REBORN TO PERFORM: PUMA INTRODUCES THE FIRST MILE PACK, FOOTBALL BOOTS MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS
Sports company PUMA has made its successful ULTRA 1.3 and the FUTURE 1.2 football boots more sustainable by using recycled materials from its partnership with the First Mile initiative.

The products of the First Mile pack are made with recycled yarn that is manufactured from plastic bottles collected in the First Mile network, which also makes a social impact by strengthening microeconomies in Honduras, Haiti and Taiwan China. PUMA has worked together with First Mile since 2019 but it is the first time, the company has used First Mile’s recycled yarns in football boots.

The collectors in the First Mile network gather plastic bottles, which prevent the bottles from reaching landfills and the world’s oceans. With every purchase of First Mile products people are supporting local opportunities and creating a positive impact by generating jobs and reducing environmental waste.

PUMA utilizes recycled yarns developed from post-consumer plastic collected by First Mile in Taiwan China. The plastic is sorted, cleaned, shredded, spun into yarn and then woven into a stretchy engineered knit to create football boots that play faster but tread a little lighter. 

 

Through its Forever Better sustainability strategy, PUMA has set itself 10 targets to improve its environmental impact. The company plans to make 9 out of its 10 products more sustainable by 2025.

The ULTRA 1.3 contains 21% recycled material in the upper made from post-consumer plastic. Maintaining all performance benefits of the ULTRA 1.3, the lightweight MATRYXEVO technology features recycled Chamatex yarns and First Mile yarns designed for ultimate lightweight speed so you can be at your fastest from the first step. The upper is connected to an internal SPEEDCAGE for lightweight support, keeping your foot locked in so you can be at your most explosive.

The ULTRA features a unique PEBA SpeedUnit outsole for maximum take-off speed, traction and responsiveness at high velocity giving you the platform to produce faster movements all over the pitch. Infused with PUMA running spike DNA, the ULTRA is deadlier than ever. The First Mile ULTRA 1.3 will debut on pitch with Manchester United superstar Raphaël Varane, a strong advocate for sustainable products.

42% of the FUTURE Z 1.2 upper is made up of recycled materials made from post-consumer plastic. The FUTURE’s innovative FUZIONFIT+ compression has been engineered for the ultimate fit, perfectly wrapping around the foot for maximum comfort and responsiveness so you can make explosive cuts and directional changes at your top speed. 

 

The recycled upper combines with a recycled Dynamic Motion System outsole, a specially crafted plate for explosive agility, extreme traction and multi directional movement. All linings, foams and vamps use recycled materials, making this the most sustainable FUTURE ever. The FUTURE Z 1.2 First Mile edition will be worn by Manchester City star Vicky Losada.

“With this pack, we introduce First Mile recycled yarn into our football boots for the first time,” said Dominique Gathier, Senior Head of Product Line Management Teamsport Footwear. “The project is very important to PUMA as we continue to utilize more recycled and sustainable materials in football products. We have already launched First Mile collections with our Licensed clubs AC Milan and Manchester City, so we are very happy to launch footwear through the initiative. This is the first step as we move toward more sustainable footwear products without impacting the high-level performance benefits of our signature silos.”

“First Mile is proud to partner with PUMA to clean up the environment and to improve the livelihoods of our waste collectors in Taiwan China,” said Jeff Wang, First Mile Taiwan China Impact Manager. “We are thrilled to have been able to transform trash into a high performing football boot that will be used at the highest level of the game. For our collectors to see the value their collected waste materials have on a global stage has brought immense pride to their work.”

The First Mile pack featuring recycled editions of the ULTRA 1.3 and the FUTURE 1.2 will be available from February 17th at PUMA.com, PUMA stores and select retailers worldwide.

PLAY WILD AND UNLEASH YOUR INNER ANIMAL WITH THE FUTURE Z 1.3 INSTINCT EDITION
PUMA has today launched the animalistic FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct edition, packed full of innovation and technology. The next generation FUTURE has evolved from its predecessor with a unique new look inspired by the game’s ultimate entertainer – Neymar Jr.

The FUTURE Z is engineered for ultimate agility. The new technologically advanced boot will activate your football instincts to let you prey on the opposition with all the confidence of a big cat, taking your game to wild new levels.

The cutting-edge FUZIONFIT+ technology has received a second-generation upgrade. The specially crafted knitted material now extends from the midfoot to the collar opening to provide optimal lock-in and a supportive fit allowing you to play with or without laces.

The adaptive support adjusts to the shape of your feet, as the 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 Z 1.3 features the all-new 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 forefront provides a thinner layer between foot and ball for added touch sensitivity. The mesh pattern on the medial side provides ultimate softness while the 3D print on the lateral side enables closer ball control.

The Advanced Creator Zone patterns allow you to play without constraint, through a mix of grippy textures that help you to manipulate the ball.

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

“The most eye-catching feature of the new boot is the evolution of the FUZIONFIT+,” said Florian Nemetz, Senior Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear. “The FUZIONFIT+ compression technology has become very popular amongst our players because the adaptive fit provides the optimal lock-down feeling in the boots. Player and consumer feedback has helped us to evolve the technology and to enhance the player’s ability to perform a wide range of multi-directional movements. New this year, we have developed Advanced Creator Zones to provide increased grip and softness in the forefoot, which was another key insight from our players. This provides greater control and touch benefits essential for dynamic players.”

“The team have really taken things to the next level with the new FUTURE Z” said Neymar Jr. “The FUZIONFIT+ now extends to the top of the foot and the compression is perfectly balanced allowing me to feel comfortable and move freely. The boot feels like an extension of my foot allowing me to play without restrictions. This is key to the way I play.”

The FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct edition will be worn by Neymar Jr., Dzsenifer Marozsán, James Maddison, Luis Suárez and Eugénie Le Sommer.

The PUMA FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct edition and the blackout FUTURE Z 1.3 Eclipse edition are available from March 17th at PUMA.com, PUMA stores, specialist football accounts and at leading football retailers worldwide.

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.
