The Ultra continues to evolve while the Future brings in a cool colourway in Puma's Faster Forward pack, aptly named as it jives with the brand's successful push towards football boot relevance. The collection is also great for players whose football story is always about looking further ahead and pressing forward towards the goal.
puma Boots in Faster Forward Pack Pack:
The ever-comfortable Future Z from Faster Forward shows different tones of blue from its Fuzionfit midfoot band, Evoknit collar, Dynamic Motion System soleplate, and Grip Control Pro upper coating, the latter shining with a bit of a gloss effect. The boot expresses the pack's concept through the visible white symbolic Puma Cats on the forefoot and rear, plus the medial side's red abstract diagonal stripes resembling explosive acceleration. The Neymar-headlined silo also comes in with an updated texturing to drive defenders crazier than ever.
The highlight of the Faster Forward pack, though, is the reengineered Ultra, dubbed as the Ultra 1.3. From simply consisting of the MATRYXEVO upper, the Ultra now has accompanying upper technologies to make the silo the lightest-in-market football boot today. The MATRYXEVO still has carbon but adds mono yarns to get that trademark soft and flexible sensation while maintaining durability. An internal Speedcage now provides more structural integrity to the boot during acceleration and functions similarly to the Sprintweb effect of the older Puma One boots. Collectively, the technologies form part of what is now known as the UltraCut upper dedicated for the players' rapid and explosive movements.
The Ultra 1.3 debuts with a primarily red colourway and contains a white Puma on the outstep and a white ULTRA branding on the lateral side of the quarter. The solid weave on the forefoot transitions to a grid-like midfoot, which becomes more noticeable with the pockets of cutouts on the upper. A gradual fade to dark blue occurs around the heel, completing the overall colour theme.
