PLAY FOREVER. PUMA AND MANCHESTER CITY CELEBRATE ICONIC TEAMS OF THE PAST AND CLUB LEGEND COLIN BELL WITH THE NEW 2022/23 HOME KIT
Global sports company PUMA has today launched the 2022/23 Manchester City Home kit, inspired by the entertaining City teams of the late 1960’s and one of their leaders and club icon Colin Bell.

From 1967 to 1971, no team could match the style and swagger of Manchester City. Their pass-and-move, end-to-end attacking football was ahead of its time. City went on to win every domestic title and top it off with the European Cup Winners’ Cup. They did so in a way that, half a century on, inspires the new generation of players as they continue to push boundaries at home and in Europe.

Sitting among the pantheon of extraordinary footballers that have graced the Manchester City team is Colin Bell. One of City’s greatest ever players, Bell was inspirational for the club. In 1967 he led the team to their first league title in 31 years. Inspired by kits worn in Bell’s era, the new Home kit pays tribute to him as one of Manchester City’s biggest icons. Here, there, everywhere Bell was a fan favorite for his incredible athleticism and limitless stamina. He was the heart of the side.

The new 2022/23 Home kit echoes the classic designs of the past, placing the club crest at the center of the light blue jersey with signature maroon trims on the sleeve cuffs. The crown logo placed inside the neckline pays tribute to “Colin the King”.

“The new Manchester Home kit is a fitting tribute to classic City Home kits styles of the past. We wanted to create a modern spin on the jerseys worn between 1967 to 1971,” said Marco Mueller, Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Apparel. “The maroon trim was an important detail because this was an iconic color seen on many of the previous City Home kits. The jersey is a great homage to the entertaining teams of old and the exciting free-flowing football of the current City team.”

Jon Bell, Colin’s son, said, “As a family, we’re incredibly touched that the club and PUMA have chosen to remember the teams of the late 1960’s and my dad with next season’s Home kit – it’s a beautiful gesture. It really captures the history and togetherness of Manchester City as a club, and I hope the fans like it and can remember those great moments.”

The new jersey arrives in two iterations. The authentic jersey features ULTRAWEAVE performance fabric and dryCELL sweat-wicking technology, making the jersey the lightest and most comfortable PUMA has ever made. The Replica version is made with 100% recycled polyester with dryCELL sweat-wicking technology to keep you dry and comfortable throughout the 90 minutes and beyond – no matter the time, pitch or place.

Celebrate icons of the past with the 2022/23 Manchester City kit available from May 19th at PUMA stores, PUMA .com, the City store at the Etihad Stadium Store, mancity.com/shop and at select retailers worldwide.

NOT EVEN YOU KNEW YOU WERE THIS FAST. PUMA LAUNCHES THE ALL-NEW ULTRA ULTIMATE

Sports company PUMA has today revealed the all-new next generation ULTRA ULTIMATE. Speed is in PUMA’s DNA, and with the latest update to the super-light ULTRA, PUMA are pushing the limits of speed even further by applying their exclusive ULTRAWEAVE technology to football boots for the first time ever.

The next generation ULTRA 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 designed to be ‘Too Fast for Them’, engineered to change the game with explosive speed giving you the edge that can be the difference between winning or losing. First or last. To be worn by some of the world’s most dynamic players, including Kingsley Coman, Christian Pulisic, Antoine Griezmann and Nikita Parris. The ULTRA ULTIMATE has been crafted to deliver the game’s fastest football boot.

“We are excited to unveil the newest iteration of the ULTRA, featuring ULTRAWEAVE and PWRPRINT technologies to push the limits of speed,” said Peter Stappen, PUMA Lead Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear. “The new upper is made of PUMA’s lightest ever performance material and features at least 20% recycled content as we continue to strive for a more sustainable future with our football boots. Every aspect of the new ULTRA screams fast and for the first time on the ULTRA we have added the iconic Formstrip, but with a modern interpretation that honors our speed history.”

Following years of testing, 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. The technology has already been utilized in PUMA’s apparel range and is the next step in the evolution of speed at PUMA.

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 the boots 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.

PUMA also continues to offer both Unisex and Women’s fits to provide the perfect fit for all types of foot shapes. The ULTRA ULTIMATE Women’s fit features all the same technology as the Unisex fit, but with optimized measurements such as volume and instep height all engineered for the female foot.
