PUMA KING PLATINUM LAZERTOUCH OFFERS NEW LEVELS OF CONTROL

Sports company PUMA has introduced a new cutting-edge technology for football boots, which enhances the control properties of K-leather. This industry-first technology has been deployed for the first time ever in the new PUMA KING Platinum Lazertouch, which offers new levels of touch and feel on the ball.

PUMA KING PLATINUM LAZERTOUCH

The patented new Lazertouch technology is exclusive to PUMA and allows for a variety of specially crafted textures and graphics to be embossed onto the upper material of the boot. The technology developed in Germany, uses lasers to engrave detailed performance augmented patterns and textures to a mold, before it is fused together with the K-leather, enhancing the material’s existing control properties.

“The PUMA KING is synonymous with craftmanship and premium materials for ultimate ball control. The performance enhancing Lazertouch technology applied to key strike zones elevates the touch of every on-pitch maestro to a whole new level,” said Dominique Gathier, Head of Product Line Management Teamsport at PUMA. “This is just the first application of Lazertouch in our football footwear, and we are exploring further opportunities across our range of boot silos.” 

The PUMA KING Platinum Lazertouch is a super-soft, premium K-leather boot upper boosted with 3-D ‘touch’ texture for added control. The locked-in fit is refined with a knitted tongue and the ultra-modern slim silhouette combined with the super lightweight ‘RAPIDSPRINT’ outsole makes it the fastest and lightest PUMA KING ever.

Eindhoven is a city of thinkers, daredevils and makers; it is a city of innovation. It’s filled with creative minds working together in unity to shape the future.

The new PSV Eindhoven Home kit embodies the traditions and ideals of this transitional city. The classic red and white striped jersey subtly applies the city’s iconic ‘Vibe’ logo into the stripes, which signifies the power of sharing technique, design and knowledge.

 

"The new shirt, the first of the partnership between PUMA and PSV, symbolizes the strong connection we have with our city. This year it will be 100 years since Eindhoven and several surrounding municipalities formed one city, the city we now know as one of the most innovative in the world. We commemorate this by giving the ‘Vibe’, the logo of Eindhoven, a place in our famous red-white striping," said Frans Janssen, Commercial Director PSV.

PUMA CELEBRATES MANCHESTER CULTURE WITH THE NEW CITY HOME KIT, INSPIRED BY THE MOSAICS OF MANCHESTER
Sports company PUMA has unveiled the new Manchester City Home kit for the 2020/21 season to be worn by the men’s, women’s and youth teams. The Home jersey’s pattern is inspired by the iconic mosaics located in the creative hub of Manchester’s Northern Quarter and pays homage to a city brimming with football and creativity. 

Art, industry, football, music, fashion, noise, and color are Manchester’s DNA and the mosaics displayed in the city are a celebration of this diverse culture. Mosaics have also been an important part of Manchester City’s history, stretching back almost 100 years to when the original City mosaic first adorned the gates of the Maine Road Stadium. Today, the mosaic tradition continues with many club legends being immortalized as mosaic artworks at the City Football Academy, inspiring the next generation of players. 

 

Mark Kennedy, the artist behind the mosaics of Manchester’s Northern Quarter as well as the player artworks at the City Football Academy said, “When I began my journey as an artist, the Northern Quarter was a derelict area that I looked at and wanted to build up. I began creating Manchester icons using ceramic plates and tiles, integrating my own artistic style. My family and I have always been huge City fans, so I created artwork of the players too. Over time I was commissioned to create artwork for the club and the city of Manchester, so I feel very privileged to see PUMA use my art as inspiration for the new City Home jersey.”

The new Manchester City Home jersey features the mosaic pattern in classic City blue and white, with navy trim. The kit is completed with white shorts and light blue socks. The Home kit will be available from July 16th at PUMA.com, ManCity.com and at select retailers worldwide.

The new Home kit will debut in Manchester City’s FA Cup semi-final match against Arsenal on Saturday 18th July.

Whilst Castlefield’s history dates back to Roman times, it is most celebrated as the heart of Manchester’s industrial past having once been the terminus of both the world’s first industrial canal, the Bridgewater canal, and first inter-city railway. The area has now been transformed into one of the city’s most vibrant art and music hubs, as well as home to Manchester’s multi-cultural youth scene, and has flourished into a region brimming with creativity and collaboration.

“With this kit we wanted to celebrate the culture of the city. We looked for places where people come together to explore their creativity through art and music. Castlefield is rich with history and significance to the city; it truly connects with cultural youth scene and creative roots. The bridge over the canal is an iconic design, which inspired us to bring this classic structure to life through the pattern and the color palette of the new jersey. We wanted the jersey to feel special and unique to fans, and celebrate Manchester’s rich culture,” said David Bremond, Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Licensed.

 

The new Manchester City Away jersey features an all over pattern printed tone on tone, influenced by the structures and patterns of Castlefield and the Bridgewater canal in dark blue and black, with copper detailing.
