A rise in style and a drop in weight. How does the Puma Velocity Nitro 4 perform on the road?
PROS
Style, weight, versatile, excellent outsole
CONS
Midsole softness for heavier runners, snug fit
VERDICT
For all sense and purposes, the VN4 is a big step up from the Velocity Nitro 3. While Puma upped the stakes in the style department, the big improvement is the weight - down from 300 g to a rakish 248 g. While the midsole made from Nitro foam will be just what’s needed for some, as a heavier runner it unfortunately lacked the firmness required to get the most out of these.
