The Velocity Nitro 4 is PUMA's plain daily trainer: full-length NITROFOAM at a 36 mm heel and 10 mm drop, a more breathable mesh upper with PWRTAPE reinforcement, and the PUMAGRIP outsole that has been the line's quiet superpower on wet pavement.
It suits you as the workhorse — easy and moderate mileage, the long run, a pickup when the mood takes you — at $140 in a market where that job increasingly costs $160.
It is not exciting and has no plate; the Deviate is the fast sibling. PUMA prints no weight on the product page for this one, so the scales stay a mystery the shoe itself never made interesting.
