Puma Rise NITRO Review
Pros:
Has comfortable materials
Reliable traction
Cons:
Not durable enough for outdoors
Breathability could be better
Performance of the Puma Rise NITRO:
Puma continues to provide consistent and reliable traction with the Puma Rise NITRO.
The cushioning isn't the bounciest or most responsive. It is comfortable, though.
Most reviewers agree that the materials feel comfortable and the shoe is well padded.
The fit is snug, but the shoe provides a solid 1-to-1 fit.
The materials and fit work together to provide your feet with solid lockdown and containment.
Overall, the Puma Rise NITRO is a reliable performance basketball shoe. It fits right into the Puma basketball lineup.

The Puma Rise Nitro plays similarly to the MB.01 Low. It has a reliable fit, support, and materials, but it doesn't play well outdoors. The cushioning is also underwhelming.

The Puma Rise NITRO is a solid shoe held back by the traction pattern. It has average traction, but the cushioning feels comfortable, and the materials are better than expected.

It´s a bit bulky shoe, not a lot forefoot flex. On the other side, i had no problem with traction or cushion. Good shoe, maybe not for the guards in need of a flexible shoe!

The traction is best on lateral movements and cuts. I didn't slip or have any other issues with the performance. Overall, it's reliable.

The cushioning is one of my favourite parts of the shoe. The foam feels soft and reminds me of Adidas's Bounce cushioning.

I wasn't impressed with the Nitro cushioning. It provides some responsiveness and bounce, but it could be better.

The full-length Nitro foam feels comfortable with tons of impact protection. It just isn't bouncy.

The fit feels tight. I prefer a snug fit, but this shoe is too snug. I would enjoy this fit better if I went up half a size.
