New Puma King Platinum 21

In recent years, although they didn’t offer much support on the pitch, we had the Puma King Platinum – a truly brilliant model that gave a very modern feel to a ‘classic’ boot, so to speak. However, with the new Puma King Platinum 21, we’re returning somewhat to that more classic boot design, with thicker leather and impact reinforcements. A boot true to what made it great. These new boots from the German brand retain natural leather as the base for the entire forefoot, whilst opting for synthetic microfibre for the rear. A tried-and-tested method that never fails and works for all natural leather football boots.

The leather is slightly thicker than in the previous generation, so it will take longer to mould to your foot – something that will certainly appeal to those of you looking for a sturdier boot that offers greater protection. The tongue has also been redesigned and is no longer attached to the shell, but is now separate. It still uses Puma’s famous Evoknit, but in a slightly thicker version, in keeping with the overall design of the boot. As for the ‘rib’ inserts, we have the well-known foam, which helps provide a bit more grip on the ball and extra cushioning when striking. It’s not as aggressive as in other models, but you do notice it, particularly when passing with the inside of the foot.
