PUMA Men's Future Z 2.3 Fg/Ag Soccer Shoe

Product Information

For those looking to be a ball hog like Neymar, the grippy textures across the boot do help you a little in keeping the ball close to your foot. Keeping in step with their other models, Puma has implemented an FG/AG sole plate on the Future Z 1. With an improved design, top notch performance and a new star in Neymar promoting the boots, I’m sure the Puma Future Z will be a commercial success as much as it is a critical one. The compression bands held my feet firm and pivoting around in the Z soleplate is effortless, even on artificial ground (AG).

Much of my movement is economical but it requires me to go from 0-100 in a fraction of a second to sprint into space to receive the ball when the sliver of opportunity arises.FUTURE is the first football boot with a truly customizable fit that every football player will appreciate. Puma claims that “the band was developed using a special combination of polyester and spandex yarns, along with special technical yarns to create the perfect balance of compression, comfort and durability, giving the wearer that second-skin feeling.

Advanced Creator Zones positioned at the forefoot deliver exceptional ball control and touch at high speeds, while a lightweight and supremely reactive outsole with studs suitable for firm and artificial ground provides superior traction. While both boots share some similarities, the Puma Future primarily focuses on control, touch, and power on the pitch. It’s not a deal breaker but I’d like the TPU coating to be thinner and to have a little more knitted material on that upper to provide a more luxurious touch on the Puma Future Z.

Its very easy to get caught up in all of the hype around the latest soccer equipment, but we're here to point you in the right direction. I still feel it was a missed opportunity to not include a little more knit to provide that X-factor when it comes to the touch. On the other hand, the Puma Ultra is exclusively a speed boot, distinguished by its lightweight design and performance-enhancing features, such as an ULTRAWEAVE upper and agility SPEEDPLATE. The “Z” from the name of the boot comes from the Z-shaped soleplate which is meant to flex laterally and diagonally when a player experiences a change in direction with his runs or dribbles.
