WELCOME TO FASTER FOOTBALL: PUMA LAUNCHES NEW ERA WITH THE ULTRA 1.3 FEATURING A UNISEX AND A WOMEN-SPECIFIC FIT

See Them Later With The Next Generation ULTRA 1.3

Sports company PUMA has today invited the world to join the Faster Football movement with the unveiling of the next generation ULTRA 1.3. For the first time, PUMA will offer both a Unisex and Women-specific fit for its trailblazing new speed boot. The launch marks a huge step for PUMA and the football world as PUMA shows its commitment to pushing the game forward and further supporting Women’s football.

FASTER FOOTBALL IS A MOVEMENT. A MOVEMENT TO DO THINGS DIFFERENT AND EMBRACE CHANGE.

The aim is to speed up the game with innovative products, hero PUMA’s leaders, support young players and break down barriers.

“Faster Football is about driving positive change in football, faster. The new ULTRA is a huge leap forward and is filled with an abundance of innovative new technology. By offering a Unisex and Women-specific fit for the ULTRA, we want to cater to all our athletes, “said Matthias Bäumer, General Manager BU Teamsport. “We will continue to offer a Women-specific fit, along with our Unisex fit, giving our athletes the tools to perform at their highest level. We understand the needs are different when it comes to fit for male and female athletes therefore, we want to take progressive action to satisfy these differences.”

The ULTRA 1.3 has been crafted to See Them Later, designed to light up the game with explosive straight-line speed. To be worn by some of the world’s best players, including Antoine Griezmann, Kingsley Coman, Sergio Agüero, Nikita Parris and Eugénie Le Sommer, the UTLRA 1.3 is engineered to deliver the game’s fastest football boot.

Both ULTRA editions feature a re-engineered lightweight MATRYXEVO woven upper featuring technical Carbon yarns and transparent Mono yarns. The new upper combines with a brand new SPEEDCAGE to create multilayered support for rapid movement. The upper features cut-out transparent windows in the mid foot to further reduce weight making the ULTRA 1.3 even lighter than the ULTRA 1.2.

Additional upgrades to the ULTRA include a GripControl Pro skin that now coats the entire upper – providing a texture for decisive command over the ball. The ULTRA Unisex features an ultra-fast lightweight PEBA SpeedUnit outsole infused with running spike DNA for lightning-fast acceleration and the Women-specific ULTRA features a customized PEBA soleplate with conical studs.

With a mission to drive the game forward, PUMA has developed the new ULTRA 1.3 with two bespoke performance fits that tailor to different foot shapes based on research, data and player feedback.

Research into the anatomy of the male and female foot, combined with cross comparison fit testing, formed the basis to develop our Women-specific ULTRA said Lilly Cocks, Senior Developer Teamsport Footwear. The Women’s-edition features a regular to narrow silhouette shape, a lower instep, reduced midfoot volume and conical studs. By removing more volume from the upper we have created a boot that is more tailored to the anatomical shape of the female foot.”

See Them Later with the PUMA ULTRA 1.3 Unisex and Women’s football boot, launching as part of the Faster Football pack. The Women’s edition is available on pre-sale from July 15^th with the Unisex edition available from July 16^th at PUMA.com and specialist football accounts. The global in-store date for both editions is July 22^nd in PUMA stores and at leading football retailers worldwide.

THE INFLUENCE PACK

Sports company PUMA has today launched the Influence Pack, a collection featuring four individual football jerseys each inspired by a special city and its football culture. PUMA has partnered with COPA90, nss sports, SEASON zine and SHUKYU magazine to create jerseys crafted from the cultures of London, New York, Naples and Tokyo.

PUMA X COPA90 JERSEY

COPA90 is inspired by New York’s soccer culture. A scene that started as a counterculture movement, defying age-old traditions, a product of New York’s history of hustling and change. Just like the city itself, the soccer pitches draw together people from different backgrounds, allowing them to forge their own traditions.

In collaboration with COPA90, PUMA has designed a special jersey inspired by the great city of New York. The famous five boroughs are a focal point of the design, along with the iconic bridges that connect them.

The black jersey with gold trim features all over graphics of famous places, buildings and soccer pitches located in the city. The crest features a comic version of the iconic Statue of Liberty, while the number five is displayed on the front and the back of the jersey, paying tribute to the five boroughs of New York. Written in gold, the COPA90 logo is displayed across the jersey’s neckline.

PUMA X NSS JERSEY

Born in 2012, nss magazine has become the reference point for street culture, sneakers and fashion communities and enthusiasts all over Europe. nss sports is a branch of nss magazine who are dedicated to football and sportswear culture.

In partnership with nss, PUMA has designed a truly unique jersey influenced by the city of Naples, the birthplace of nss magazine. The jersey also features a special tribute to the city’s brotherhood with Kagoshima, with reference to both cities and their volcanoes: Mount Vesuvius and Mount Sakurajima.

The slick grey jersey features a custom volcano crest, with the nss logo displayed across the front of the jersey in place of the sponsor logo. The all over flame graphic representing the fire from the volcanoes takes inspiration from old Japanese football jerseys. The neckline integrates the names and coordinates of both volcanoes.

PUMA X SEASON ZINE JERSEY

SEASON zine is a London-based trailblazing football and fashion platform founded in 2016 to counter the male, pale and sometimes stale state of modern football culture. Across print issues with original football stickers, events, newsletters, and more, the magazine empowers women and marginalized communities on and far beyond the pitch.

PUMA and SEASON zine have partnered to create a refreshing pastel jersey that reflects the platform’s journey. If you’re from London or you’ve visited London, you’ve almost certainly travelled by tube. The bespoke all-over graphic pays homage to the well-known retro patterns taken from the seats found on London’s public transport network in powder lilac and white, with a tech twist on the London tube map overlaid on top in vivid mint. A shiny grey ‘SEASON’ logo is displayed in place of the sponsor logo and on the neckline, you can find ‘FASHION FOOTBALL est.2016’ spelling out the platform’s beginning.

SEASON zine is celebrating its fifth birthday this year and the crest features 10 stars – one for each issue planned. Celebrate Your Journey! In this jersey. How far you’ve come, the lessons learned, everything you’ve achieved.

PUMA X SHUKYU JERSEY

SHUKYU is a football culture magazine based in Tokyo. The magazine focuses on players, clubs, supporters, fashion, art and the culture that exists beyond the beautiful game.

The striking green jersey draws inspiration from the city of Tokyo and the traditional Japanese event ‘Kemari’, a form of historical football. The Kemari festival takes place each year and is a platform for players to show their talents.

For this special jersey the cherry blossom motif has been used in an all over graphic inspired by the design of typical ‘Kimono’ costumes. The jersey also features a custom crest in homage to traditional Japanese patterns and fabrics. The magazine title is displayed in bold across the front of the jersey and the layout of the magazine’s front cover is displayed on the back of the jersey featuring the number 11.

The Influence Pack is available from March 24th at PUMA.com and at select football retailers worldwide.

PUMA CELEBRATES THEIR LOW-PROFILE HERITAGE WITH THE LAUNCH OF THE SPEEDCAT LS

Global sports company PUMA refreshes their legacy of low-profile footwear with the launch of the Speedcat LS. The characteristic thin rubber sole shows an impressive journey so far from the performance orientated field of motorsport to the stylish look in daily lifestyle.

Born in 1999 the very first PUMA Speedcat conquered the street. The low-profile silhouette of the shoe was the perfect companion in daily life. The synergy of a smart and casual looking shoe combined with a cool sneaker attitude made you easily carve through your work in office in style without comprising your performance on the dance floors in the evening. The Speedcat evolution kicked off with partner Sparco resulting in an iconic signature line, the OG. The versatility of the footwear continued with PUMA launching the first women-orientated Speedcat Mid collections,
amending the silhouette of the shoe with a midcut.

The signature “feeling” of the thin low-profile rubber sole on the pedals was a major key
characteristic for PUMA Motorsport to provide the fastest teams worldwide with race boots inspired by Speedcat. Since 2004 PUMA is the official supplier of Scuderia Ferrari with Mercedes- AMG Petronas F1 team, BMW M Motorsport, Red Bull Racing and Porsche Motorsport following afterwards. The race boots offer the drivers fire-proof material, light-weight fabrics and great handling of the brake and throttle.

Speedcat sparked a range of additional low profile inspired PUMA Motorsport footwear like the Future Cat, RDG-Cat, R-Cat, Driftcat and Kartcat. The latest member of the Speedcat family – the Speedcat LS –Lifestyle - comes in the established suede upper with embroidered logos on the archive silhouette. The sockliner is featuring a profoam insert for better cushioning and comfort for the very first time. The Speedcat LS revamps the streets in four different colorways: PUMA Black, Peacoat, Cloud Pink and High Risk Red.

THE DREAMER 2: PUMA RELEASES J. COLE’S SECOND SIGNATURE BASKETBALL SNEAKER

Global sports company PUMA has announced the launch of J. Cole’s second signature basketball sneaker, the DREAMER 2. The new silhouette is the latest addition to the DREAMER franchise, which successfully debuted with the original RS-Dreamer last year.

The DREAMER 2 “January 28” is named after J. Cole’s classic song from his popular album “2014 Forrest Hills Drive,” which shares his birthday and the launch date for DREAMER 2.

This announcement comes as music fans impatiently await “The Off-Season” and other imminent music releases from Cole in 2021.The inspiration behind DREAMER 2 is that athletes and dreamers can achieve their highest potential and desires, from the kid fighting to make their team with hopes to be the next rising star, to the aging veteran who’s told their time has passed. Dreamers have the power to move the world forward.
To mark the launch of DREAMER 2, J. Cole brought it back to where his earliest dreams and fantasies began, with a re-imaged photo of the “2014 Forest Hills Drive” album cover. In the photo, Cole is sitting on his childhood rooftop in the same iconic fashion as the famous life-changing album cover, but this time he is showcasing his own signature shoe on his feet and is no longer looking off into the distance for his own dreams and aspirations, but instead looking straight on as if to say, “I did it, now it’s your turn.”

This second signature basketball sneaker is a mid-silhouette intended to be worn on and off the court. It’s equipped with the latest RS technology allowing athletes to perform at the highest level while also boasting a bold and slick fashion-forward design.

It encompasses key elements that have defined the RS-0, RS-100 and RS-X and brings them to the court in a totally new design. The sneakers also feature PUMA’s signature ProFoam throughout the midsole which allows for rebound and energy return while the full coverage rubber outsole is enhanced for optimal durability and traction.

The DREAMER 2 will be available at the PUMA NYC Flagship Store, on PUMA.com, FootLocker.com and online and in store at Foot Looker Inc. Family of Brands (including Foot Locker, Kids Foot Locker, Champs, Footaction and Eastbay) and select retailers worldwide, starting January 28.
