All-Pro Nitro

Features new Nitro Sqd cushioning technology with exceptional shock absorption, reducing energy loss by 17% and improving rebound by 20%, offering the best cushioning among Puma basketball shoes

Enhanced lacing system with more lace holes and professional design; improved forefoot cut for better flexibility; added rubber support on midfoot for better stability; overall wrapping is more targeted and adapts to various foot types

Slightly heavier than All-Pro with marginally weaker ground feel compared to the All-Pro

Higher price point with a certain learning curve for wearers; not as beginner-friendly as the All-Pro

Upgraded midsole materials using high-rebound EVA and PBX foam, offering soft-bouncy feel with only 300+ grams weight, significantly lighter than previous Puma basketball shoes

Innovative Matrix Evil Tech mesh upper combining aramid fiber and carbon fiber, providing rigid support with excellent breathability and aesthetically appealing design

Overly soft midsole causes ankle instability issues, particularly unsuitable for flat-footed or low-arch users who may need orthotic insoles for proper support

Limited ankle-turning prevention makes it unsuitable for guards with frequent cross-overs and tight dribbling, requiring more aggressive anti-roll design
