Make Your Fast, Faster Than Ever With Puma Fast-R 2 Nitro™ Elite

Pedro van GaalenDecember 1, 2023012.7k

The high-speed takeover has arrived with the all new Fast-R 2 NITRO™ Elite – PUMA’s most explosive and innovative race-day running shoe yet.

Built to help you break your PB, Fast-R 2 utilises the enhanced benefits of NITRO™ ELITE technology, giving you a maximum competitive stack height (40mm) with unbeatable speed and cushioning, propelling your race-day to new territory; from short runs to marathons and every distance between.

More energy storage and return

A sequel to the ground-breaking Fast-R NITRO™ Elite, the Fast-R 2 allows 22% more energy storage and up to 46% more raw energy return versus its predecessor, resulting in a lighter, more economical ride.

This efficiency translates to average savings of:

2 minutes 28 seconds for a 3:30:00 marathoner
1 minute 23 seconds for a 2:30:00 marathoner

Innovative technology

The two-part midsole and exposed signature PWRPLATE remain key features, with the carbon plate elongating through the NITROFOAM™ ELITE and out past the toe.

This unique concept allows for increased surface contact; a lever that guides pressure forward and propels the foot as it leaves the ground.

A next generation, psychedelic ULTRAWEAVE upper – 20% lighter than the material used in the original Fast-R – is lined with a bespoke PWRTAPE, whilst the PUMAGRIP outsole ensures maximum multi-surface traction, allowing you to step out to conquer the racecourse in full confidence of achieving serious speed. Making your fast, faster than ever.

Fast-R 2 NITRO™ Elite Specifications:

Price: R6999
Weight: 240g
Stack Height: 40mm

The Fast-R 2 NITRO™ Elite Psychedelic Rush will be available from 22 February 2024 from PUMA.com, PUMA Retail stores, and Totalsports.
