Closer Look | PUMA evoSPEED 1.3 F947 : Football Boots : Soccer Bible

Any speed category boot that adorns the Ferrari badge on the bonnet gets our full attention. As far as collaborations go they don't come more match-made than the PUMA evoSPEED 1.3 F947, an early front-runner for limited edition boot of 2015.

Six years after their first partnership PUMA and Ferrari have revved their engines once more to drive another stunning limited edition football boot out of the showroom. Speed cars have long been the inspiration for lightweight football footwear and that's become an almost literal inspiration with the evoSPEED 1.3 F947 as the boot borrows the window air intakes used on Ferrari cars to reduce weight. As well as the bodywork, the interior of a Ferrari is also replicated as the F947 boots features brown accents influenced by the car's premium leather.



Just 947 pairs land worldwide, with a number of retailers listing them for pre-order ahead of a March 12 drop. Why 947? That number's taken from the year the first street-legal Ferrari was created by Enzo F. in 1947. Majestic aren't they? Anyone that snags a pair will be forgiven for taking them out onto the driveway every Sunday morning, cleaning them, buffing them and taking them for spin around the block wearing nothing but the box as a racing helmet.

The PUMA evoSPEED 1.3 F947 is slapped with a £220 price tag and is available to pre-order at selected online stockists including Pro-Direct Soccer for a 12/03 launch.
