PUMA King 10 Diego Finale IFG

When you think of iconic football boots, the PUMA King is a brand which springs immediately to mind. Slick and smart, PUMA's design spans the ages and is a classic which has withstood the test of time. Their latest offering looks as fresh and smart as it did way back in 1968 when the King first hit the shelves. The new generation is no ordinary boot though. This is a boot which pays homage to arguably the greatest footballer ever to lace up a pair of boots - one Diego Armando Maradona. The mercurial Argentine wore PUMA boots throughout a distinguished career which saw him break the world transfer record twice, lead Napoli through the most successful period in the club's history and captain his country to World Cup glory in 1986. It only seems right that such an icon should be honoured, on his 50th birthday, and you now have the opportunity to look like a Maradona clone, even if you don't play like one. The PUMA King 10 Diego Finale IFG embraces the best in modern boot expertise to create an item of footwear which is good to look at and delivers where it matters most, out on the pitch. It combines the traditional features of a fold over tongue and central lacing with innovative technologies such as anatomically shaped Aptolast. The PUMA Aptolast closely follows the foot's natural shape and provides a glove-like fit that allows the upper to mould perfectly to the player's foot. The boot is also made from premium kangaroo leather, or k-leather, which further enhances comfort and performance, but does not improve spring for all those cracking their own jokes. Finally, the outsole is made from a lightweight high-performance thermoplastic elastomeric material which helps to keep the weight of the boot down. All very technical, I know, so just take it from us that this boot is light, comfortable and perfect if you are looking to stand out from the crowd - just like Maradona.
