Deviate Pure is a new addition to the Deviate shoe line, developed by Puma for daily runs, speed training, or everyday activities like commuting and city strolls.
The shoe features a new generation nitrofoarm cushioning layer, designed to enhance energy return and provide a softer feel during runs. Unlike some of the brand's high-performance models, the Deviate Pure does not incorporate a pwrplate carbon plate, aiming instead for a more natural and flexible movement experience during tempo runs, interval training, and daily workouts.
According to Puma, the "Purely Fast" development philosophy behind Deviate Pure focuses on delivering a sense of speed while ensuring comfort, allowing runners to use it across various intensities.
