Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 - Ekiden

Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 - Ekiden

The Ekiden relay tradition celebrates collective endurance. The Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 - Ekiden honors that tradition on Puma's lightest carbon plate racing shoe — NITRO Elite foam and PWRPLATE in the palette of Japan's most celebrated running ritual.

This is the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 that runs for something larger than the individual. Puma's lightest racing platform, dressed for ceremony.

NITRO Elite (PEBA) + PWRPLATE + ULTRAWEAVE 2.0: Puma Racing Technology

NITRO Elite is Puma's most advanced racing foam — PEBA-based, nitrogen-infused, and at the top of the NITRO compound hierarchy. PWRPLATE is Puma's full-length carbon fiber plate, providing aggressive forward propulsion with each stride. ULTRAWEAVE 2.0 upper is lighter and more breathable than its predecessor — no excess weight anywhere in the construction.

ULTRAWEAVE 2.0 upper + PUMAGRIP Lite outsole. 185 g. 8 mm drop. 38 mm heel stack. One of the lightest carbon plate racing shoes available — built for the front of the field.

Who it's for

For competitive runners ready to race at the front. Best for athletes with race-shoe experience targeting 10K to marathon PRs.
