Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 4 vs Puma Fast R3 Comparison

Two of Puma’s fastest race-day shoes go head-to-head. ⚡👟 In this video, I compare the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 4 with the explosive Puma Fast-R 3 — two carbon plate running shoes that are dominating the conversation among casual and serious runners and marathon racers. Both are built for speed, both are elite-level racing shoes… but they feel very different on the run. I break down every key component — midsole foam, carbon plate , geometry, weight, fit, ride feel, and race-day performance — and explain who each shoe is actually for. If you’re deciding between the Deviate Nitro Elite 4 and the Fast-R 3 for your next 5K, 10K, half marathon or marathon, this video will help you avoid the wrong choice. One of these shoes is smoother and more versatile. The other is aggressive, radical, and unapologetically fast. But which one should you race in? 👉 Watch till the end for my honest verdict and which Puma super shoe I’d personally choose on the start line.
