Puma Deviate Nitro Elite 2

Puma's NITRO foam infused with nitrogen gas provides cushioning that doesn't break down over 26.2 miles — a problem that plagues cheaper carbon shoes. The Deviate Nitro Elite 2 includes an Innoplate carbon fiber plate and a propulsion-focused outsole design. At roughly $200, it undercuts every competitor in the super shoe market while delivering 90% of the performance. It's the shoe that budget-conscious elites secretly love.
