Having said that, it would have been nice to have received a wide version of the Puma Ultra 1.3 to cater to a broaded customer base (pun unintended). Raw performance Made with updated technology which is more suited to the speed of the modern game, this is a model for players who prefer comfort with simple style.

With the Future, you don’t need to buy a laceless model separately, this one will work with laces or without! Which is good to know. Now with multiple vegan-friendly offerings and countless collaborations with other brands, the King 21 has moved on far from the original design. Puma King technology The Puma Ultra is becoming increasingly popular within world football, top names such as *deep inhale* Christian Pulisic, Antony, Raphaël Varane, Harry Maguire, Olivier Giroud, Cody Gakpo, Kyle Walker, Aleksandar Mitrović and Oleksandr Zinchenko, are all wearing them. Editor’s note: For those wondering about why it’s a women’s fit and a unisex fit. Part of the reason is that because most girls have grown up wearing men’s variant of football boots. Puma always had a reputation for pushing the boundaries of speed, culminating in their SL boots which infamously only lasted 10 games. The Puma Ultra 1.3, though is a much more balanced affair. It’s very light but does not compromise on touch and thinness nor sacrifice too much on the durability front.

But even with all that, it’s the dual density SPEEDPLATE outsole that steals the show, providing unbridled power off the mark when it comes to sprints. Who wears Puma Ultra?

The original Puma King has been one of the world’s finest football boots since 1966 (great year). But this Puma King is an update on that classic. As we mentioned, the Ultra Ultimate is the crème de la crème of this model. But for less money (which means less tech), you can grab Pro, Match and Play takedown versions. This made it one of the few wide-foot friendly speed boots on the market, whilst also having a super lightweight and aggressive tooling with a thin barefoot knit based upper. Just on looks alone though, the Puma Ultra 1.3 is an entirely different beast, so strap up to find out just how different the new Puma Ultra is.

Unlike other releases in the market, the Puma Ultra 1.3 was the first to arrive in two variants – a unisex fit and a women’s fit. We’ve previously discussed Ida Sports football, which is a women-centric football boot.

The latest Puma Future goes through the numbered system of takedowns. From 1.4 being the best they have to offer, through to 4.4 containing the lowest quality materials. Last year, Puma rewrote the rules of the speed boot game with the Puma Ultra 1.1. For years, the speed boot market had reached a sort of détente, with the brands distancing themselves from defining their speed boots by weight, and instead focusing on being ‘light enough’ whilst not compromising on comfort. But all that changed in 2020, with Puma igniting a new arms race for the lightest speed boot title. While I’m not the biggest fan of such a move, it’s an understandable one. When it comes to speed, one of the ways to make a boot feel “faster” or more lightweight, is to have the boot fit your foot more tightly, so it feels more one-to-one. We were huge fans of the Puma Ultra 1.1 and 1.2, because interestingly, Puma gave it a more voluminous fit, which made it friendly for wider footed players.An uber-light Peba base unit helps avoid any unwanted weight in this silo, with added support coming from the Dynamic Motion System outsole. To further reduce weight, Puma also included transparent cut-out windows in the upper, giving it that super speedy look. To ensure that you’re not faster than the ball in wet conditions, the upper has also been coated with a GripControl Pro skin upper to ensure the grippiest touch on the ball even in wet conditions. This model is also one of the only boots to come in a true women’s shaping, which is why they’re trusted by Nicole Billa, Cristina Girelli & Ramona Bachmann too. Models available now
