Running Through Hurricane Debby in the Puma Fast-R Nitro 2
August 16, 2024
watch on youtubeThe Puma Fast-R Nitro 2 is a marathon racing shoe designed for speed and power. Priced at $260, it's the brand's most aggressive race option and is also the shoe of choice for Canadian marathon Rory Linkletter. In this video, I give an overview of the Fast-R Nitro 2, take it out for jaunt through Hurricane Debby and let you know my thoughts on the shoe. (P.S. I know it's technically a Tropical Storm, peanut gallery.)
