Puma Fast RB Nitro Elite Early Review | A fun concept designed to turn heads

The Fast RB Nitro Elite is the brand’s most creative shoe to date. It features three PWRPLATEs, one carbon and TPU, that work alongside a thick 58mm stack of NITROFOAM Elite midsole layers. The head-turning construction is designed to produce a spring-like effect that promotes a high level of bounce and propulsion.

Featuring a decoupled midsole design, the shoe is 18mm higher than the regulation stack height for professional athletes and aims to offer all runners a fun experience for a variety of runs.

Tom, Mike and Nick have been testing the shoe to see if the creative design delivers the goods.

The sort of shoe Wile e Coyote would of used with springs to catch the Road Runner beep beep. For those of us who can remember back that far😂

They are just having fun and can't wait to see how the tech trickles down

I have the Puma Fast R 1 & 2 Deviate nitro elite 1&2 & 3.. Definitely getting this one. Even if I need to rob a bank for it 😂😂😂

I thought Wave Rebellion Pro looked crazy, but this is a step up.

Sadly there’s not enough stack for me and I prefer at least 4 plates, so I think I’ll pass.

[Wladislav]

Glad to see companies pushing the envelope like this.

[CasparWilson]

This is a disappointingly straight laced review of an intentionally absurd shoe

[bobotmeister]

awesome concept shoe! kudos for getting pairs 😍

[CurrereRun]

Only 1000 made and runtesters get 3 pairs!!!!

The designers at puma must have been tripping their balls off while designing this shoe.

There is a point of diminishing returns with energy return. However, shoe weight is extremely important. This shoe is absurdly heavy. It can’t possibly be a fast shoe with the ridiculous weight that it has.

Ill assume these work better than the Puma Fast-Roid Nitro :P (Aware there weren't running shoes)

[handongistoocute]

If I was going to ever spend this sort of money on a shoe I'd be more inclined to buy the new ON race shoe with their light spray upper design because I'd probably get more use out of it. This clearly is a 'look at me' shoe for those of us that are seeking attention.

It is amusing how the vibe of this review is as if it is the Pegasus or Ghost, rather than an absurdly expensive, limited supply concept shoe that only wannabe influencers are going to own.

[ACs]

i can see this being the 'it' shoe on the streets of Harajuku

[fpupesh]

someone please tell mike to dial down the "kinda" a bit

[LearningFast]

This shoe just went on sale on their website and sold out in a second or two. This really isn’t a serious shoe because it is so ridiculously heavy.

[dantwister]

So, which shoe is faster, Puma Fast RB Elite or Asics Metaspeed Sky?

[uchoang]

My op, this look weird, do you think it good for daily run?

[Paulo-dv]

46mm front and 58mm heel ! Oh my days.
