The Velocity Nitro 5 is the next version of PUMA's daily trainer, and its pitch is that it does not care about your pace or distance. Lightweight, responsive NITROFOAM cushioning sits at an 8 mm drop, engineered mesh keeps the foot cool and PUMAGRIP covers the ground. PUMA lists the cushioning as medium and the pronation as neutral.
It suits you as the shoe for ordinary easy and long runs, when you want one neutral trainer that does not get in the way of your miles.
It is not a max-cushion shoe, a stability shoe or a racer. It is a plain trainer, meant to be used up on daily miles rather than saved for special days.
