The long version

The Velocity NITRO 4 replaces the old split-foam setup with a full-length NITROFOAM midsole for a smoother, more consistent ride, and a reengineered upper breathes better while adapting more to the foot. PUMAGRIP still handles wet tarmac better than almost anything else at this price. Puma rates it for up to 500 miles of daily mileage.

Core design differences

Midsole construction

Puma Velocity NITRO 4: NITRO 4 uses a single Nitro foam layer tuned for a lighter, more responsive daily ride.

Qiaodan LH 600 Max: LH 600 Max layers a nitrogen-infused EVA top over a firmer TPU-rubber base — a dual-density build aimed squarely at max-cushion comfort rather than snap.

Weight & drop

Puma Velocity NITRO 4: The NITRO 4 is 40g lighter with a steeper 10mm drop.

Qiaodan LH 600 Max: LH 600 Max's 8mm drop and firmer base give a more planted, stable-feeling landing.

Value

Puma Velocity NITRO 4: NITRO 4's simplified single-foam design still commands a mid-range price.

Qiaodan LH 600 Max: LH 600 Max undercuts it by nearly ₹8,500 while still delivering a genuinely cushioned daily ride — the trade is composure and pop for a much smaller bill.
