I've put nearly 300 miles on the first version of these and love them, very pleased the successor sounds even better, it will be my first shoe purchase of 2023!
I tested out, invincible 2, Asics novablast 3 and gel nimbus-25... This Puma destroys them. It's so versatile and bouncy even when you walk ! Shaped to perfection and that Puma grip !
Nimbus goes in a way different category. The others you mention are just non-plated daily trainers. Can't even compare them to a carbon racer shoe as the deviate nitro elite 2 is

Great video Ed, keep up the great work, I managed over 1000 miles before I retired my Puma Velocity Nitro, brilliant daily trainer. I’ve since purchased another couple of pairs for my rotation.
Wow, what a score - 98%!! Thanks for the review and the encouraging words. 🙏 Sounds like a great shoe. I have the Deviate Nitro 2 and love it, even though I have yet to run in it due to an injury. Can’t wait though, should be a few more weeks. This Deviate Nitro Elite 2 will stay on my radar too.
Puma has blown me away the last few years. 2022s lineup was super solid, and I’m excited for 2023. Velocity and deviate nitro 2 have been superb! Deviate elite 2 next? I think so…
I forgot that I had an actual question for you Edd; have you tried any of the WTR versions of the Puma shoes? I was debating picking up the WTR version of the Deviate Nitro 2 to see me through the inclement British winter, but reviews are practically nonexistent.
Imagine someone is watching this video who has never been running. They probably don’t understand a single word of what he’s talking about! Edd, I love your videos! That will be definitely my next race shoe after I finished up my vaporfly next %2.
I bought these shoes after watching this video. They came in yesterday took them for a simple 5 mile run. Was at a 6:59 pace and they were perfect. I’ll try them on the long run on Friday but for a short run these are the shoes to beat.
Hi edd 👊 , im really enjoying puma and there Australian Sydney store has brilliant customer service and prices 👏 😀, down the track puma will be a big part in the rotation 👌 😀
Wow, that is a very high score! I really like the v1...but for training. Performance is in my opinion a step behind the Nikes I would use for racing. But this has a less aggressive ride that works better at slower paces as well.
Took mine out yesterday afternoon only 5k but I was very impressed with them hopefully I can do the London marathon in them once I’ve broken them in a bit
Great Initial review, I have been loving my Puma rotation (using the original elite for interval / speed work) it just falls a little short when it comes to would I do 26.2 in it (compared to the endorphin pro 3) , perhaps the tweaks in the 2 might give me an alternative (a bit like I prefer the nitro2 over the speed 3) ? we shall see . Look forward to your long run review.
Thanks for this review! I love the softness of v1 since this is firmer as you said i pass this. But this is one of the best colorway on a running shoe so far
Thanks for this! I just bought the elite 2 today, havent went out for a run yet but my experience from trying it in store is very similar to what you mentioned and im expecting to love this shoe a lot in my future runs
Sounds like a better version of V1..the 1st was very comfortable and enjoying to run in for shorter runs but didn't have the forefoot cushioning to make it a faster ride..the traction was very good so I used it mostly on dirt cos the cushioning was not up to the task of pounding the pavement..
Hi Edd. I started a running UA-cam channel a few months ago and appreciate that sentiment. It's a long way to the top if I want to rock and roll. I'll keep at it. I always enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work! I have the Puma Velocity Nitro 2, the Deviate Nitro 2 and just recently got the first version of the Deviate Elite. Those are all some excellent shoes from Puma. I'll be looking to pick up the Elite 2 at some point. It looks like the tongue in that shoe is very similar to the tongue in the DN2. Is it gusseted now as well as being padded? I'm a big guy for a distance runner, 6'4'' 225 pounds and even in my size, US 12, the Deviate Elite is so light. It's lighter than the Tukumi Sen 8 in my size. I need to get a few more runs in that shoe before my final verdict, but I'm really liking it so far and the DN2 is one of the best shoes that I've tried in a while. Puma is back in a big way!
Good review Ed. As someone with wide feet, I always find Puma shoes very narrow,.even though I really like the feel of their shoes when I tried them in retail stores. Will try this one out.
I don't even have wide feet and I think Puma are narrow 😂 I've got the Deviate Nitro elite v1 and I'm about to put them up for sale with about 10 miles in them! Just can't get a decent lockdown in them and they squeeze my feet 🤦🏻♂️
I'm liking what Puma are doing. These look like another hit. I'm not sure about the colour way, to me it looks like two shoes stuck together!!! As ever Mr. Edd great video you cool cat 🐈
Just got the last Elite model for less than £80 delivered from Start Fitness. I love the Deviate Nitro 2. Hard to fault as a perfect winter daily type trainer that can also pick up the pace. Puma grip is unrivalled. Looking forward to seeing how the Elite goes and will wait for a good discount on the this new model.
Did the same. The only problem is the winter weather in Belgium, the upper breathes so well I have to use very thick winter socks to avoid frostbite and the ensuing socially unacceptable gangrene… Eagerly awaiting my Deviates V1 WTR!
I would love to get my hands on that ferocious feline footwear. However, I just bought the Epix 2 and my marital agreement does not allow for more running related stuff the coming months. I also have 3 racing shoes already and they last quite long...
Since your last 'bargain' video I ordered a pair of Deviate Nitro Elite at Start Fitness about three weeks ago, they've still not made it across the channel. Even slower than my half marathon tempo, i'll be able to compare them to the nitro elite 3 version around next christmas. :-)
I bought the 1's today for AUD 84 (GBP 48). I had the choice of half size up or half down, and went for down. I am thinking that it would be a good tempo shoe. I am hoping to run in it in the next month or so if I am back to running generally. The only non outlet puma store in Sydney.
I have the Puma Deviate Nitro 2, and this shoe looks just like it. It's funny how the Nitro 2 and Nitro 2 Elite look the same, but feel different underfoot.
Which other shoe had the 11.8 shoe? And I seemed to have watched this video but the content feels so new to me. Gonna try this shoe out in the shop tomorrow. There is a 75th anniversary colorway
Looking forward to a 50 mile and or 100 mile review. Still not available here in the states. Would you recommend this over the Deviate Nitro 2 for someone's first half marathon?
Hi Edd, good review! Any plans to review the Liberate Nitro 2 for us old schoolers who like a bit more ground feel? I think the first version is possibly my favourite shoe ever.
There will be less ground feel as they are adding a bit more stack and new upper. Heavier more daily trainer type shoe (v2). Liberate Nitro 1 has too much ground feel for me on the road but it has been one of my favorite track workout shoes.
Excitement over Edd, Puma SA clearly not a subscriber to your UK channel!! Elite 2 now available but only in full sizes (my puma size is UK 9.5 ) but it gets more disappointing....RSP R 4500.00, for me (ex Glasgow boy) it's a non starter
For sure buying this version 2 for next race. I used elite 1 for my virgin full marathon. Was absolutely perfect. Comparing weight with version elite 1?
@@EDDBUD I am with runnin3216. I watched BITR Austin Running Event video (Puma Running 2023: Foreverrun Nitro, Liberate & Magnify Nitro 2 | Live from The Running Event) related to PUMA Road Running Shoes again and the PUMA Rep (Todd) shows the new plate vs the old plate and explains why it is not forked around 5:25.
Edd what waches do you have on your hands? I'm looking for a new Garmin, some middle-cheaper model, what do you recomend? Pumas seems nice. 👍 And Amiga game - Shadow of the Beast 🐈⬛😁🥰
Great review as always Ed! 2 questions for you. Any idea when this is being released? Also which would you go for out of the DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 2 or the Nike Invincible 3?
Is it a good marathon shoe Edd? Would you use it for your run in April? I love my Velocity Nitro 2. Very hard wearing for theses cold winter runs in Sweden. Is the Deviate nitro Elite 2 a better shoe? Going to run the Rome marathon in March and still pondering over shoe choice.😊Appreciate your channel and your wise words.
Just got the Deviate Nitro 2. Fit is perfect. Deviate nitro elite V1 was very narrow for me. Is the Deviate Nitro Elite 2 same width (forefoot / midfoot) like the Deviate Nitro 2?
those Puma race shoes either look really normal, you wouldn't say the Deviate Elite is a super shoe just by looks. On the other hand, the Fast R and especially the Fast-Roid looks like one of the most extreme shoes ever created.
Is it really "only" 170 in the UK? Price in Germany is 210 €, but besides that that is a really interesting shoe ... BTW, what is the difference between this shoe and the "Deviate Elite Racer"?
How do these shoes compare with the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2? Are they faster? I find the Speeds to be quite fast but I don't like the lack of stability. Are these more stable?
Need help! Been using Brooks Ghosts for years now as my everday shoe and it’s got me from couch to Marathon but trying to find something to help with running faster, do you think this or even the normal Deviate 2s would be suffice? Trying to keep my Ghosts for building distance but something else to compliment the tempo workouts and use on race days. Cheers!
V1 felt decent for my 5-10K runs not as good as Takumi sen 8 but still better than streakfly. I was hoping they would get rid of the excess foam but they went to otherway added even more foam. Oh well wcyd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Can it act as a full marathon shoe?? I am a bit skeptical.. i am leaning a bit towards the Endorphin pro 3/metaspeed lineup because of their foam. Please suggest anyone, discount shopping is about to start😅
How is the durability over time? I ordered a pair online and they arrived with a tear in the really thin upper. I have been offered an exchange of a refund and don't know if I should bother exchanging it it is going to be a recurring issue
@@EDDBUD Yeah it was out the box, I ended up exchanging them and the new pair are perfect. Really comfortable and I love using them. Probably my favourite pair of shoes I own :)
Can I occasionally use it as Daily trainer or for Treadmill running are they durable enough? And which one will be better Asics Magic speed 2 or these?
@@EDDBUD means I can buy them instead of Deviate Nitro 2 for daily training and treadmill running? BTW I am from India and a huge fan if your videos❤️😀
Edd you are the only shoetuber I watch that has kept it true. You are the same from the first time I watched your channel. I appreciate that
Right on

I'm on my 3rd pair of Puma trainers now. Love them! will go for these after my Deviate 2's are shot. Thanks Edd.
I’m really enjoying the original it’s great at slower paces too. Probably one of the most versatile race shoes out there.
Yes people have seriously missed out not trying it! Thanks for the support Claire 👍🏼👊

Not tried the WTR versions. Maybe a viewer can help?

Most probably. In general few understand me even in the supermarket. 👍🏼🤣
We love our Eddbud and his reviews. Say, could you do a review comparing the Deviate 2 with the Elite 2? Which should I buy? Input needed Eddbud.
That would be great to see, I absolutely love my deviate 2s but I’m interested in the difference to them and the elites.
I would include Endorphin Pro3 in that comparison. Which would be your choice for different kind of runs?
Coming soon. Will do a full model by model comparison.
Beast and PUMA..... A marketing match made in heaven! 🖤🐈⬛
🤣👍🏼
Great review, I can't wait to try this one out! Nice to see beast make an appearance.
Beast was half asleep. Otherwise I would be lacerated! 👍🏼🤣
I bought these shoes after watching this video. They came in yesterday took them for a simple 5 mile run. Was at a 6:59 pace and they were perfect. I’ll try them on the long run on Friday but for a short run these are the shoes to beat.

@@EDDBUD thanks.
Thanks for this review! I love the softness of v1 since this is firmer as you said i pass this. But this is one of the best colorway on a running shoe so far
It’s not massively firmer. But a bit more stable
sweet shoe, sweet shirt.
It’s my fav right now. Shoe is alright too

It is the best yet. Does almost anything well!
@@EDDBUD Thank you for the reply, alright I'm getting even more excited about it. : )
Excellent review! You mentioned equal best ever score of 11.8 out of 12. What was the other shoe that scored 11.8 out of 12? Keep up the great work!
Primex strung was top as well

Hahaha.. don't say that.. I just ordered a pair based on the same review 🤣😂
Let’s hope they arrive soon. I had many parcels held up. Good old uk 🤦🏻♂️🤣
The customs want their pint of Brexit blood before delivering them. Cost me about 40€ per pair.
Amazing shirt!

Original worked in either true to size or half down, very impressive on discount too.
If its 40mm stack in your size its going to be under that on the size 8. Gives Puma a few mm to play with for the version 3 😉
Keep up the good work 👍
Thanks for tuning in
Omg! I love the Deviate Nitro 2, but this one looks the bomb!
Just take my money! 💰
It’s quite something!
Who knew Puma would come screaming back! I sell a few, not well known yet. I think slowly getting popular.
Yes people are catching on with the cat
I have the Puma Deviate Nitro 2, and this shoe looks just like it. It's funny how the Nitro 2 and Nitro 2 Elite look the same, but feel different underfoot.
The nitro 2 is part EVA, this is all nitro pebax stuff.
@EDDBUD must be an amazing difference. That Nitro EVA on the Deviate 2 reminds me a lot of the foam on the (I'm going way back) Skechers Speed Elite.
My comment is supposed to be here edd. Sorry for the confusion 🤣.
Anyway,love the colorway on these. Hoping we get to have them here in my area.
I think they just launched here but seems different in all zones
Which other shoe had the 11.8 shoe?
And I seemed to have watched this video but the content feels so new to me.
Gonna try this shoe out in the shop tomorrow. There is a 75th anniversary colorway

Will keep an eye out
Apparently, the preproduction ink blotch models were smaller. The production colorways are apparently coming in TTS.
Would be nice if puma sold the shoe! It’s something I’ve been looking for so you are lucky to get it!

Still not available here in the states. Would you recommend this over the Deviate Nitro 2 for someone's first half marathon?
Yes the elite is quite a bit lighter and a more race like upper. It’s well worth it

Hi Edd, good review! Any plans to review the Liberate Nitro 2 for us old schoolers who like a bit more ground feel? I think the first version is possibly my favourite shoe ever.
Will speak to my contacts and see if I can make it happen
@@EDDBUD nice, I do like the nitro foam although the Velocity Nitro 2 took a bit of getting used to.
There will be less ground feel as they are adding a bit more stack and new upper. Heavier more daily trainer type shoe (v2). Liberate Nitro 1 has too much ground feel for me on the road but it has been one of my favorite track workout shoes.
looking forward to the Elite 2 launch later this month in South Africa, PUMA - get the SA Rand pricing right!
It’s a right banger! Amazing shoe
Excitement over Edd, Puma SA clearly not a subscriber to your UK channel!! Elite 2 now available but only in full sizes (my puma size is UK 9.5 ) but it gets more disappointing....RSP R 4500.00, for me (ex Glasgow boy) it's a non starter
Closing in on 35k subscribers…
Almost there
For sure buying this version 2 for next race. I used elite 1 for my virgin full marathon. Was absolutely perfect. Comparing weight with version elite 1?
A touch heavier in the v2. I find them both pretty light in all honesty.
*WOWEE!* The joint-highest *EVER* score! 😮 👀
Yep up there with the primex strung.
Nice Review!
Thanks for tuning in!
The original version had the forked plate. This one is not. There were a couple of videos from TRE of the rep showing the different plates.

From the images i was sent the plate appears to be forked here.

Great review as always Ed! 2 questions for you. Any idea when this is being released? Also which would you go for out of the DEVIATE NITRO ELITE 2 or the Nike Invincible 3?
No word yet. I think it may be out in parts of Europe. At the moment I prefer this above almost everything else
Nice review Edd. As a first carbon plate shoe, how it is compared against new balance elite v3, and endorphin pro 3?
Not tried the the SC Elite 3, but these are less squashy than the pro 3 but provide a more aggressive and nimble ride.
Is it a good marathon shoe Edd? Would you use it for your run in April? I love my Velocity Nitro 2. Very hard wearing for theses cold winter runs in Sweden. Is the Deviate nitro Elite 2 a better shoe? Going to run the Rome marathon in March and still pondering over shoe choice.😊Appreciate your channel and your wise words.
It’s in the running for my Brighton marathon effort for sure
Under Armour uses double lace loops on some of its shoes.
They have the knowledge!
Just got the Deviate Nitro 2. Fit is perfect. Deviate nitro elite V1 was very narrow for me. Is the Deviate Nitro Elite 2 same width (forefoot / midfoot) like the Deviate Nitro 2?
Bit more width here. It’s a top shoe
those Puma race shoes either look really normal, you wouldn't say the Deviate Elite is a super shoe just by looks. On the other hand, the Fast R and especially the Fast-Roid looks like one of the most extreme shoes ever created.
This one is a great race shoe. It’s worth checking out if the Vaporfly is not an option
Is it really "only" 170 in the UK? Price in Germany is 210 €, but besides that that is a really interesting shoe ...
BTW, what is the difference between this shoe and the "Deviate Elite Racer"?
It quite the more conventional shoe compared to the fast-r nitro elite. This one more for the masses i think
Shame they abandoned value after one popular shoe... Should be $160 max.
Thanks for the spoon idea btw.
Spoon reviews, i dont see anyone doing them. Or hand driers.
Jesus...that shoe looks amazing. There goes my wallet once again ahahhaha.
Thanks Edd! You rock man
It is both a looker and performer. A bit like Bon Scott from AC:DC
@@EDDBUD Good one 😁😅
The DNE2.
I am green.

BADLY.
New contender for Brighton marathon shoe of choice?
Yes its absolutely in the mix!
Use to all day
Hi EDDBUD
Is the Stack a little bit higher at the forefoot vs version 1?
It does seem a little higher yes
How do these shoes compare with the Saucony Endorphin Speed 2?
Are they faster? I find the Speeds to be quite fast but I don't like the lack of stability. Are these more stable?
Similar. But a more rigid feel due to the carbon plate. Better outsole here
🎵It's a long way ..... to the shops ..... when you want a sausage roll !! 🎵

Trying to keep my Ghosts for building distance but something else to compliment the tempo workouts and use on race days. Cheers!
The deviate nitro 2 is a good bet. Though not all that much lighter. Maybe examine the speed from Saucony.
@@EDDBUD cheers! Will have a look into them 👍
V1 felt decent for my 5-10K runs not as good as Takumi sen 8 but still better than streakfly. I was hoping they would get rid of the excess foam but they went to otherway added even more foam. Oh well wcyd ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Hey! Long this weekend Ed if so Nitro Elite 2?
🥉 Hope to run with Kev
What other shoe was 11.8 score ?
I would guess it was the Adidas Prime X Strung
Spot on
Is the heel section as comfortable as in the deviate "non-elite" nitro 2?
Softer and less present round the heel
I found V1 narrow and had heel slip.. Is V2 wider and better heel lock down? It does look like a wider forefoot?
Yes I do mention it’s wider and had no heel slip
@@EDDBUD Sorry its late in my part of the world..
How does it compare to the Adios Pro 2 in responsiveness and rigidity/curvature of the plate?
Adios pro 2 more aggressive and less stable.
Can it act as a full marathon shoe?? I am a bit skeptical.. i am leaning a bit towards the Endorphin pro 3/metaspeed lineup because of their foam. Please suggest anyone, discount shopping is about to start😅
Don’t see why not. It’s the most trainer of the super shoes. But that’s no bad thing.
great remarks about youtube..
Glad you think so!
When does puma grip ever let you down
Never. Never that’s when!
How is the durability over time? I ordered a pair online and they arrived with a tear in the really thin upper. I have been offered an exchange of a refund and don't know if I should bother exchanging it it is going to be a recurring issue
Out the box? Had no issues at all. Mine look brand new at 100 miles
@@EDDBUD Yeah it was out the box, I ended up exchanging them and the new pair are perfect. Really comfortable and I love using them. Probably my favourite pair of shoes I own :)
Can I occasionally use it as Daily trainer or for Treadmill running are they durable enough? And which one will be better Asics Magic speed 2 or these?
Seems easily durable enough

@@EDDBUD means I can buy them instead of Deviate Nitro 2 for daily training and treadmill running?
BTW I am from India and a huge fan if your videos❤️😀
Release date?
Maybe February, but some are saying only in March.
I think later in Feb
Planned Obsolescence would make a great name for a band! 🤣
They could all resign at the end of each album.
@@EDDBUD Ending in the legendary 'Black Album'! 🤣
@@Average_Joel_Runs Love the Spinal Tap early band names. The originals, the new originals, back to the originals again.
@@EDDBUD so long as you aren't 'Stumpy' Peyps enjoy away@
These or the deviate nitro 2? for training and amateur racing?
These are a fair amount lighter and much more breathable upper.
@@EDDBUD but can one endure longer runs and not get the feet destroyed at lower paces?
@@ganchinho I don’t see why not. They are very cushioned.
@@EDDBUD oh well, I should have asked you before, I just bought the DN2 :(
That reminds me, I feel like a sausage roll
What was the other shoe that scored 11.8?
Primex strung

Fast r or this one?
This one hits it better for me
@@EDDBUD Thanks Ed!
