The
latest range of PUMA football boots worn by the likes of Sergio Agüero, Radamel
Falcao, Yaya Touré, Nemanja Vidic, Marco Reus and Gianluigi Buffon, go in-store
in South Africa today – the recommended retail price is R1 999 for each of the
models.
The
boots include the all-new PUMA King, designed for the Kings of the pitch
including Yaya Touré, who dominate the field with their leadership, skills and
ball control. The world-renowned football boot has a striking yellow and black
colourway and features TouchCELL™ properties to maximise performance by
enhancing touch and feel.
The
boot’s super-soft premium leather upper adapts to the natural curves of the
foot for a glove-like fit. The lightweight Pebax outsole has a mix of conical
and traction studs for a perfect balance between flexibility, grip and
manoeuvrability, with the external heel counter giving improved heel fit and
stability.
“I’ve
been working with PUMA to develop the new King boot and I’m really pleased with
the result. The boot feels great, the design is simple and modern and the
performance technologies help me to optimise my contact with the ball. My style
of play is all about control and the closer the contact with the ball, the more
control I have. Being part of a team is about inspiring the people around me,
when I’m wearing the PUMA King I have the confidence to help control the game
and secure another win,” Touré said.
The
latest green and blue colourway of PUMA’s evoSPEED 1 FG, still one of the
lightest football boots in the market, is worn by PUMA’s top football SPEED
players including leading strikers Agüero of Manchester City, Atletico Madrid’s
Falcao and Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud.
The
evoSPEED 1 FG is designed to help players achieve top speed and enhance their
manoeuvrability. Equipped with speedCELL™, the boot’s mono-layer microfiber
upper reduces weight and increases flexibility while the EverFit cage provides
an especially snug midfoot fit. The Pebax outsole combines bladed and conical
studs for heel stability as well as freedom during forefoot rotation. For an
improved ball grip in wet conditions, the upper features a super thin 3D film.
“I
really like all the different colour variations that PUMA offer me, because I
enjoy difference and like when boots stick out on the pitch. The boot is
perfectly suited to get up to speed quickly, which I really appreciate and the
combination of colours makes the boot stand out,” said Falcao.
The
new black and green colourway of the PowerCat 1 FG performance football boot is
worn by Borussia Dortmund’s Reus, Manchester United’s Vidic and Phil Jones, as
well as legendary Juventus stopper Buffon and Arsenal’s Bacary Sagna.
Featuring
the most advanced PUMA technologies, the PowerCat 1 FG is designed for players
who desire power and accuracy. The applied PUMA 3D PST DUO Technology improves
ball grip and kicking accuracy while the soft, premium K-Leather enhances fit,
comfort, and touch.
The
bladed stud configuration delivers on traction, maneuverability and pressure
distribution, while the external heel counter protects and stabilizes the heel.
The lightweight microfiber material in the lateral quarter supports the midfoot
and reduces the weight of the boot.
“The
boot is a perfect combination of technology and comfort, and gives me the
confidence to perform well on pitch. Instead of absorbing the energy I feel it
increases the kicking power, which is essential for me to score goals. I have
now been wearing the PUMA Power boot for several years and happy to keep doing
so in the future,” said Reus.
