Puma Evopower 2, Men's Football Boots

Product Information

This bat has a multi-layer PUMA grip which gives best touch as well as control. Puma gives softer compound rubber for bottom hand. The concept behind the evoPOWER line is to enhance the bare foot striking experience. On designing these boots PUMA undertook extensive research into the anatomy of the feet and found that the natural flexibility of your foot as well as the curling of your toes, results in increased power of your shot, while adding padding to your foot would increase accuracy. With this in mind, the purpose of the boot was to create a silo which could replicate/enhance that bare foot shooting experience. Marriages, music, endorsements: Pele's life away from the field".

I’d definitely invest in a pair.

If you browse Puma boots now, you might see, for example, the Puma Future Ultimate costing almost three times as much as the Future Match. Why is that? He used to be the face of the Future during its Netfit days, but Griezmann has graciously ceded being the headline star to Neymar and focuses instead in promoting the Ultra speed boots. In May 2011, English newspaper The Guardian stated that Puma was the "world's first major company to put a value on its environmental impact" and that Puma "has made a commitment that within four years, half its international collections will be manufactured according to its internal sustainability standard, by using more sustainable materials such as recycled polyester, as well as ensuring its suppliers develop more sustainable materials and products."

The Skinny Summary

Staying with the idea of grip you'll also notice that there's a feature which runs from the forefoot up into the medial side of the boot which is been branded as ‘Grip-Tex’. These are the bright graphics that give the boot its character, which might be the only thing that they do because although there is the slightest bit of friction when touching these pads with your bare hands, there wasn't a major difference when playing. During the 1972 Summer Olympics, Puma provided shoes for the Ugandan 400 metres hurdles champion, John Akii-Bua. After Akii-Bua was forced out of Uganda by its military government, Puma employed him in Germany. Eventually, Akii-Bua returned to Uganda. [22] PUMA won no shortage of new fans with the launch of their new evoPOWER silo in 2014 with an aggressive push that basically said everyone else had been doing ‘power’ football boots wrong for decades.

Puma is also known for boosting positive environmental practices in its supply chain through financial incentives. The supply chain finance scheme implemented links the sustainability performance of key suppliers to the costs at which they can access finance. The system won the company an "Innovation Award" in Supply Chain Finance in 2016. [82]

Puma launched the Puma Clyde in 1973, a basketball shoe based on the Suede.

The evoPOWER series has continually been a top power option for players. In fact, of the big 3 (adidas, Nike, Puma) this range is the last remaining power boot. But this time around, things are just a little different. Yes they still hold the power element, but there is a more sophisticated aura about these. The AccuFoam 3D dots kind of turn them into a playmaker style boot, where the additional padding creates a cleaner touch without impacting overall feel on the ball. So, they do fit the power mold but in a less obvious fashion.
