PUMA is pushing the boundaries of running technology with the launch of the Fast RB NITRO™ Elite, a shoe that embodies the brand’s commitment to innovation and speed. With its rule-breaking features and bold design, this new release aims to redefine what it means to be fast.
SNEAKERS
Available globally on August 28, 2024, the Fast RB NITRO™ Elite is a limited-edition offering, with only 1,000 pairs available worldwide, making it a highly coveted piece for runners and sneaker enthusiasts alike.
Performance
The Fast RB NITRO™ Elite is designed to deliver unparalleled performance. One of its standout features is the use of three PWRPLATEs, strategically placed within the shoe to provide powerful propulsion. These plates work in harmony with the 58mm stack height of PUMA’s advanced NITROFOAM™ Elite, offering maximum bounce and speed. This combination creates a unique cushioning and responsiveness experience that goes beyond traditional running shoes, giving athletes a competitive edge in their pursuit of personal bests.
Design
PUMA has taken a bold approach to the design of the Fast RB NITRO™ Elite, with an unapologetically unconventional aesthetic. The shoe features a unique laceless mesh upper, reinforced with PWRTAPE for added stability and support. The absence of laces not only contributes to its sleek look but also enhances the overall fit and comfort, allowing runners to focus solely on their performance. The shoe’s innovative design is complemented by PUMAGRIP technology, providing reliable traction on various surfaces, ensuring runners can tackle any terrain with confidence.
Speed and Innovation
By incorporating technology that pushes the limits of conventional running shoes, PUMA is making a bold declaration of its intent to be both the fastest and most innovative brand in the world. This shoe challenges the traditional confines of elite race-day footwear, offering a glimpse into the future of running technology.
“Our elite race day running shoes are often confided to work within the rules, but with Fast RB NITRO™ Elite, we asked the question: what if we pushed running technology as far as we can? This is not just a running shoe; it’s a statement. Proof of our intent to not only be the fastest brand in the world, but the most innovative.” – said Romain Girard, Head of Innovation Design at PUMA.
Eye-Catching Colorways
The PUMA Fast RB NITRO Elite is available in two striking colorways that enhance its futuristic appeal. The Psychedelic Rush colorway features a vibrant hue with silver outlines and a black PUMA formstrip, designed to make runners feel as fast as they look. For those seeking a more understated yet dynamic option, the Black-Sun Stream colorway combines a sleek black upper with a vibrant fireglow sole, offering a high-contrast aesthetic that stands out on the track.

The shoe will be available on PUMA.com, in select PUMA stores, and through selected retailers across key markets, including the USA, UK, Central Europe, Nordics, Thailand, Japan, China, and Australia. This limited availability makes the Fast RB NITRO™ Elite not only a high-performance running shoe but also a collector’s item for those who value innovation and style.
