PUMA Men's Ultra 2.4 Fg/Ag Soccer Shoe

Product Information

To further reduce weight, Puma also included transparent cut-out windows in the upper, giving it that super speedy look. To ensure that you’re not faster than the ball in wet conditions, the upper has also been coated with a GripControl Pro skin upper to ensure the grippiest touch on the ball even in wet conditions. While I’m not the biggest fan of such a move, it’s an understandable one. When it comes to speed, one of the ways to make a boot feel “faster” or more lightweight, is to have the boot fit your foot more tightly, so it feels more one-to-one.

The Ultra’s also where PUMA employ their latest material tech, incorporating technologies such as MATRYXEVO and ULTRAWEAVE in the upper to give you the perfect combination of lightweight comfort, support, and durability. At a US9 size, the Puma Ultra 1.3 comes in at a stunning 159g which is a weight that can hardly be beaten by another mass produced football boot. A speedier and streamlined fit Like the New Balance Furon, could be an alternative to the likes of Nike Air Zoom Mercurials and adidas X Editor’s note: For those wondering about why it’s a women’s fit and a unisex fit. Part of the reason is that because most girls have grown up wearing men’s variant of football boots.With its fully re-engineered, lightweight ULTRAWEAVE upper, ULTRA takes its signature speed and acceleration to the next level. Antoine Griezmann comes to mind when it comes to the Ultras. He is not alone though as he is now joined by a cast of quality players like Kingsley Coman and Christian Pulisic. It’s also worth mentioning that the Puma Ultra has a dedicated women-sizing, and with the likes of Fridolina Rolfö on board, should not have any problems getting a following in women’s football. At the moment, you can get the Ultra in a Cage variant that is good for the harder synthetic pitch of indoor football. Pretty sure Puma will release a soft ground version soon. In case you didn’t know, Puma’s football boots are labelled as FG/AG, so by default it should be alright for the newer generation of artificial grass pitches at least.

We were huge fans of the Puma Ultra 1.1 and 1.2, because interestingly, Puma gave it a more voluminous fit, which made it friendly for wider footed players.

It should come as no surprise that the tighter fit means that there is some break-in time required when you first put on the Puma Ultra 1.3. Puma always had a reputation for pushing the boundaries of speed, culminating in their SL boots which infamously only lasted 10 games. The Puma Ultra 1.3, though is a much more balanced affair. It’s very light but does not compromise on touch and thinness nor sacrifice too much on the durability front. It goes without saying, of course, that the downside of this is that your technique has to be absolutely on point to control the ball well. We wouldn’t recommend getting stepped on either, as the almost paper thin upper is not going to offer much in the way of protection. The Puma Ultra has the same responsive toolingMATRYXPRO’s reactive yarns firm up to propel you forwards, while the microfibre cage keeps you stable when you change direction at pace – it’s a complete solution. Having said that, it would have been nice to have received a wide version of the Puma Ultra 1.3 to cater to a broaded customer base (pun unintended). Raw performance Last year, Puma rewrote the rules of the speed boot game with the Puma Ultra 1.1. For years, the speed boot market had reached a sort of détente, with the brands distancing themselves from defining their speed boots by weight, and instead focusing on being ‘light enough’ whilst not compromising on comfort. But all that changed in 2020, with Puma igniting a new arms race for the lightest speed boot title. Boots with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural, short-grass surfaces that are firm underfoot but may be slightly wet. Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort, and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot. FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn. FG boots are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction. Using FG boots on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
