Puma Deviate Elite

>>> Mission accomplished! <<< ...not a "checkmate", but a great REMIS at reference level! With (its) "premium version" of the successful DEVIATE NITRO model, Puma has managed to create an absolute outperformer in the carbon racer segment! Lowest weight, paired with high-quality materials, albeit with a somewhat inconspicuous look, result in an extremely good overall package. The workmanship of the DEVIATE ELITE is high quality, the fit is nice and narrow (except for the heel) and the grip, especially on asphalt, is also impressive. In terms of running dynamics, the ELITE reaches reference level! The InnoPlate in combination with the PEBA-based midsole foam creates a very successful rolling motion with a "strong forward push". Only heel runners need to be a little careful when trying on the shoe, as there is a certain instability in the heel area due to the height and the soft midsole foam. For midfoot and forefoot runners, however: "Fire away!" With the DEVIATE ELITE, you are absolutely able to attack your best times for a "relatively low" RRP of €200. The competition is usually in the €220 - €300 range Therefore, both thumbs go clearly up!
