The fit and feel of these are fantastic! A great shoe to take out on long runs and to pick up the paces with--I loved the Deviate Nitro 3's and so far I'd say these are even better and look forward to putting more miles in them!

Short of expectations!

After owning and enjoying the Nitro Velocity 2 model I was anticipating a positive experience with an updated plated model. Sadly, I was let down by the odd sizing(too long) and relatively lackluster feel from the carbon/plastic plate. The shoe was otherwise well made and attractive but just missed where it was most important IMO. I promptly returned the model which is very overpriced all aspects considered.

So far so excellent

These feel amazing. I'm still getting used to the responsiveness and building up time in them, but so far so good. Looking forward to seeing how they work in a HYROX competition.

Nitro 4

Perfect for short runs (5-10K) and long walks. No pinching, pressure points, or rubbing. I wear regular to light socks (thickness). I really enjoy these shoes. These are perfect for daily runs, and I plan to keep them in my shoe rotation.

Great speed day shoe

Great speed day and race day shoe! Ran a half marathon in these right out of the box (bad idea I know) but they felt great! My legs felt pretty fresh the next day too. Done some great speed sessions in these too. Love the fit and these shoes make it funny and easy to pick up the pace! Also love the pale pink colorway too (I’m a woman with wide feet so I buy men’s sizes as many of us do!)

Great shoe. Impressed.

Love the shoe. Perfect fit and very comfortable. It’s a sturdier foam but not overly plush like other high stack running shoes. First time trying a plated shoe and it’s great, it doesn’t feel stiff and response is great. I was nervous about the drop as I prefer zero-low drop but the shoe feels more like a 4-6mm drop which is also great. Definitely perfect for faster runs both short and longer (5-12k?). I’m not a long distance runner so I haven’t tested them on anything over 12k.

Great update

I love the changes from last year. The toe box has more room, but i feel the added width in the mid food, fits my food shape better. Seems less aggressive than last year, so its doing better at different paces, it felt like the last version only wanted to go fast, this one want to do it all, and it does it well. I would caution that you may want to size down half a size.
