PUMA Philippines joined runners from across Southeast Asia as the global sports brand officially introduced the Deviate Pure NITRO™ during the “Run the Rave” event held at the NIC Factory in Bangkok on July 22, 2026.
The regional launch gathered elite athletes, running clubs, and fitness personalities from the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia for an exclusive first look at PUMA’s newest high-performance daily running shoe.
Opening the event, Sanjay Roy, Managing Director of PUMA SEA & Oceania, shared the brand’s vision for the region before participants took part in a guided warm-up ahead of the evening run.
Representing the Philippines were Dominic Roque, Ashley Rivera, Jeff Ong, and Rhea Bue, alongside members of local running communities, including Miguel Aldeguer, Thomas Santos, and Eric Isip of EZ Run Club, as well as representatives from Chinito Walkers.
The Filipino delegation joined fellow runners for a lively three-kilometer night run through the streets of Bangkok, putting the Deviate Pure NITRO™ to the test in a fun and community-driven setting that highlighted the growing running culture across Southeast Asia.
Beyond showcasing the shoe’s performance, the event celebrated the spirit of collective running, proving that chasing personal goals becomes even more rewarding when shared with a supportive community.
Engineered for everyday performance
Following the run, participants experienced the Deviate Pure Experience, an immersive showcase of the technology behind PUMA’s latest running silhouette.
Designed for daily training, the Deviate Pure NITRO™ features nitrogen-infused NITRO™ foam, delivering lightweight cushioning with high energy return to help reduce the impact of every stride while keeping runners comfortable over longer distances.
The shoe is also equipped with PUMAGRIP rubber outsoles for dependable traction across different road conditions, providing stability and grip whether running on dry pavement or wet city streets.
With its blend of comfort, responsiveness, and durability, the Deviate Pure NITRO™ is built to support runners through everyday training while helping them perform at their best.
The PUMA Deviate Pure NITRO™ is now available through PUMA.com and selected PUMA stores. For updates on new releases and upcoming events, follow PUMA Philippines on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
