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.

Week 14 of 5k training and the deload couldn’t have come at a better time with The Running Event 2024 in Austin, TX While my mileage was a low point, I was never short on steps. This week I met with over 20 brands, went to 3 brand events, met countless creators, and had a TON of fun. Some brands that I met with: Mizuno, Hoka, On, New Balance, ASICS, Adidas, Puma, Craft, and more! Adidas Evo SL ...

Sauncony Endorphin Pro 4 - My 2024 Race Shoe of the Year (so far)
Every puma I try is a banger imo. I always get along with them.
Really enjoyed them so far, my only “complaint” is fit is pretty narrow.
@raddadbodtv part of the reason I get along with them so well I think. I'm more of a C than a D. New Balance is like clown shoes in comparison lol
@ new balances definitely run wide haha, they’re going to be fixing it in their performance models for 2025 though!
Im running the Sedona 125 in May of 2025. This shoe will likely be in my rotation for that race along with my Topo terraventure and my altra lone peak.
I had to size up I wear a 10 1/2 in Jordan shoes 11 on clouds and 11 1/2 for pumas
nice video
Let’s go brother… I love Mizuno so I’m excited for these
Hey thanks man! And same I’m pumped with what they’re putting out in 2025!!
I don’t own the Speedworks, but I own two Elites and I just ran NY in one of them. If I had to run another marathon tomorrow, I would do it using the Elite once again. Superb shoe (especially if you have wider feet).
They really did a phenomenal job on both shows
Perfect, got them 100€ for Black Friday . Hope I’ll be happy with them
Thanks dude.
Which brands are you most excited for 2025?
Oh man, Brooks is really exciting as they’re really trying some new stuff. The Hoka Cielo x1 2.0 looks right up my alley. ASICS just has to not mess it up. Mizuno is a sleeper pick. Saucony im skeptical after really liking some of their models this year.
@ yeah they all look exciting tbh. We runners are blessed the competition between brands is fierce so they got to step up or be left behind. One thing that annoys me a bit is why does hoka not just name it cielo x2 instead of x1 2.0🤣
@ yeaaaaaah I don’t get that naming haha
How's the forefoot and midfoot of Specter 2 compared to Cyclone 2? Cyclone 2 forefoot workable for my 2E bunion but midfoot is too narrow.
Amen 🙌🏽💯
Man I have been seen your videos now for a few weeks. Love your hats can you share what brand they are and where you buy them from?
They’re from all over tbh. Janji, ciele, Brooks, Merrell, Nike, Saucony
Can’t wait to hear and see all the products that catches your eye from the event.
How is this as a walking shoe and gym shoe?
It’s a little high drop for both. I would find something a little more stable and firm
@ what would you recommend for non leg days as far as walking/Running shoes?
@ oh I mean if you’re not doing leg day then yeah these are fine
@@raddadbodtv these would only be for casual use for work and any day that isn’t leg day at the gym. I walk about 12 miles to week to work and back. I need a good walking and gym shoe preferably Nike . Any recommendations ? I thought the peg 41 might be great since it looks good , firm and can get a sell on it. Thoughts ?
@ so you can walk with them obviously but the forefoot feels pretty thin. You may want a little more cushion if you’re walking a lot. Just something to consider. I think 12 miles a week of walking though is probably fine.
Can we get a tour of your home gym space?
Will do that on an upcoming week!
Would you recommend this to a delivery driver?
So you need something with some tread? Trying to understand demands for a delivery driver
hey great video! Btw I am wondering if there are any tips to break a 5k run record?
The 5k is a blend of speed and aerobic efficiency so the key is balancing that top end speed with tempo and threshold work. I really like multi pace workouts with give you a mix of stimulus combined with a high (obviously this is subjective) volume of easy
Hopefully your new job is going well!
It’s great! Very busy but great!
The last 2 shoes are gorgeous 🙏🏼
The last one has me the most excited!
Love this shoe! I rotate this shoe with the ASICS Superblast. I think it shines at all speeds but I keep mileage under 10k
Great breakdown. I'm looking forward to your 2024 favorites for each category!
How long will the shoe last
Get me one of those bouncy Mizunos!
I’m actually super intrigued to try em out based on the SC Elite comparison. Did a trial run in those this summer and they’re high on my “first super shoe?” List
So to be clear, the shoe itself is nothing like the sc elite haha. It’s just the underfoot sensation is if you took the foam from the sc elite and put it in a “carrier” or container as it compresses that’s how I felt to me if that makes sense
How many miles do you say you can get out of the brooks ghost max 1 thank you
I would think 3-400
Just purchased the new black/winter sky color way for those recovery runs price is a bit steep but excited for the feel of the shoe.
It’s definitely comfy! Can’t say I didn’t enjoy my miles in them
Awesome review, spot on in analysis with its firmness/stability. The Monster 2’s are definitely for me. I have wide/flat feet and the first time I put them on, it was as if the clouds opened up. One of the first shoes where I don’t need to order a 2E..And the design/colorways are 🔥. I highly recommend them.
Are they good for running on wet and muddy place?
Nope, the traction is pretty minimal so it’ll pick up a lot of mud
@raddadbodtv oh
Any recommendation for treadmill only shoes? from jogging to short sprinting bursts.
Not really such thing as treadmill shoes. The only thing I’ll say is that depending on the treadmill you an maybe get away with less cushion than you’d normally like
@@raddadbodtv Thanks. I was thinking of Novablast 4 or 5 but was concerned if they would be too cushioned
Is this the new version of the cloud go?
Yup!
why is it every video i watch you got a runny nose? is it that cold from where you live? just wondering since im from a tropical country lol
😂🤷🏻♂️ I’m in Utah so it is cold yes but I think it’s more that the weather flip flops a lot and it’s also desert so extremely dry
I just bought these today at REI! I enjoyed your video. They seem very breathable I hope 🤞 because my feet seem to get hot so fast! First pair of Topos. Very comfortable shoes and the insole was very nice also I agree. It felt really good under my arches which I loooovvvvvve. Subscribed! 🎉🙂 🎉👍🙌
Thank you! Hope you enjoy them, I think topo is going to be a household name very soon. They make a great product
And good job so far
Appreciate that man!!
Keep it up
You gained a new subscriber sir, thanks sir I am pretty confident to purchase this (200$) and wear during my training and physical assessments of military, thank you for clearing my doubts precisely.
Glad I could help!!
Any thoughts on the stability? I have the 3s, and found I was rolling my ankles a lot. I ended up getting the asics trabuco max. And, I love them! But, my hiking boots are topos, and they’re the most comfortable hiking boots I’ve ever had. So, I’m always open to topos.
I felt like these were very stable but they don’t have aggressive traction so maybe that was part of the cause with the rolling? The trabuco has a much more aggressive lug pattern
i see cloudboom strike at the back 👀 review coming soon?
Yup! It’s the next one I’m filming! Will drop mid week next week
@ looking forward to it!
Do you think they can be winter running shoes when there's some snow and water puddles on the ground?
I didn’t get to try them too much wet terrain so I’m not 100% sure how I would handle powder
Tiny thing to note - no harm mentioning 'grams' in your shoes weight talk - thanks your non-US viewers!
Will it lose its bouncing ability as time passes??
Yes all shoes do but these have been reported to last much longer
@ thanks sir,,, should I rely on them for 1 whole year?
@@PlainDude-g2i Depends on your weight usually 400-600 miles
@@Aron-t6m I am just 68 kg hardly 150 pounds so I am good. I am ordering it on bolx magneta as its only one available
@ honestly it depends on how much and often you run. Most shoes only last 3-400 miles max and these even if you take them 700 miles will probably not last as long if you wear them daily
Super helpful video Eric! I actually watched it a couple of times to absorb everything. I think some sort of chart or something to follow along as you went could've been a helpful visual aid but the explanations and differences as you explained them were great!
Yeahhhhh I have dreams of becoming a better producer for my videos haha. Believe it or not it took me some time to be able to quickly edit this minimally! 😂 I’m going to get there though! I have charts in my brain and I just try to explain them for now but I want to create some graphics
oh man, you do so much and so well! I wonder if Dall-e or something could whip up some images for you haha
@ I really should leverage some tools haha. I’ve thought about outsourcing some stuff. This year was about establishing myself as a reviewer and building relationships in the industry. 2025 will be about improvement!!!
Yessss love it!
I use the same shoes. What are you opinions on them?
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!
100% correct about not wearing carbon for daily runs
still durable as always?
Yeah as far as I’ve heard and felt myself
So true! Preach
The superblast is nearly as rigid as the SC trianer V3 and most plated trainers
I agree but the lack of a plate makes it more versatile still as they shouldn’t be as harsh on the feet. Though studies could prove that thought wrong in the future but I haven’t heard anything about stiffer responsive foams straining the lower limbs as much as a carbon plate
Great review. Hard shoe to find in stock!
I would have reviewed it sooner had I found it in stock anywhere other than stockx 😂. Appreciate you man!
If you frequently check the ASICS site, you can find shoes. But order the same day!
Gotta watch like a HAWK
Thanks for addressing the width & stability! That's something I love about my Hyperion Max's, too! I've run a handful of half marathons in the v1 and use them as my faster pace distance and "sprints to miles" workout shoes. They're almost at retirement, and the Max 2s are likely what I'll get.
Unreal setup buddy! Where are you located?
I’m an Utah guy!
