Puma Fast-FWD Nitro Elite 2 Ekiden Men's Running Shoes

Leave marathon pace in the dust. The Puma Fast-FWD Elite 2 thrives through one mile to 10k speeds.

ULTRAWEAVE Upper

Utilising ULTRAWEAVE technology, the Fast-FWD Nitro Elite 2s provide a lightweight and breezy ride, so slip on and run. The ultra-light, engineered fabric features a structured 4-way stretch, reducing weight and friction to ensure distraction-free comfort. The material features perforations throughout for increased breathability, allowing maximum airflow and ensuring fresh feet from start to finish. The upper utilises a minimal, slightly cushioned tongue and collar, so the shoe stays lightweight and prevents bulk when worn. The tongue lies close to the skin, reducing irritation and creating a snug feel. Puma has added PWRTAPE on the instep of the shoes; this adds to the shoes' structure and support whilst protecting high-wear areas. Finally, a traditional lacing system completely locks down the midfoot, preventing in-shoe slipping and maximising comfort on the go.

NITROFOAM Elite Midsole

NITROFOAM Elite keeps you feeling light, bouncy and ready for the competition. The premium foam effectively absorbs shock when striking down on unforgiving surfaces, protecting your feet and joints from impact. The foam then releases the pressure to increase propulsion and energy return. This has been teamed with an extended PWRPLATE through the midsole, a carbon-fibre plate that enhances energy return and forward propulsion, keeping you focused on your target.

Pumagrip Outsole

PUMAGRIP returns on the outsole of the Fast-FWD Nitro Elites 2. This provides maximum traction on multiple surfaces, allowing you to step out and conquer in full confidence. The rubber is thin yet super durable and grippy for consistent reliability. This outsole construction combines hardness for durability and softness for grip, thanks to a construction optimised for wet ground.
