Our verdict

Our test games and lab assessments reveal that the PUMA All Pro Nitro is a dependable basketball shoe, even on outdoor courts (occasionally). We were happy with the comfort, stability, and speedy lightness that we felt while wearing it. This offer from PUMA is surely a must-try!

Great!

Who should buy

After running some lab tests and playing ball while wearing it, we have concluded that the PUMA All Pro Nitro is suitable for the following:

  • Puma Clyde Tan Leather
  • Puma Black Outline Cat
  • ballers who like hoop shoes that are quite flexible and light to the feet
  • puma bmw m motorsport graphic tee
  • wearers who value comfort, especially since this shoe is breathable and offers a lot of impact protection

Who should NOT buy

Upon wearing it, we immediately noticed that the PUMA All Pro Nitro tapers quite sharply toward the toe. Because of this observation, we absolutely cannot recommend this shoe for wide-footers. We believe they are better off with shoes like the PUMA MB.02, Puma Bralette in Salbeigrün mit kleinem Logo.

Don't get us wrong, the whole cushioning system worked just fine during our games. We are confident to say that this part of the shoe is safe. But 'safe' might not be enough for players who want a more pronounced court feel. They may go for guard-oriented picks such as the Puma Infuse Trainingshose in Pfirsich

Cushioning

PUMA Pulsar Srebrno-różowe metaliczne buty sportowe na koturnie tylko w ASOS | Heel stack

When it comes to cushioning, the All Pro Nitro from PUMA kept it moderate and average. The moment we put it on, we already felt that it was roughly the same height as the typical basketball shoe.

True enough, we learned that the heel is just as thick as the average at 30.5 mm.

Forefoot stack

The forefoot stack height is also just around the average. Our calliper readings pegged it at 22.6 mm.

Now, are we complaining? Definitely not! The average thickness of this shoe's cushioning system afforded us a balance of court feel and impact protection. Many in our team appreciated this setup, especially those whose playing roles and styles in the game switch widely.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

We loved how soft the cushioning felt underfoot. When we assessed its softness using our HA durometer in the lab, we were pleased to see that it was indeed softer than average. It got a rating of 22.0.

During our test games, this softness helped us be free from pain and discomfort. We did not mind wearing it for long periods.

Insole thickness

Because the built-in foam was already soft and comfortable, we did not feel the need for a removable insole. But the PUMA All Pro Nitro came in with one, anyway, and it was as thick as the average at 4.4 mm.

Toebox width - widest part

We retrieved a replica of the All Pro Nitro's interiors using proprietary gel and it proved the shoe's solid medium fit.

Measurig the mould of this PUMA shoe at its widest (betwen the pinkie and the big toe), our calliper returned a standard reading of 92.7 mm.

If you have medium-sized feet, there should be issues with the fit.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We never felt any issues with lateral stability. The side walls did their jobs well. The heel counter also did its job well (more on this below). Our feet were able to stay in place even when we were moving wildly to and from the basket. No serious complaints here.

Torsional rigidity

Sudden twists are not only disorienting, but they can also be so painful as well. Good thing this PUMA basketball shoe truly felt stable and firm no matter which direction we went.

When we did some manual twists on it in the lab, we realised that we needed to break some sweat before we could make the shoe relent to our manoeuvres. We were left with no other choice but to give it a perfect 5 for torsional rigidity.

Heel counter stiffness

Not only was the heel counter comfortable and durable, but it was notably stiff as well. In fact, it got a perfect 5 from us for its stiffness when we gave it a good squeeze in the lab. 

We never felt any unnecessary movements in the rearfoot because of how securely the heel counter was clasping our feet.

Midsole width - heel

We felt that the platform had a little more width at the heel part. When we measured it using our calliper, it was indeed wider (just a little, though) than average at 94.4 mm. 

The additional width helped us maintain our balance and stability, especially when we made more aggressive and shiftier movements.

The PUMA All Pro Nitro was indeed a flexible shoe. We didn't have problems making it 'follow' with our movements because it just bent with our feet whenever it needed to. 

We performed our standard flexibility test on this PUMA hoop shoe, and we saw that it only needed 34.0N of force to bend at a 90-degree angle. This number is significantly lower than average.

Breathability

Oh boy! The Puma AC Milan Home Shirt 2022 2023 Juniors was just so airy! We never felt damp, and we were so happy not to deal with wet socks after our games. 

As can be seen in the video above, the smoke that we pumped into the shoe escaped through the Puma AC Milan Home Shirt 2022 2023 Juniors's upper quite easily. The Reebok Shaq Attaq's upper, which only garnered a breathability score of 1 out of 5, barely allowed smoke to pass through. Smoke could only escape through its tongue. Hence, the 4 out of 5 that the Puma AC Milan Home Shirt 2022 2023 Juniors got from us is pretty well-deserved.

We also performed a light test on the upper. In the video above, the porousness of the upper is made clear. Light was able to pass through the many ventilation holes.

We also put the upper under the microscope, and it gave us a good glimpse of the air vents that made the PUMA All Pro Nitro such a well-ventilated basketball shoe.

Durability

Toebox durability

The toebox displayed moderate durability. With proper care, we felt that this shoe can last as long as it's needed.

After performing the Dremel test on it, we saw that there was still a sturdy second layer that could protect the foot even after the topmost skin had been worn off. It's truly worth the 3 out of 5 for toebox durability that it got from us.

Yet, we have to take note here that wearers who are habitual toe-draggers might still need to look for another basketball shoe model. The Dame Certified from Adidas Pantofi PUMA Wired Run Slip On Jr 383732 01 Prism Pink Puma Silver.

The heel padding surely looks smooth and soft, but we were so glad when we discovered in the lab that it's actually a very tough act!

We pressed the Dremel into it, and the damage that it left is not even worth mentioning. We gave it a 4 out of 5 for heel padding durability.

Because of our initial observation and subsequent lab results, we dare say that new wearers need not worry about this shoe falling apart after aggressive rubbing and ankle movements during intense games.

Outsole hardness

The outsole performed as expected during our test games. It was not too hard, and it was not too flimsy either. It delivered just the right amount of toughness for effective occasional outdoor usage. When assessed in the lab, our HC durometer gave it a hardness rating of 80.0, a figure that does not fall from the average.

But if you are a frequent outdoor player, the PUMA All Pro Nitro might seem lacking. The outsole of the Adidas Trae Young 3 puma flyer runner mens running shoes in elderberrywhite.

Just like the hardness of the outsole, its durability is just around the average as well. 

We performed the Dremel test on it, and our high-pressure drilling left as much damage as it would in an average shoe: a dent that is 1.0 mm deep.

Outsole thickness

Our calliper showed that the outsole of the All Pro Nitro is slightly thicker than average at 4.6 mm. So even if its outsole is only as durable as the typical basketball shoe, we expect this shoe to last longer simply because it has more material to burn.

Misc

Grip / Traction

Traction was not a problem for us. This shoe's bite was excellent, especially on cleaner courts. The grooves are wide enough, so we did not have problems with dust getting in between them and dulling the shoe's grip. Puma AC Milan Home Shirt 2022 2023 Juniors grip

Tongue padding

The tongue is moderately padded, and it is 10.0 mm thick as per the calliper readings in the lab. This much material in the tongue helped fasten the fit. The padding also contributed a lot to the comfort that we enjoyed, and it dulled down the impact of when other players stepped on our feet.
