TALKING PUMA NITRO TECHNOLOGY with TODD FALKER - EDDBUD - PUMA FOREVER. FASTER.
I got to spend lots of time with the amazing TODD FALKER at PUMA.
We explore NITRO FOAM TECHNOLOGY, DESIGN CHOICES WITHIN THE FORVERRUN NITRO & FAST-R NITRO, along with some older designs, plus Todd gives us the lowdown on his recent training and racing.
This man plays a mean game of Pool too!
As always, interesting developments in the world of running!
Hold tight people, stay strong and we WILL make it through.
Keep it nice in the comments please, i do not do unpleasant, its just ..... unpleasant. See you in the digital ones and zeros......

    Puma are making some of the best running shoes for their price at the moment, I recently run my first marathon in a pair of Deviate Elite V1, and they were amazing. Great to see you Edd doing interviews with big brands, can't wait for many more to come.

    I agree with you. I bought a pair of Deviate Nitro Elite (at £85), I've tested at the running track and they've literally "smoked" all the other carbon plated shoes I've previously tested (Nike Vaporfly, Saucony Pro 2/Plus/3). Videos are available on my channel.

    Great interview, I always love hearing about the foams and technology. The brand is little known but for your wife a True Motion shoe could be an option, a German company that developed a horseshoe shaped midsole to center the knee, after decades of knee issues this allowed me to do longer runs without knee pain when reaching 10k or so, I even did my first marathon in one of them and saw quite a few runners use them for marathons as well. Also works well with my pronation/mild stability needs.

    Another great interview ,listening to this in the background (like a podcast while working ). You know my view on the current Puma products (my pic indicates my bias), but only because I have tried or raced in most of the current crop and the proof is in the pudding. I would argue that the TPE nitro based shoes are arguably better all rounders then the Peba based shoe ... but then it should be I guess given its role.

    Congrats, again, Edd. You must be buzzing. Puma definitely didn’t put much work into the running segment for a long time. But they had other sports locked. It’s good to see the other Herzo brand doing better these days. But the only Puma I’m wearing is to support The Blues. I would have loved to hear Peter Moore or Jacques Chassaing mentioned. That plate “bridge” is their innovation. Good stuff! ✌🏽💙👟
