Puma’s flagship technology, which defines the brand’s running shoes, is Nitro foam. Thanks to a nitrogen saturation process, this material offers excellent cushioning and resilience. This solution is present in both training shoes designed for slow, easy running and in racing shoes aimed at professionals. Let’s take a closer look at these.
