Velocity NITRO 4
An everyday road trainer intended for a broad range of runners, from tempo sessions to recovery days. Version 4 switches to a full-length NITROFOAM midsole and a redesigned upper focused on breathability and an adaptive fit. PUMAGRIP rubber remains underfoot for traction across surfaces, supporting a daily-training role without restricting the shoe to a particular pace or distance.
