Velocity NITRO 3

Daily TrainerRelease date 2024-02-01JP

Velocity NITRO 3 is a non-plated daily road trainer for competitive runners’ jogs through newer runners’ marathon training. PUMA adds 2 mm of NITROFOAM versus the previous model and pairs it with stable, durable PROFOAMLITE for a cushioned, springy ride. A breathable engineered-mesh upper uses PWRTAPE for support, the rolled collar improves fit comfort, and PUMAGRIP supplies traction across varied road surfaces.
