NITRO Foam Technology Explained
What is NITRO: EVA foam into which nitrogen is injected during production. The gas creates uniform micro-bubbles that make the midsole lighter (-15% weight), more responsive (+20% energy return), and more durable (+25% compression resistance vs traditional EVA).
Benefits for running: Soft cushioning upon landing + explosive propulsion upon toe-off = less muscle fatigue over medium-long distances. Ideal for improving times without sacrificing comfort.
Durability: Maintains cushioning properties for up to 700-800 km vs 500-600 km for standard foams.
Special Run 75 Edition
Fast Yellow-Black colorway celebrates 75 years of Puma innovation in running (1950-2025). High-visibility design for evening/morning runs. Reflective details for nighttime safety.
