FAST-FWD NITRO Elite
FAST-FWD NITRO Elite is a first-generation racer for road events such as 10K and uphill races. Its undercut heel and forefoot shape the NITROFOAM ELITE midsole to encourage a midfoot landing and concentrate rebound, while the carbon-fibre PWRPLATE stabilizes the platform for efficient energy transfer. A sock-like mono-mesh upper uses PWRTAPE reinforcement, and lightweight PUMAGRIP LT supplies race-day traction.
