No matter whether you’re doing sprints on the pavement, jogging a coastal track or competing in a marathon, PUMA men’s running shoes are with you every step of the way, helping you push further and go harder. Maintain your stride with shoes engineered to go the distance with you, thanks to advanced fabric technology like NITRO™ foam and PUMAGRIP.
Combining performance, support and comfort, they deliver the durability and versatility you need. From everyday running shoes to train in, to something for those important race days, you’ll find the best in men’s running shoes here at PUMA NZ.
What’s the difference between PUMA’s NITRO Elite and NITRO for men?
To cater to every runner, our men’s running shoes come with unique technologies to match the intent behind your run, and the NITRO collection delivers across the board. When it comes to the Nitro Elite, they’re the ones you want to be lacing up for those race days where you need to put down some serious speed. They’re high-performance and utilise responsive NITROFOAM Elite, which is designed to be ultra lightweight while delivering incredible responsiveness with every step. Combined with PUMAGRIP, you get the traction you need for maximum propulsion when you’re aiming to beat the competition and reach that new PB.
NITRO is just as comfortable, though it’s designed for everyday training. They’re especially well suited to distance runners who need that extra support, thanks to the thicker NITRO foam. Whether you’re training for a marathon or just doing a recovery run, the NITRO 2 was created to deliver durability and support.
How is PUMA adapting its men’s running shoe technology for NZ’s running culture?
New Zealand’s conditions are variable, both in terrain and weather. From long and even roads to rocky tracks, men’s running shoes need to be adaptable to keep up. To match the unique conditions in New Zealand, PUMA technology combines fabrics that deliver support, traction and control so you can take everything the conditions throw your way in your stride.
One of the key innovations is PUMAGRIP. This rubber compound material ensures you have the stability and traction you need, all while making for a supportive feel under the foot. RUNGUIDE is another advanced upgrade, keeping your foot centred through each step to keep you on track and pushing forward.
What new features are introduced in PUMA’s 2025 men’s running collection?
Our running collection sets itself apart from the rest thanks to the design and the materials we use. In 2025, we’ve upgraded our NITRO foam once again, with greater options to suit the different needs that New Zealand runners have. In our ForeverRun NITRO shoes, dual-density foam delivers even greater cushioning, which is perfect for distance running but also for supporting those with overpronation.
To ensure a snug fit that won’t chafe or leave gaps around your feet, our uppers have been engineered to be as lightweight as possible while also giving you the control you need to maintain your maximum pace. We also manufacture different shapes and sole designs to correct or support wide feet, narrow feet and issues like overpronation. If you want to feel like you’re running on air, lace up with the most advanced PUMA running shoes yet.
Which PUMA running shoes best suit trail runs versus road runs?
Matching your footwear to the environment you prefer to run in can make a world of difference in not only having a more comfortable training session but also in achieving new heights in speed. For those of you who love to run through rougher terrain like forest tracks, gravel roads and even along the beach, the Fast-Trac NITRO 3 men’s running shoes are your top bet. Featuring robust outsoles, incredible cushioning and excellent grip from the PUMAGRIP ATR, you can traverse everything from mud to ice. Designed to go the distance, these training shoes can keep going for up to 800km.
If you’re a city runner, training on the footpath or a treadmill, something like the Deviate NITRO or Velocity NITRO is an incredible choice. Both are exceptionally lightweight and designed for control, and the NITROFOAM promises a combination of responsiveness and cushioning.
How does PUMA balance speed, cushioning, and responsiveness in its men’s running range?
To deliver on all fronts - speed, support, and responsiveness - PUMA men’s running shoes combine advanced technology with innovative design. From carbon fibre plates and nitrogen-injected soles to rubber compound materials for grip, you can have it all. Our advances in material quality mean you can lace up a pair of ultra lightweight shoes that won’t hold you back while also getting the support, grip and protection you need for your anatomy and running style. It’s all in the fit.
Are PUMA running shoes designed to support heavier, endurance-focused runners?
Absolutely. Along with shoes designed for speed and agility when you’re sprinting, we cater to long-distance runners with our running trainers. Options like the Velocity NITRO range and FAST-R NITRO Elite collection deliver maximum cushioning support for those runners who need an ultra-soft platform to absorb the impact of thousands of steps in a single session.
These ranges will protect your joints during extended efforts, with the added benefit of greater stability to maintain the alignment you need during fatigue-heavy stages of a run.
What role does the PUMAGRIP outsole play in enhancing traction?
PUMAGRIP is one of our standout innovations. When you’re running, you want to be able to focus on your breath and gait, not the conditions. Keep your eyes in the distance and push further, knowing that PUMAGRIP will keep you steady across all terrain.
Crafted from a rubber compound, it was designed to provide superior traction across a wide range of surfaces - spanning everything from wet pavement and gravel to slippery trails. It’s been tested in varying conditions to ensure Kiwi runners can rely on their footing regardless of the environment.
