PUMA VELOCITY NITRO 5徹底レビュー｜ヴェロシティニトロ4・ピュアニトロとの比較

PUMA's new daily trainer, the Velocity Nitro 5. What impressed me most about this shoe was "The hold and ground feel." While offering improved cushioning compared to the Velocity Nitro 4, the hold of the upper and tongue is clearly enhanced. Yet, it doesn't have the strong cushioning or rocker feel of the Pure Nitro. "A daily trainer with a better fit and cushioning than the Velocity Nitro 4." That's the feeling I got from this shoe. A secure hold that firmly fixes the foot. Easy-to-understand ground feel. Cushioning that's thicker than its predecessor but not too soft. And the high grip of PUMAGRIP that feels like it's sticking to the ground. The hold and cushioning have evolved. However, the running experience isn't simply a simple upgrade. Even when actually running, it doesn't feel like the shoe is automatically propelling you forward due to a strong rocker. On the other hand, the cushioning is improved compared to the Velocity Nitro 4, and the foot hold is noticeably stronger. It feels like you're propelling your weight forward while maintaining a sense of ground contact. That's the kind of running feel it provides. In a backward throw, there's a certain stability in the heel, but a slight lateral instability is observed as the weight shifts to the forefoot. The weight transfer itself is smooth, but there's a slight side-to-side sway relative to the direction of travel. The improved hold of the upper and tongue compared to the previous model seems to mitigate this instability. However, the lateral rigidity is still somewhat lacking. In a lateral throw, the midsole compresses relatively evenly. The forefoot flexion point aligns well with the foot's MTP joint, and it maintains forward momentum until the end. The vertical movement is good. On the other hand, it's a little prone to lateral swaying. This isn't simply a daily trainer with increased cushioning. A daily trainer that balances ground contact, hold, and cushioning, allowing you to control your running with your own feet. That's what I felt about the Velocity Nitro 5 after actually running in it.

In particular, this video will be helpful for: ・Those who want to feel the ground contact while running ・Those who want more cushioning than the Velocity Nitro 4 ・Those who want a higher level of hold ・Those who want a single shoe that can be used for a wide range of activities, from jogging to tempo runs The Velocity Nitro 4 is a daily trainer that emphasizes a more direct ground contact feel. On the other hand, the Velocity Nitro 5 retains ground contact while clearly offering enhanced cushioning and support. The Pure Nitro, of the three shoes, boasts the highest cushioning and strongest rocker. Even at higher speeds, it provided a consistently responsive feel. Therefore, I felt that it's not simply a "superior version of the Velocity Nitro 4," but rather a "new Velocity with enhanced support and cushioning." The Velocity Nitro 4 lacks some cushioning and support. However, I don't need the thick cushioning or strong rocker of the Pure Nitro. It fills the gap, making it versatile enough for everything from jogging to long runs and tempo runs. It's a daily trainer like that. I'll be discussing the true running performance that can't be understood from catalog specifications alone. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ■ note I've published structural analysis and 10 shoe evaluator points that I couldn't cover in the video. https://note.com/marathon_pysio ■ X We post the latest shoe information and review updates. https://x.com/marathonpysio?s=11 ■ Threads We post about running and shoe reviews. https://www.threads.com/@marathon.phy... ■ Instagram We post information about running and shoes.   / marathon.physio.gear   ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ Marathon Physical Therapist / Shoe Strategist Compared over 50 pairs of running shoes Over 10 years of clinical experience as a physical therapist Review shoes from the perspectives of anatomy, kinesiology, and movement analysis Currently training to achieve a sub-3 marathon time The Velocity Nitro 5 is not a racing shoe that will make anyone run fast just by relying on the shoes. However, It's for runners who want to comfortably build up their daily jogs. Runners who want to feel the ground contact and control their center of gravity while running. And for runners who want more cushioning and support than the Velocity Nitro 4, this is an attractive shoe. My own impression after...
