FAST-R NITRO Elite 2
FAST-R NITRO Elite 2 is a second-generation racer for road events from short distances through the marathon. It retains the split-midsole concept while combining enhanced NITROFOAM ELITE with a full-length carbon PWRPLATE exposed beyond the toe. The ULTRAWEAVE upper is 20% lighter than its predecessor and reinforced with PWRTAPE, while PUMAGRIP supplies road traction and the upper supports race-day lockdown.
