Deviate NITRO Elite 3
Deviate NITRO Elite 3 is a carbon-plated racer for personal-best attempts from 5K through the marathon. Its full-length NITROFOAM ELITE is 4mm thicker than its predecessor, supplying responsive cushioning across footstrikes, while the carbon-fiber PWRPLATE stabilizes the platform for propulsion.
