Puma have unveiled their follow-up colourway to the launch PowerCat 1.12, and the Black/Shadow/White/Lime is in stark contrast to the original White/Blue football boots. Here's your most up-close and revealing look at the next addition to the Puma PowerCat 1.12 range on the web...
Debuted on-pitch by Arsenal's Tomas Rosicky, the new colourway supports a boot launch that's been highly successful. The PowerCat 1.12 football boots has already won over the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Gianluigi Buffon, Nigel de Jong, Emmanuel Frimpong and Giorgio Chiellini, and the new colours provide a nice contrast to the original white launch boot.
It's been one of the most talked about boots in recent months, so what can we expect from the all new PowerCat 1.12. As a performance boot, it features advanced Puma technologies and has been designed for power players, the boot is a combination of engineering and comfort and has had a design overhaul so it looks completely different to the previous incarnation.
New lead player Cesc Fabregas commented, “The boot seriously impressed me. Playing in midfield is so physical, I need a boot that gives me power and protection, but comfort is also really important and this boot offers it all. The PowerCat 1.12 Boot is without doubt the best boot for me that I have tried, and gives me a lot of confidence to perform on the pitch.”
The stand-out feature of the new PowerCat 1.12 is the 3D DUO Power Shooting Technology, applied to the kicking area on the inside of the boot. Made from an innovative thermoplastic material with two different degrees of hardness, the boot has the advantage of being both highly responsive with extremely high rebound properties.
The newly created Puma 3D PST DUO technology enables improved grip on the ball through its exposed elements, and instead of absorbing the energy it increases the kicking power of the player. The kicking area employs a soft K-Leather while the lightweight microfiber material in the lateral quarter supports the midfoot and helps to keep the weight of the boot to a minimum.
The Puma PowerLast, an evolution of the Puma AptoLast, follows the foot’s natural contours, providing a glove like fit allowing the upper to mould to players fit. Coupled with the stable yet flexible outsole, the PowerCat 1.12 soccer cleats give the best possible comfort. Optimal support, stability and protection are provided by the asymmetrical external TPU-injected heel counter.
The long-anticipated successor to the PowerCat 1.10, Puma's new power boot has already impressed and competing with rival boots the Nike T90 Laser IV and adidas Predator adiPower, it's perhaps the stand-out candidate in the modern market for strength and power.
The new Puma PowerCat 1.12 football boots are on sale now ahead of a dispatch date of 10th February, and you can expect to pay around £135 GBP for the soft ground versions and £130 for firm ground. And with Puma's recent on-pitch resurgence seeing plenty of stars switch into the Formstripe, we'll be keeping an eye on pitches around the globe for boot spots of the new PowerCat 1.12.
