One thing that has been a constant in the past decade is Puma Golf consistently finding ways to one-up themselves when it comes to footwear, specifically how they have revolutionized spikeless golf shoes. Most recently, the Alphacat has received constant praise on our THP community for not just their comfort but overall versatility. So, it only makes sense that Puma is about to take Alphacat up a notch, this time by going “Nitro”.

Puma Alphacat Nitro
Yes, nitro, that is what Puma is bringing to the newest Alphacat in the lineup, but this isn’t just a trendy name slapped on at the end. Nitro actually represents something more, something entirely new for Puma and the golf shoe industry as a whole.

The Alphacat Nitro still showcases the design aspects which have made it so popular. The shoes utilize Puma’s EXOShell upper that is engineered for more structure and stability in the swing as well as while walking. On the sole, Puma is using a “Dual Material Alpha Traction” design to maximize effectiveness and durability while remaining versatile for any conditions the wearer may throw at them. Then, there is some unique flash to the substance with the “Formstripe External Heel Counter” that is a throwback nod to classic Puma looks.

However, all of that is made possible by the significant weight savings that comes from “NITRO FOAM” which makes up the sole. The name isn’t to be flashy, it is an actual nod to the use of nitrogen gas that is infused into the material. Why? The aforementioned weight savings as well as more energy return to the wearer with every step and swing taken over the course of a round.

The Details
The Alphacat Nitro will be offered in six different color options upon their release at retail and DISC fans need not worry as there will be four colorway options in that version. Puma Golf’s newest shoe will come in at $160.00 a pair and be available in sizes 7-15.

Yup. I have played many rounds in them since purchase and no complaints at all.

Not especially happy with the True Tour – they have no cushion around the edges and they cut me right below the ankle bone on the right foot. Guess I need to wear socks.;)
My previous Puma were pre-Covid AdaptFoam – comfortable and very stable. Not accustomed to the stiffness after wearing Trues for several years.
Went to the range in Pump Alphacats … spikes. So comfortable and stable. Forgot how good these were … going shopping for Alphabet Nitro for spikeless.
I am seriously considering them. Budget has them for $99 I believe

Oh ok. Gotcha
I much prefer the lacing of the Nitro over the standard ACats. Haven’t gotten into the disc.
After wearing the Puma Alphacats for the last two days on the range, even with spikes, these are the most comfortable and stable shoes I’ve owned.
I thought True Linkswear Tour shoes would do the trick, but Puma is more comfortable and pays more attention to detail. I guess the Nitro will show up at my door sometime…

A little too much white, wish they would have brought the pattern on the heel or something.
[/QUOTE]
More of the pattern would be nice but I love the all white look, too.

Just snagged me a pair of these in white\black for a cool 80.00 on Amazon. Every color way is on sale.
So these were not well loved compared to the previous version. They just weren’t. It’s okay. They can’t all be hits. BUT there are a couple pictures of the next thing online and they are a reminder to be excited. Seriously. BE. EXCITED.

You need to hush your mouth and keep your heels outta here! ?
Seriously, I never had trouble with the previous Alphacats and I’m still loving the heels of the Fusion Crush Sport. No issues at all. Not anything like I’ve had with a couple other pairs you own and had trouble with and I didn’t buy because I knew I would.

The heels are much better than the FootJoys I have tried. Every Puma I have used has been great out of the box. I can’t say the same for FJs.

There’s a thing with a couple of the Puma heels that have bit some of us over the years. There’s been plenty of posts about it. That plastic mold in there can be brutal. So we pay attention to that pretty quickly on a new shoe. I don’t have a lot of FJ experience honestly. Tried 2 last year and moved on pretty quickly.

I’m familiar with the issue. But nice never had a pair of Pumas give me a blister in day 1 like some FJs have. But I do understand where you are coming from, for sure. And I’m also a guy who wears shoes really loose.
I’m hoping my Alphacat Nitros hold up well. I didn’t think I’d find anything that I wanted to wear more than my Asics, but the stability that these provide has been great for my ankle. Not quite as soft in the heel as my Asics, but not too far off either. Looking forward to the next iteration of the these.
Just picked up a Disc pair on a great Zappos sale. Seem very comfortable. Looking forward to trying them out tomorrow afternoon.
Well, I’m not impressed with their durability.
My Ignite Elevate’s have a hole worn through the heel area after 9 months of intermittent wear ( I rotate with my FJ Premier and Pro SL’s )

I certainly didn’t have those issues with two pair of the original alpha cat. I don’t expect to have them with this model either.

Yeah, I’m kinda bummed because they’re comfortable otherwise.
And I untie and remove them properly always.
I was going to take them overseas with me, but alas…
Rock Bottom Golf has these for $45 a pair today if anybody is interested. I picked up two pairs to wear while I am working at the golf course. Waterproof is a must for me at work so I grab a few pairs when I can get decent waterproof shoes for under $50 even though I have no business purchasing more golf shoes.
