The rumors about a totally new Puma Football Boot began in June 2013, when a Puma official talked about a Puma boot innovation coming in 2014 not explaining new details. This new Puma Boot is the Puma evoPOWER Boot, which was released today by the German Brand and is the successor of the Puma Powercat Boot.
The Puma evoPOWER boot is a high-performance soccer shoe that is designed to maximize power and accuracy. This shoe is endorsed and worn by three of world football's most talented young players, Spain's Cesc Fabregas, Italy's Mario Balotelli and Germany's young Reus.
The Puma evoPOWER's upper is made from a premium one-way stretchable material known as AdapLite. AdapLite is designed to give players a barefoot-like feel, encouraging optimal delivery of power from foot to ball.
The shoes feature a soft heel insert on the back of the boot. This is designed to minimize pressure on the heel as well as enhance flexibility within the boot. The boot is also lightweight, weighing only 206 grams.
