The color coding from PUMA's FASTROID inspired the design of the Fast-R NITRO. The shoe's first colorway boasts a totally blacked-out upper, sitting on a gradient-hued sole unit displaying obvious NITROTM text branding. This colorway was pulled directly from PUMA's FW22 New York Fashion Week runway show called Futrograde.

Puma said in its press release:

"PUMA welcomes the PUMA Fast-R NITRO Futrograde, a close relative of the PUMA FASTROID NITRO and PUMA ForeverRUN NITRO. PUMA NITRO™ cushioning is a specialized, nitrogen-infused foam that maximizes response and bounce while remaining super-lightweight. Nitrogen infusion amplifies the inherent properties of foam, making it highly springy and soft."

The brand further added:

"PUMA’s Fast-R NITRO Futrograde is a bold, risk-taking sneaker that is here to shatter boundaries by mixing fashion and performance like never before. The shoe’s high-speed style and powerful propulsion merge together to create one of the most unique designs to come from PUMA."

Loaded with performance qualifications but crafted for the roads, the model's faster and sharper look is characterized by a disentangled platform sole that features exaggerated compositions and is reignited by NITROTM cushioning. Other features of the Fast-R include its design comfort wear, its effectiveness, and its layout for a smooth ground touch.

As for the special NITRO Foam, the main feature of the shoe, Puma said:

"NITRO foam epitomises our 'Forever.Faster.' approach. The technology is at the core of all our running shoes to make them extremely lightweight and responsive, helping you use less energy and run comfortably, so you can create history."
