Soccer Equipment Reviews

After all the talk of the Superfly and the media craze spotlighted on the Nike cleats, Puma soon responded with lightweight cleats of their own…

Puma have struggled recently trying to stay with the top brands in the soccer market, and after the Superfly’s debut, all hope seemed lost, until they teamed up with the biggest name in motorsport to create the ultimate lightweight soccer cleat. After collaborating with Ferrari for two years, the two sides broke barriers by creating the lightest soccer cleat ever, a few grams lighter than the Nike Mercurial Superfly! Here’s the info on the Puma Ferrari v1.815

Chassis

The lightweight Pebax® frame constitutes the outsole base and houses a carbon fiber composite insert that enhances speed and stability. The transparent outsole offers a unique look at the boot’s engineering, while the forefoot stud configuration ensures smooth ground penetration, as well as optimal traction and maneuverability.

Upper

The upper’s lightweight textile material is highly abrasion-resistant. It has been treated with a dirt and water repellent coating to ensure an unprecedented ball touch.

Heel Counter

The minimalist external heel counter provides protection from external forces and supports the heel and ankle during sudden direction changes. The rear stud configuration is designed and positioned to support natural running movement.

Lacing

The heat cut around the eyestay provides additional flexibility and softness, enabling the shoe to be tied around the foot like a glove. The off-centered lacing increases the kicking area, improving pressure distribution and reducing force from ball impact.

Aptolast

The Puma AptoLast sets ergonomic and aesthetic benchmarks for soccer footwear. It conforms to the foot’s natural curvatures and provides a glove-like fit that allows the upper to perfectly mold to the player’s foot.
