About

Puma King

The King is the classic leather football boot from Puma, a model that dates back to the 1960s and was worn by players like Pelé and Diego Maradona. It is one of the oldest names in football footwear, and in recent years has returned in both field and indoor versions.

The look is defined by the soft leather upper, which is stitched across the instep in a wavy seam pattern. The brand’s formstripe runs along the side with a thin contrasting outline, and the tongue is folded over at the top, a detail that sets the model apart from most modern football boots. The indoor version sits on a flat rubber sole for hard floors.

That the King is returning now fits with the broader interest in leather football boots on the street. While most field boots today are made of synthetic materials, the King sticks to leather and to a shape that has remained virtually unchanged for decades.

You’ll find the contemporary rival from the same era in the Nike Tiempo; for the modern, speed-built football boot look to the Nike Mercurial.
