The long version

The Deviate NITRO 4 shares its NITROFOAM DNA with the Elite race shoe but skips the carbon PWRPLATE, tuning the ride instead for the miles that make up the other 90% of a training week. A 38mm heel stack keeps it protective on long runs while staying light and responsive enough for the occasional tempo effort.

Heel-to-toe drop: 7 mm
Heel stack height: 34 mm
Forefoot stack height: 27 mm
Midsole: Dual-density PEBA forefoot, PEBA/EVA blend in heel

Energy return: 58.1% heel / 70.0% forefoot (RunRepeat lab test)
Surface: Road
Best for: Daily mileage, tempo runs, long runs
Colourway: Zen Blue / Moody Gray

Sizing

First Stride lists EU sizing as the primary scale, with UK equivalents on each size button. Running shoes should have a thumb's width of room at the toe — if you are between sizes, take the larger one. Wide feet should size up half in Asics and Nike.

View Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Pro

Core design differences

Midsole foam

Puma Deviate NITRO 4: Deviate NITRO 4 splits its PEBA dual-density between forefoot and heel for a firmer landing and springier toe-off.

Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Pro: Red Hare 9 Pro's beaded PEBA is more uniform front to back.

Weight & drop

Puma Deviate NITRO 4: Deviate NITRO 4 runs a 7mm drop at 247g.

Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Pro: Red Hare 9 Pro comes in 1g lighter with a similar ride feel — close enough that the difference comes down almost entirely to that dual-density foam tuning.

Value

Puma Deviate NITRO 4: Deviate NITRO 4's dual-density PEBA build commands a premium price.

Li-Ning Red Hare 9 Pro: At 41% of that price, Red Hare 9 Pro is the more budget-friendly way into a tempo-capable PEBA trainer.
