Puma Football Boots

Puma football boots have been gaining ground in expanding its appeal to players and increasing competition to adidas and Nike. They are becoming an attractive proposition because of their competitive pricing for the quality they possess. Click on the image below to jump straight to recent Puma packs and releases.

At the moment, Puma offers the Future agility boot and the Ultra speed boot. It also has the heritage King, the modern iteration of the classic Puma King boots, though consensus-wise it no longer competes in the space of K-leather boots with its transition to a synthetic upper.

The Future, Ultra and King are the football boots under Puma. The current Future is focused on being the most suitable for agility. Speed is the new name of the game, and so Puma gives us the Ultra that has all the ingredients of a modern football speed boot. The modern King has that K-BETTER upper meant to simulate the attributes of K-leather with recyclable synthetic materials.

Future

The  Future aims to deliver a boot that is all about freedom of movement. More than a straightforward run, football is all about those pivots, cuts and side-to-side nimbleness.

Ultra

Ultra is Puma’s speed boot and with a lightweight make up it is popular with many players including Antony, Christian Pulisic, Memphis Depay & Cody Gakpo.

King

The brand’s iconic silo now modernised not just in looks and shape, but also in build and material. It drops the traditional K-leather in favour of its very own synthetic leather material called ‘TOTALTOUCH+.’

Popular Footballers under the Puma Brand

Puma happens to have a marquee name plus a few more football stars, namely:

Neymar

The Brazilian spent 15 years with Nike wearing the likes of the Hypervenoms and Mercurial Vapors before joining Puma in 2020. While he is now the driving force behind the Future Z, he initially wore the King Platinum (the predecessor of Platinum 21) and used his star appeal to renew interest to the silo. He has now received multiple signature releases for his Future boots.

Jack Grealish

As things stand, Grealish could succeed Neymar as the face of the Puma Future if the latter decides to call it quits. He is now a multi-titled player with his stay at Manchester City, and has name recognition to fulfil that role if given a chance.

Xavi Simmons, Kyle Walker and Kingsley Coman are some of the few quality names aside from Neymar and Grealish to embrace Puma as their boot-of-choice.

Recent Puma Releases

2026 Blackout

For Puma’s permanent black options for 2026, the brand decided to use Glowing Red to accent the Future 9 and the Ultra 6. It was applied as an outline to the Puma logos, the detailing of the bespoke Future graphic and the shading of the Ultra branding. On the other hand, things were kept classic and timeless with the King, which had a black and white contrast from its upper and soleplate, as well as a golden highlight around the arch of its white Formstrip.

2026 Whiteout

Puma updated their permanent whiteout lineup for 2026 that saw the Future 9, Ultra 6 and King accented heavily with gold. Much of the flashiness came from the chrome finish of the soleplates, while a shade of matte gold coloured the detailing on the upper. The Ultra 6 arguably had the cleanest look of the bunch, while the Future 9 added a bit of a rippling graphic and heel background, and the King once again giving prominence to the classic Formstrip.

Cosmic Art

Cosmic Art was a Future 9 special edition release right at the start of 2026. It featured a deep greenish-blue base that did not waste time to transition to a busy visual activity, as evidenced by the graphical insertions on the forefoot. Against the backdrop of a purplish hue, the vamp used lighter shades of green to produce a wavy, splintering ridge design around the sides and a celestial gas impression around the toe. All in all, they subscribed to the creative nature of the Puma Future, always in a state of flux.

Unleashed

The highlight of the Puma Unleashed pack undoubtedly was the Puma Future, which used the collection as the platform to debut its 9th generation. Its fiery red colourway backed by metallic accents exuded a sense of steely determination to overcome obstacles. On the other hand, the Ultra 6, with its striking yellow theme and thunder-like graphic, did not hesitate to reflect its speedy DNA. King 20 kept its elegance and touch-focused attribute with a relatively plain white look, simply using the Future’s and Ultra’s colourways to border its Formstrip logo.

Hot Pursuit

As the warm weather passed and gave way to dropping temperatures in 2025, Puma kept their players focused on their chase of football glory with a fiery look for their respective silos. Hot Pursuit glazed the Puma boots with a striking orange look, with only the King deviating as it opted for a predominantly black paintjob. The scorching aesthetic for the Future and Ultra was even adorned with reddish burns to double down on the high-temperature theme.

MD51

Memphis Depay scored his 51st goal for Netherlands in September 2025 to become the country’s all-time leading scorer. As such, Puma rewarded the forward with a limited-edition pair of Ultra 6s, and 51 additional pairs of the said boots had also been shared with Depay’s select group that included family members, friends and other influential people in his career.

The colourway comprised of a white theme that had featured blue and black icons on the left boot to illustrate the importance of Memphis’ family, faith and cultural background. Orange and black icons then featured on the right boot to showcase Memphis’ career journey from young boy to superstardom.

Never Stop

Now at home at AC Milan and delivering his best for the Rossoneri, Pulisic received another signature Ultras in August 2025. Never Stop Ultra 6 featured a Fire Orchid colourway that had a dynamic mixture of purple and red, representing a flame that never stopped blazing. Abstractly coalescing with the main paint job were the black accents, first felt with the Formstrip detailing and next to the heel make-up.

Why Do I See The Same Puma Boot at Different Price Points?

If you browse Puma boots now, you might see, for example, the Puma Future Ultimate costing almost three times as much as the Future Match. Why is that?

Those who really take football as their career need the very best objective performance the boot can give them, while recreational players might not need as much. Puma then allows its boots to be available at multiple price options to accommodate these casual players who would need to strike the right balance between quality and budget considerations.

Puma has its unique naming system in labelling the top-end and its cheaper counterparts. From top to bottom, we have the Ultimate, the top-end level, followed by the Pro, Match and Play. The succeeding lines after the Ultimate are the more affordable alternatives, with the key features being downgraded or outright removed in each successive tier.

But is it really the case that the more expensive ones are the better Puma football boots? More often that not, yes, but there are still those few instances where the cheaper variants seem to be the better boot depending on what you’re looking for. Football Boots UK sorts this kind of information with our review and analysis of each and every boot, so all you have to do after reading our content is to get your Puma pair from your favourite online or physical store…
