Puma Football Boots

Puma’s football history begins with a quarrel between brothers. Rudolf and Adolf Dassler made sports shoes together in the German town of Herzogenaurach until they split in 1948; Adolf started adidas, Rudolf founded Puma on the other side of the river. Since then the two brands have lined up against each other on the touchline for almost eighty years, and football is the playing field where that rivalry is sharpest.

The range rests on three families, each with its own promise. The Puma King is the leather classic from 1968, the shoe of Pelé, Cruijff and Maradona, with padded panels, a gold KING badge on the side and the distinctive fold-over tongue with lace flap. The Puma Future is the modern counterpart, built around agility, and the Puma Ultra serves the pure speed player.

The details reveal which family you prefer. On the Future 8 a pleated, ribbed structure runs across the instep to help guide ball contact, with a knitted sock collar around the ankle and the leaping cat large on the heel. The King sticks to soft leather with stitching outlining the panels, and the indoor version has a gum sole underneath instead of studs.

The suffixes tell the rest. Ultimate is the top-tier model, Pro and Match sit below it, and the letter code after the name indicates the playing surface. Other brands use the same system too: the full overview per brand is on the pages for the Nike football boots and the Adidas football boots.
