In episode 26 of "Sole Mates", SportPlus.sg teams up with PUMA athlete Vanessa Lee and PUMA NITRO Run Club manager Cheryl Tay to discuss the latest race day innovation from PUMA to find out if it's a shoe designed for elites or a potential sole mate for everyday runners.

Did you know? Advanced sports science tools can now be accessed by everyday athletes and not just the pros. Team SportPlus was on hand to check out the VO2 Max test, Hypoxia Conditioning and Hyperbaric Oxygen Chamber (HBOT), three of such services available at Performance Bike Fitter's Sport Science Studio.

1️⃣ Super light — 170g? One of the lightest race shoes out there ⚖️ 2️⃣ Improves running economy — caveat: more so for midfoot & forefoot runners to maximise its potential ⚙️ 3️⃣ Aggressive & responsive — less plush, more punch 🥊 down to personal preference - if you prefer plushier race shoes, this shoe isn't it 📦 This pair was sent to John Yeong & SportPlus.sg for review. John has yet to log significant mileage (still managing a minor injury), so he hasn’t fully tested its potential — but early signs are promising. ⚠️ Limited quantities available in Singapore and they’re moving fast — so if you’re eyeing a pair, check them out soon. 👀 🎙️ Full thoughts with guest athletes coming soon on the #SoleMates Podcast at www.sportplus.sg!
