and forefoot have a lot of sole flare and some sidewalls, so those areas are stable, but the midfoot around the arch is very narrow, which I imagine could be improved upon.

Another happy runner with this shoe. I would go as far as to say, this outsole is magical. It seriously reminds me of my merrell moab 3 which I wear as daily shoe using the vibram outsole for serious outdoor demands. The traction is just that good. In some other runing shoes I find that I need to keep a slight watch of my form espeically on slippery surfaces. It's sort of like a backend process of windows that eats up a bit of your memory for mostly nothing. And causing extra strain for my leg muscles. With this shoe there is not a single moment of such worry so my lower body and leg muscles are extremely loose and relax and it helped me to run way more efficient. The grip is that good. As for the shoe itself I'd say this is about as close we can get to the benchmamrk ES3. It is about the same soft and bouncy, natural, but effortless ride. Maybe even slightly more cushioned and more plush than ES3. Basically everything you feel with ES3 is present here. The difference is obviously this is not as light and nimble,. But in a trade off this has a much better upper in my opinion. On typical ES3 you don't feel anything special. But this upper really hug tight like a good sock while not being painfully tight. For nomal person you'd be happy to use this everyday. For me I'm happy that I don't have to keep stocking up ES3 after I retire one pair coz there are just as many good alternatives out there.

I really wish Puma made their shoes in 12.5 (like I wear in every other brand). I bought a pair of Velocity Nitro 2s in a 12 several months back and they were too small, but felt like the 13s would be too big. I feel like these shoes would do well for me...if they made my size!

This is a great video! How would you compare to the speed 3 as I tested both today and I felt like a boss in the puma, but I'm worried about it compared to speed 3 for half distance. Again, one of if not the best video reviewers on KZfaq. If I see you in Crystal Lake at all HOPTOPUS are on me.🤜

Its a very good shoe: Could train and race up to halfmarathon for me. Can do it all, except for bottoming out at longruns for me. Gets unforgiving after 18-20 km. So not marathon trainer or racer for me. Another negative, gravel gets stuck in cutout in outsole.

Do you prefer this or the novablast 3? How do they tee up against one another?
@mikes5764 Жыл бұрын
I have the Nitro 2 and the Novablast 2. Two shoes could not be more different. For me, the Nitro is more fun to run in, at all distances. The Novablast feels too soft because of all that foam. They gives less stability so, on a flat road they are okay, but off the road on trails or in fast turns they are tricky. The Nitro's feel fasert and you will feel more contact with the ground. They are therefore also great for a 5K or 10K race. But I am also happy with Novablasts. When my legs are tired after a hard workout , or just to run a lot of miles on flat roads they are great and give the legs a lot of rest on that Novablast foam.

Hey man, I bought this shoe when I started running a couple of months ago thanks to your video. While I know that I'm still a beginner (8ish mins/km easy pace), I think I'm ready to expand my rotation. What else would you recommend to pair with this aside from the Asics and On shoes? Specifically from New Balance, Nike, and Adidas (since they're the most common brands where I'm from).
@pranayk37 10 ай бұрын
My journey with Puma started with their Faas series back in 2015. Wore out that shoe and had to move to Adidas because puma dropped the ball on running shoes for a few years. Now this nitro foam is amazing. Been running in their velocity nitro shoe for the last 1 year and loving it. And buying deviate nitro 2 as a daily trainer

I am slow so don't buy fast shoes or super shoes because I am not there yet in terms of seeing performance gains, so I appreciate the mention of this being an option for race day. I'm trying to calibrate what type of runner would this be a race day pick for. In your opinion, could this be a race shoe for a slow half-marathoner? Say two hour type of half marathon on road?

These would absolutely work for that pace. I used them for my first and only (so far) half marathon and they were great. I did 1:35 in that race, but when doing my general runs I certainly do plenty that are at 5 minutes or under. These cruise along nicely at that pace. The DN2 are very good for holding a steady pace and are cushioned enough to plod in too. My wife's friend is just getting into running and she picked up a pair. She just did a 14km race in them yesterday and did really well, I think at about 5:20 per km pace. She loves them and I'd say she rarely runs above 5 minutes per km pace.
@meancheeto Жыл бұрын
That's a good pace, imo. I consider myself a slow runner as well. I just ordered these for my long runs. I have been running in pegasus turbo from pegasus 39 and been looking to purchase a better cushioned and plated shoe. I ran my last half in 1:43 but felt like I needed more cushion
