The long version

Puma's do-everything plated trainer. A full-length carbon PWRPLATE sits between two NITROELITE layers, and the whole thing is wrapped in enough PUMAGRIP to survive a full marathon block. It is quicker than most super trainers and comfortable enough for a 30K long run — a lot of runners simply race in it and skip the dedicated race shoe entirely.

Core design differences

Weight

Puma Deviate NITRO 3: Deviate NITRO 3 carries its carbon PWRPLATE and knit reinforcement at 268g.

Xtep 160X 6.0 Pro: The 160X 6.0 Pro is dramatically lighter at 195g — a 73g gap between two carbon-plated trainers with almost identical stack heights.

Plate & foam

Puma Deviate NITRO 3: Deviate NITRO 3 runs a full-length carbon PWRPLATE over dual NITROELITE/NITROFOAM layers.

Xtep 160X 6.0 Pro: The 160X 6.0 Pro's recipe is genuinely similar — full-length carbon plate over dual-density supercritical foam — the difference is mostly tuning and brand polish, not architecture.

Upper

Puma Deviate NITRO 3: Deviate NITRO 3's knit upper with PWRTAPE reinforcement is built for durability over many sessions.

Xtep 160X 6.0 Pro: The 160X 6.0 Pro's jacquard/twill mesh keeps weight down at some cost to structure.
