On June 4, 2026, Puma drops its all-new Deviate Pure Nitro. This plateless super trainer weighs just 7.8 ounces for a men's size 9, according to RUN | Powered by Outside. A bold investment in specialized athletic footwear, engineered for peak performance is evident.

This June, buyers face a clear choice: a highly technical, purpose-built shoe for specific activities, or a stylish, comfortable option for general wear. The 'do-it-all' trainer is quickly becoming a relic.
