Puma have rolled out their new Olympian Blue/White/Ebony colourway across the entire v1 range, so here's a first look at the new kangaroo leather versions which combine an innovative use of synthetic and natural materials...
Puma are a brand that have realized the high demand for a speed boot, that offers the natural comfort of a kangaroo leather upper and the speedy traction of a performance outsole. In more recent times the leather adizero football boots have been successful, but it is Puma who have a track record for releasing popular leather boots, and these new K-Leather v1.10 football boots are no exception.
There is no denying that as far as natural materials are concerned, kangaroo leather is the number one material. The fibres of the material are more densely packed, which makes it more soft and comfortable, as well as being more durable. Resulting in a boot upper that offers a great touch and feel for the ball.
When you lace the K Leather Puma v1.10 soccer shoes up, they not only fit well but also are extremely comfortable. Puma have spent years developing their unique AptoLast, which every boot is formed around at construction level. Complimenting the boot last and fit, is the redesigned collar and central lacing which has a soft leather and material tongue.
The toe area and lace-cover of the Puma v1.10 K leather soccer cleats is held together by a thermo-plastic material, maintaining the boots' shape and structure. The two pieces combine brilliantly for ball touch and control, and the kangaroo leather gives you great feel for the ball when passing short or long, or striking the ball.
The K leather White/Red/Black Puma v1.10 football boots, once again implement the v1's speed technology through the unique outsole. The outsole provides a solid and stable heel counter made from TPU material, which moulds into the sole-plate.
Embedded into the forefoot of the sole-plate is a carbon-fibre plate, positioned to distribute pressure and react to the foot flexing. Finishing off the outsole is a unique stud configuration, mounted on a lightweight frame, and shaped for smooth ground penetration to optimize traction.
