Puma Velocity Nitro 3 Full Review
Puma hasn’t really been known for their running shoes, that is until recently where it seems that every release they throw out there is a hit! They’ve been on my list to try but lets take a look at how the stack up to the field.

      First run in them today, they felt good at faster paces which was really nice and were still comfortable during the warm up and cool down. Seem like they’re a great versatile option that can even be used on easy runs which is rare for the plated uptempo category. I feel like they might not be quite as comfortable for longer miles though so we’ll have to see!
