The Velocity Nitro Trail is PUMA's medium-cushion trail shoe, designed for trail running from the start. It uses NITROFOAM, an advanced nitrogen-injected foam, for lightweight responsiveness, with a 36 mm stack, an 8 mm drop and a weight of about 255 g, which keeps it nimble on moderate ground.
It suits you for easy trail runs on moderate ground, when you want a light shoe with medium cushion and a stack that stays reasonably close to the ground, so the terrain never feels far away.
It is not a technical-terrain or mud shoe, and the page names no special outsole, so do not expect heavy-duty grip when the trail turns steep or wet. It is also not a max-cushion shoe for ultra days.
