GO CREATE WITH THE LIMITED-EDITION FUTURE 1.4 NJR RARE EDITION. LET YOUR TRICKS DO THE TALKING
With a bag of tricks that is second to none, Neymar Jr. has the ability – and the audacity to drive any defender crazy.

More adaptive and comfortable than ever, the FUTURE is all about future innovation and pushing the boundaries of technology for players who shape the game to their vision and skill. With the FUTURE you don’t have to lace up to lock in. The second-generation FUZIONFIT+ technology adapts to the shape of your foot to give you the perfect balance of support and flexibility in each of the key zones, ensuring optimal fit and performance, with or without laces.

The adaptive compression technology perfectly adjusts to the contours of each foot. Paired with a lightweight Nano Grip sockliner insole, the technology minimizes foot slippage inside the boot, allowing you to maintain power transfer for explosive multi-directional movements.

The FUZIONFIT+ knit utilizes a specific mix of polyester and spandex yarns, with special technical yarns to create the perfect balance of compression, comfort, and durability for that second-skin feeling.

 

The FUTURE features Advanced Creator Zones that are engineered to enhance ball grip and provide softness in the forefoot, which is key for optimal control and touch when dribbling, passing, and finishing. The mesh material in the forefoot provides a thinner layer between foot and ball for added touch sensitivity. The Advanced Creator Zone patterns allow you to play without constraint, through a mix of grippy textures that help you to manipulate the ball.

The Dynamic Motion System outsole is designed for optimal traction. The super lightweight PEBA tooling system, with its eye-catching soleplate reduces weight and provides a solid base to generate devastating accelerations, movements, and skills in all directions.

The FUTURE 1.4 NJR Rare edition in PUMA Silver, Platinum Grey, Sunset Glow and Elektro Purple is available from October 20th at PUMA.com and at leading football retailers worldwide.

Keep your head in the game: PUMA and Modibodi® introduce Period Pep Talks designed to keep women and girls in sport

Global sports company PUMA and absorbent apparel brand Modibodi®, have developed a series of Period Pep Talks with world-class female athletes - designed to encourage women and girls to stay in sport.

As part of the Period Pep Talk campaign, PUMA and Modibodi have designed a revolutionary new patent-pending period activewear collection. Launching this October, the new range will help women, girls and people who menstruate to feel comfortable and confident playing sport and being active during their period.

Period Pep Talks are a response to a globally commissioned report* that uncovered 1 in 2 girls quit sport due to periods. The talks feature world-class athletes including NRLW star Tiana Penitani, European sprinter Jodie Williams, and former professional race car driver Naomi Schiff, who directly address young girls and teens who are considering leaving the sport they love due to puberty and menstruation. The athletes share their own stories and experiences to help encourage girls to keep their head in the game.

“The data from our global report in May 2022, showed women and girls believe periods need to be more openly discussed in the sports world. That’s why we are proud to partner with PUMA to create the Period Pep Talks, working with their athletes to raise this issue in our global consciousness,” says Sarah Forde, Modibodi Head of Sustainability and Public Affairs.

According to PUMA Athlete Tiana Penitani: “I remember hitting puberty and finding it so hard to play on the field. The bulkiness of pads, the discomfort of tampons and the fear of leaking every month made me really nervous to play. One of the things I love about the new PUMA x Modibodi activewear is how they are designed to support the body whilst menstruating and in movement so you can play without fear of leaking or the discomfort of disposables. It's so freeing!”

PUMA Athlete Jodie Williams says: “I think it’s important for female athletes to share their stories and be as open as we can to help destigmatise the challenges of menstruating whilst competing. This is a global issue and one that will take us all speaking out to break down the taboo. The PUMA x Modibodi Period Pep Talks are an awesome way to connect with girls who are considering dropping out of sport and help to normalise menstruation. We need to tackle the stigma that women can't be active on their periods or when experiencing any of life’s leaks.”

PUMA Athlete Naomi Schiff says: “It is such a shame that the stigma around periods has and continues to hold girls back when it comes to sport. The PUMA x Modibodi collaboration not only brings innovation to the activewear market but it gives us girls and women wearable options that make it easier to be active at any point during a cycle. It also opens up the opportunity for a bigger change in the cultural conversation around the perceptions of periods in sport.”

The ground-breaking range combines Modibodi’s unique patent pending Activewear Technology with world-class expertise from PUMA. With a design showcasing innovation at its very best, the collection consists of two styles of activewear: leggings and cycle shorts with both styles available in two colours; aubergine and black.

This is the second installment from the PUMA x Modibodi powerhouse collaboration, after launching their first period and leak-proof underwear range in May this year.

“With 50 per cent of girls experiencing discomfort from disposable menstrual products like pads and tampons when participating in sport or physical exercise, we felt it was important to design a range of leak-proof activewear that would make playing sport on your period more comfortable, more protected, and more possible than ever,” says Erin Longin, Global Director Running and Training business unit at PUMA.

 

The PUMA x Modibodi activewear collection is available in selected stores and online at modibodi.com and puma.com.

“Greatness is doing it consistently “

PUMA Ambassador and German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl shares his motivation and goals in PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign

German ice hockey star Leon Draisaitl spoke about his motivation to keep performing at the highest level in a video interview with sports company PUMA, ahead of the new NHL season.

After winning the pre-game with his team, Leon Draisaitl, who was named most valuable player in 2020, is more than ready to rock the upcoming season starting with the first game October 13th.

“Individual awards are always great. You know, they show you that your hard work has paid off. But I’m in a team sport, right? So, winning the ultimate trophy as a team is more important at the end of the day.”

With the ‘Only See Great’ campaign, PUMA explores the career path of its brand ambassadors, as they talk about their own paths to greatness, listening to their hearts, and finding a vision that no one else can see.

 

After reaching the semi-finals with his team last season, Leon is now aiming for the finals: “I hope that we can take the next step next season. It was a great run, obviously, when you get to that point you want to win. But we did run into a team that was better than us. But hopefully next season we’re going to be that team.”

Despite a serious injury, Draisaitl fought through the last games of the season. He had to change his mindset, but his motivation is stronger than ever, he said: “Greatness is consistency. So, I’m preparing for next season like I do for any other season and to me it’s important to do it all over again. You know, show people that I’m capable of being at the top of my game every single year every night”, Leon says.

The idea for PUMA’s “Only See Great” campaign was inspired by cultural icon, entrepreneur and philanthropist Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter who first said: “I only see great. I don’t see good. I don’t see compromise. We should always strive to make something great, something that will last.”

HOW YOU PLAY IS WHAT YOU ARE: FEARLESS. PUMA LAUNCHES THE FEARLESS PACK

The new Fearless Pack features the new ULTRA and the FUTURE 1.4 in red-hot editions

PUMA Football has today launched their Generation Fearless campaign featuring the new ULTRA and the FUTURE 1.4 football boots in both Unisex and Women’s fit, ready for the winter fixtures and the World Cup.

Generation Fearless is capable of anything. Being fearless is all about being yourself, backing yourself, and staying loyal to your own style, philosophy, and freedom. When you’re fearless, you see nothing but potential in every moment, every action, be it the play you make, the clothes you wear, or the track you write. Whatever you do, do you. Welcome to Generation Fearless.

Each player has their own story to tell. In the new Generation Fearless film, each player tells their Fearless story. Whether it is a fearless mindset or fearless performance, the PUMA Fam gives insight into their mentality and what makes them fearless.

How you play is what you are: FEARLESS. With their sleek silhouettes, latest technology, innovation, and audacious color updates, the new ULTRA and FUTURE football boots are here to remind you that no play is too outrageous. The Fearless Pack will be worn by some of the most fearless players in the world: Neymar Jr., Kingsley Coman, Fridolina Rolfö, Sara Björk, Christian Pulisic, Antony, Nikita Parris and Memphis Depay.

The next generation ULTRA Fearless edition turns seconds into records by fusing the new ultra-lightweight woven upper with a redesigned soleplate tooling for an explosive turn of speed. The gravity defying ULTRAWEAVE technology is PUMA’s lightest and most durable material and has been reinforced with the all-new PWRPRINT technology to provide ultimate stability and support, keeping your foot locked in for explosive straight-line speed.

 

The ULTRA has been engineered to change the game with explosive speed by giving you the edge that can be the difference between winning or losing. First or last. PUMA’s special ULTRAWEAVE brand technology has been optimized and integrated into football boots for the first time. The material has also been enhanced with a TPU skin to provide incredible durability at minimum weight.

Another first is the 5-D PWRPRINT technology, placed in key strategic areas of the boot. The cross-divisional innovation provides micro-level reinforcement for optimal lockdown and support, whilst maintaining all of the boot’s lightweight properties. The ULTRA also features an all-new soleplate constructed from a dual-density SPEEDPLATE outsole for next-level traction. The result is a more explosive plate and a more reactive toe box that provides added propulsion and energy transfer when going from 0 to fast.

 

More adaptive and comfortable than ever, the FUTURE Fearless edition is all about future innovation and pushing the boundaries of technology for players who shape the game to their vision and skill. With the FUTURE you don’t have to lace up to lock in. The second-generation FUZIONFIT+ technology adapts to the shape of your foot to give you the perfect balance of support and flexibility in each of the key zones, ensuring optimal fit and performance, with or without laces.

The adaptive compression technology perfectly adjusts to the contours of each foot. Paired with a lightweight Nano Grip sockliner insole, the technology minimizes foot slippage inside the boot, allowing you to maintain power transfer for explosive multi-directional movements.
