"great for big workouts and big smiles" is going down in the Kofuzi record book of quotes about shoes. Weight and cost aside, it's nice that Puma is still trying to make something unique and crazy unlike many companies who are making everything ultra safe and good for everyone
I like how you introduced these shhhhhoes? 😁I think the "B" stands for bonkers. I'm still rocking the FR1. By some miracle, I was able to find one on closeout. Sadly, I haven't experienced similar luck with the FR2. Still itching to try that sweet, sweet aliphatic TPU. Such a fast and fun shoe. I wish I could wear it every day, but alas I discipline myself to leave it in its cubbie waiting for special ocassions only. I go with the DNE1 for tempo work instead.
Across all brands, I generally recommend people search for bargains in prior year’s flagship models, rather than selecting current year’s budget options
Honestly, this design is actually similar to the Nike TEMPO NEXT% but Puma just grossly exaggerated all aspects of it. The TEMPO NEXT% actually had the most energy return of any Nike shoe they have ever made for public use. The problem with these Puma shoes is that they are just ridiculously heavy. Well over 12 ounces for that size shoe is just terrible. Fine, if you are running down a mountain but just awful for any uphill efforts at all. Honestly, this shoe is just a gimmick. Nobody is going to run a PR in these shoes on any normal course for any significant distance. Sometimes breaking the rules doesn't mean it is automatically faster.
This was a shoe where I didn't notice the weight all that much during my uptempo sessions. I'd likely feel it over a marathon but I'd love to run a 10k in it.
When I saw the intro, I said to myself “that shoe just lands heavy”. Of course this was my only observation in the first 15 seconds of the video but then you said it was over 12 ounces.?? Wow.
yeah, I don't know how you would have gotten unsubscribed. if I were to completely guess, it's part of the TH-cam algorithm trying to purge accounts that you frequently do not interact with. but even that guess doesn't make all that much sense. but my point is that most of the stuff I get shown on my TH-cam feed is from channels I'm not subscribed to, which I suppose is a bit of a tangent to what you were describing
As someone who just got back into running after a 10 year absence I cannot wear these new shoes with all the extra cushion. I bought one and ran for 10 mins and had to go back to a cheap li Ning i wear to the gym. This one just looks crazy
Hurt my foot 3 years ago and I have 10 pairs of high end running shoes you recommended collecting dust. I still want to buy these! Great review as always.
"old enough to remember Rollerblades"? Really Kofuzi? Rollerblading is very much alive in 2024. The Berlin Marathon Inline Skating 2024 will take place on September 28. It is a huge sold out event, and only one of many inline skating competitions world wide. It might not be your thing, but Marathon Skating is very interesting in its own way with equipment technology and racing strategies etc... Anyway, great review of the Puma Fast RB
@@yogatriathlete Hm maybe its a cultural thing. I looked into it and over here rollerblades are synonymous with roller skates, whereas rollerblade seems to be a deonym for inline skates in the states?
@@maloran98 A blade is a thin edge (like a knife for example). The name Rollerblade was invented because all the wheels where placed in one line (inline), like a blade. In the 1980's, Rollerblade was the only company making inline skates, so everybody called it Rollerblading. Today there are a lot of manufactures making inline skates so it is more correct to call it inline skating rather than rollerblading, but they are still the same thing. However, Rollerblading is definitely not roller skating, as one has nothing to do with the other. Roller skates have 2 wheels side by side in front and another 2 side by side in back. Some people call them quad-skates, but they are absolutely not rollerblades. If the term is used synonymously with roller skates where you live, then it is a mistake. People that are really into the sport wouldn't mix the 2 terms. (I don't live in the states by the way)
I remember how wild and crazy the Prime X was when it first came out. Now it looks so normal when you put it next to this Puma 😄
"making some real funky sshhhh...oes...." - hilarious. Great review, Ko!
I respect the heck outta what Puma is doing. Is it for everyone? No. Do they care? No.
I feel like won the running shoe lottery because I got a pair in my size. Your review is enough for me to “save” them for a while so thank you.
I think the 2 half plate is TPU plate if i'm not mistaken
2024 has definitely been the year of so many shoes looking like they came from the future. What a time! Loved this review.
Thanks!

In a year where everything got a wide footprint and more stability, this is a refreshing dose of excitement
Just bought an OG pair of PrimeX, those shoes and the Pro2 were definitely the twitchy psycho brothers of the Strung and the Pro3 🧨
I have been waiting for this one since you teased them! 🎉
Thank you for the effort in making all these videos possible
Thanks for watching!
1 carbon plate, 2 tpu plates :) Good video as usual!
Been waiting on this one👀👀
Honestly, it’s a great shoe for practicing purposes. Swapping shoes, I think could help muscle fiber. 😵💫 My opinion. I’ll buy them in January.
Puma deviate n elite 3s my fave racer thus far
Looks like a shoe from the future!
Thank you Mike.

Thanks doobydoodap of shoes.
soon to see in the Kentucky Derby
lookit that hoof shoe that's craaazy
Man, this thing is wild 😆
Im curious how their lineup compares with their budget lines
Across all brands, I generally recommend people search for bargains in prior year’s flagship models, rather than selecting current year’s budget options
Hello Kofuzi, will you soon give a review on the Puma Magmax? 😊
Relatively soon, as I mentioned in this video
@@kofuzi thanks! Always rely on you for my new shoes..

It’s not heavy until it’s heavy. Then it’s real heavy
Did you test these shoes in Switzerland and the US?!
Yes
This has to be perfect for you 😅
Hey man, the kids still have roller-blades...don't they?
They’re still around I think
Were the B rolls filmed in Europe (Germany)?
New Vienna, IA
Crystal Lake, IL
Zurich, Switzerland
@@kofuzi that Renault car parked on the street was a sign.
It’s good for flat feet I have flat feet 5km run
Would it be good for trails?
seems like a perfect trail shoe for sure 😅
When I saw the intro, I said to myself “that shoe just lands heavy”. Of course this was my only observation in the first 15 seconds of the video but then you said it was over 12 ounces.?? Wow.
It’s a big boi
10:29 because them Dassler brother still at arms race lollll, let see if Adidas made another Rule Breaker at 60mm (I'm joking)
How do you lace this RB shoes?
you do not, as there are no laces
@@kofuzi so , not adjustable ?
These ones remind me of Jar Jar Binks from Star Wars Episode I 😅
Three plates?! it's like Puma put a whole Big Mac into the forefoot area
Definitely one of the top 5 kofuzi reviews!
Thanks!
i love you bro
I know
I’m a simple man. When I hear a Simpsons reference, I drop a like 😂
Woohoo!
Puma Mangmax review is coming relatively soon? Come on Ko, you have been really behind with reviews lately. Magmax 2 is coming out soon... 😄
what are we heel strikers gonna do😂
Hey bro
Asics meta speed sky Paris or puma deviate nitro elite 3 ??
everything was going well..... until you mentioned the weight 😞
No thanks, Puma 😆
Yo, what’s going on!!
I was subbed to you, and randomly wondered why I wasn't getting any new vids. TH-cam is shadow banning you because I was randomly unsubbed??
I think subscriber status and whether TH-cam shows you a video are very loosely related these days
@@kofuzi but I checked your channel and I was unsubbed???
yeah, I don't know how you would have gotten unsubscribed. if I were to completely guess, it's part of the TH-cam algorithm trying to purge accounts that you frequently do not interact with. but even that guess doesn't make all that much sense.
but my point is that most of the stuff I get shown on my TH-cam feed is from channels I'm not subscribed to, which I suppose is a bit of a tangent to what you were describing
So crazy how easy u can see where u are running - the Environment is so different between switzerland and the us
Bottom line!!!
Forget legality and forget the price,
Can this shoe push you run faster in any distance?
My only problems with it, it is noisy and heavy
It’s a lot less noisy than I was expecting, but yeah it’s heavy
I would totally miss the Stryd mount! :D
I can't wait to see them on people who never and they will never run in their life 😂😂😂
Let me know when you see that
As someone who just got back into running after a 10 year absence I cannot wear these new shoes with all the extra cushion. I bought one and ran for 10 mins and had to go back to a cheap li Ning i wear to the gym. This one just looks crazy
Yeah these were probably not the shoe to select for someone who is just coming back to running or wanting something to use at the gym
Insane shoe from the insane germans 😂😂
I'm German..but I agree 😆
@@svenja5596 kleine Sticheleien zwischen Deutschen und Österreichern 😂😂😉
4:00 bro sounding like counter strike gameplay
Idol
you need to replace the forever run with the magmax nitro SO much better
Hurt my foot 3 years ago and I have 10 pairs of high end running shoes you recommended collecting dust. I still want to buy these!
Great review as always.
“Sssshoes”
Debate moment
Same with the other super shoes when they were released they are overhyped and overpriced.😂
I always feel like this emoji means "I just pee'd in the wind"

Rollerblades are not Inline Skates

Unsubscribe. Definitely getting paid by puma. Put them on.. absolute garbage
Sorry to see you go. Feel free to block me so that my videos no longer show up in your feed.
These are the most stupid shoes I've ever seen. They are only intended for TH-camrs to create content and promote the brand
Thanks for watching!!
