Puma Men's Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 Racing Shoes - White/Chambray Blue

The Puma Men’s Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 Racing Shoes in White/Chambray Blue are Puma’s most advanced race-day shoe to date—engineered for elite speed, maximum efficiency, and breakthrough marathon performances. Built using extensive athlete testing and data-driven design, the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 is crafted to help runners unlock faster times with an ultra-lightweight feel, explosive propulsion, and world-class energy return.

Finished in a clean White/Chambray Blue colorway, this cutting-edge racer combines premium race-day performance with a sleek, fast-looking design built to stand out on the starting line.

At the core of the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 is Puma’s upgraded NITROFOAM™ ELITE, an innovative nitrogen-infused foam engineered to provide exceptional responsiveness, lightweight cushioning, and enhanced long-distance comfort. The redesigned midsole delivers even greater energy return while maintaining the soft, propulsive feel elite runners demand for race day.

For maximum forward momentum, Puma extended the shoe’s carbon fiber PWRPLATE, creating a more aggressive propulsion system that enhances running efficiency and helps drive smooth, explosive toe-offs. Combined with the highly responsive foam platform, the Fast-R3 is optimized to help runners conserve energy and maintain pace deep into races.

Compared to the previous Fast-R Nitro Elite 2, the Fast-R3 sheds approximately 95 grams, creating a significantly lighter and more efficient ride. Weighing just 170g (Men’s US 10), it delivers elite-level speed with max cushioning underfoot.

The lightweight ULTRAWEAVE upper provides breathable comfort and race-ready lockdown with minimal weight, helping keep feet cool and secure through hard efforts and marathon distances.

Built for neutral runners and road racing, the Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 features a 40mm heel / 32mm forefoot stack height with an 8mm heel-to-toe drop, offering a highly cushioned yet aggressive geometry built for speed.

Recognized as Men’s Health 2025 Sneaker Awards – Best Marathon Racing Shoe, the Fast-R3 is engineered specifically for runners chasing personal bests and breakthrough performances.

Whether you're targeting a new marathon PR, racing a half marathon, or lining up for your next road race, the Puma Fast-R Nitro Elite 3 delivers elite propulsion, lightweight speed, and maximum race-day performance.
