PUMA's new boots for Aguero, Falcao, Toure and Buffon in-store in SA today

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.
