Deviate NITRO™ 3

Yeah I get that, I personally think asics foams are a bit outdated in their lower tier shoes. For example the adidas adios 9 I adore but only use it sporadically for that purpose you are mentioning. Id even pick the puma velocity nitro 4 over most asics daily trainers and it can go on light trails. It just has a narrow fit for a lot of folks. The tri Noosa is probably a better shoe than the magic speed 5, the latter is quite stiff. Edit: even the Boston 13, the recently released puma deviate pure could also be a good choice over the tri.

i’ll only use my race day shoes once or twice during a build, always on MP long runs or big tempo runs. that said, i use carbon plated trainers (deviate 3) all the time, i don’t see any reason not to use supertrainers regularly if you have them

raced in metaspeed sky this year but i’m desperate to get my hands on some fast r 3 for next year lol. my current pair of deviates are at about 400-500 miles (whatever 750km is lol) and still feel alright. i can usually push a shoe to 900km but around the. i’ll start to think about swapping them out. i got a killer deal on another pair of D3s for like $100USD so i’ll probably ride those all winter

I wore the Deviate Nitro Elite 3 to my first sub 3:45 this year. Love that shoe and wore a pair that already had almost 300km in them despite picking up a new pair in advance - they just hold their structure and bounce so well. While the training is what got me there, I have learned a decent shoe make the difference when you're looking for that extra minute when it counts.

From my experience the grip on my Novablast 5s and Superblast is fine, but not that great. My route usually has some mossy sidewalks that is quite slippy after rain and I had to slow down (sometimes to a walk) to feel confident about my footing. But, the sidewalks where I live is not the best so your mileage may vary. I had better experience with my Deviate Nitro 3s and my SL2s when I know the route will be slippery.

Puma Deviate Nitro 3 - Running shoe that is also the flagship product for Hyrox. Designed as a super trainer and can handle slower paces all the way through to the faster stuff. Nitro Foam is also much more robust than a PEBAX(spelling?) based sole and the puma grip works well across all surfaces even in the wet.
