PUMA
today introduces the new evoSPEED 1.2 FG, the latest performance boot that
helps players maximise their speed on the pitch. For the first time ever, the boot features
the PUMA brand name on the inner side of the boot instead of the formstripe –
the brand’s iconic trademark.
This
weekend, the new black and fluorescent yellow boot makes its on pitch debut
with Sergio Agüero, Radamel Falcao, Olivier Giroud and many more PUMA players.
The
new evoSPEED 1.2 FG is designed to enable players reach top speed quickly
without sacrificing stability or comfort. This is made possible through the use
of light materials in combination with an internal midfoot support cage
(EverFit cage) that maintains a good fit during all points of sprinting.
The
outsole is reconfigured with smaller conical studs that give the player a
better grip on the ground and enhances manoeuvrability on the pitch. For optimal comfort, a minimised tongue and
heel have been added, reducing pressure on the Achilles tendon whilst the sock
liner distributes the foot’s pressure evenly.
Inspired
by the shape of muscles, tendons and the smooth curves of a race car, the new
boot features subtle black glossy graphics that round off the look of the more
visible yellow prints. Finishing touches are the transparent dotted print on
the vamp for better grip in wet conditions, and small details in fluorescent
blue that complement the striking look.
Sergio
Agüero commented after testing the finished boot, “I am always excited to wear
a new boot. After the v1.11 and the
first evoSPEED, this is the third SPEED boot that I have worn and it is
definitely the best.
PUMA’s
boots are constantly improving and the innovations they create help me to
perform better when I play. I appreciate
the fact that they incorporate my feedback when they develop new boots and I am
delighted with this latest result.”
