Puma introduced the DV8 Nitro Elite 4
0:04
at the running event and uh Todd from
0:08
Puma is going to give us a description.
0:10
They're both significantly lighter and
0:12
more lively than before. We have full
0:15
written multitester reviews linked here
0:17
at the end and in the description.
0:19
To be with you for another year, Sam,
0:21
give me give me the intro. Let's go.
0:23
Okay, so we're with Todd and uh from
0:27
Puma. He's the product lead for running
0:30
and uh there's going to be some more
0:32
marbles to follow the already great
0:36
early 26. So when are these coming out?
0:39
What are we looking at?
0:40
Yeah, great question. So this is uh the
0:41
DV8 Nitro 4 launching in the middle of
0:43
January. Um DV8 has been Puma's hero
0:46
franchise basically from the very very
0:48
beginning. We were one of the very first
0:49
brands to have two super critical foams
0:52
sandwiching that carbon fiber power
0:54
plate. Um small updates. So, we have the
0:57
100% Paxbacks on B on top and then the
0:59
Pbacks blend on the bottom. Um, and then
1:01
the carbon fiber composite power plate
1:04
kind of sandwiched in there. So, the D8
1:06
is really for the person looking for a
1:08
speed shoe, but it's durable enough for
1:10
everyday training or for just long
1:13
Outsole. Yep. And what do we what do
1:15
what's different in this uh edition?
1:17
Yeah. So, you got your Puma grip here.
1:19
Um, I think some people gave us the
1:21
feedback in the previous version that it
1:23
was a little bit narrow. So, we really
1:25
adjusted the fit to be more in the
1:26
middle of that bell curve. Um, not going
1:28
to call it wider. It'll be just in the
1:30
middle. Um, and then widening the upper
1:32
allowed us also to kind of widen the
1:34
midfoot and the geometry a little bit.
1:36
Um, so I find it to be the smoothest
1:38
riding and most stable deviate yet. Um,
1:40
and yeah, we're at $170 coming in
1:43
January. Really, more or less?
1:46
Yeah, we're at about 245 gram. So, we
1:49
took about 20 gram out of the 265 from
1:52
Wow. And same stack of uh 38 and then an
1:57
But you got rid of a lot of weight.
1:59
Yeah. Yeah. I think that's just smart
2:01
design. Good geometry and foam. And I
2:03
mean even the way that we like gusseted
2:05
a little bit, right? Like just being
2:07
teeny here and there.
2:09
Our our design team is really talented.
2:11
They do a lot of great work
2:12
and they worry about grams.
2:16
thank you so much. Get the DV8 Nitro 4.
2:18
This is the DV8 Nitro Elite 4 launching
2:21
the beginning of the February. Um,
2:23
version 3 was one of the best shoes in
2:25
my opinion maybe ever made and that's
2:27
the feedback that we got. So, it was a
2:28
really challenge of how we update this.
2:30
But this is your marathon or just longd
2:32
distance lightweight performance carbon
2:34
running shoes. Um, so we were able to
2:36
take about 20 g out of this shoe. We're
2:38
down to 170 by using a lighter, softer
2:41
version of best foam in the game, Nitro
2:43
Elite. Um, a little bit firmer
2:45
underneath for good stability. We've got
2:47
that carbon fiber power plate with the
2:50
ridges fully car um thermofformed ready
2:57
I can imagine trying to do the ounces
3:04
roughly 40 and then still that
3:05
so the full stack drop
3:06
the full maximum you can do.
3:08
Yep. Yeah. 40 in the heel and 32. So
3:11
yeah I mean I think people love this.
3:13
The goal is not to make too many
3:14
changes. So, new mesh, a little bit more
3:16
breathable, a little bit lighter weight.
3:18
Um, great fit, great comfort, you know,
3:20
for heel strikers, for really for
3:22
anybody, though. I mean, um, Fiona
3:23
O'Keefe just got fourth in the New York
3:25
City Marathon in this. Um, and she chose
3:27
this over the Fast Dog. Both are good
3:29
shoes, but uh, DV8 Elite 4 is going to
3:32
Yeah. Great. Cool. There.
