The Puma King Boot has been an iconic part of
the Puma Collection – the first King boots were made in 1968 as part of a
tribute to Eusébio da Silva Ferreira, commonly known as Eusébio. He won the
1966 FIFA Golden Boot award scoring nine goals during the tournament. Eusébio
worked with Puma to develop a signature football boot which debuted two years
later. The Puma football boot featured soft leather with increased ankle
protection and excellent ball control. The Puma King Boot has been worn by
several other notable players such as Pele of Brazil and Maradona of Argentina
– it was worn by legends and became a legend itself.
In 2008, Puma celebrated the 40th
birthday of the launch of the King Boot – and made a special anniversary
limited edition football boot called King XL. Puma continued to release newer
versions of the King range celebrating great soccer legends such as the
Italian, Vittorio Pozza (Puma King XL Italia) and Diego Maradona (Puma King
Diego Finale football boot). This edition was released to commemorate the 50th
birthday of Maradona and was created in the colours of the Argentina National
football team.
The latest in Puma’s range of legendary
football boots is the King Finale. This boot was inspired by Puma’s 1986 Mexico
Finale football boot, but has all the latest improvements with technology and
innovation to suit today’s game demands. The King Finale has an upper made from
premium ultra soft K leather, which makes the boot more flexible than the King
XL. The King Finale has a fold over tongue that is kept in place by a hook and
loop fastener, providing a cleaner kicking area and an improved pressure
distribution surface. The Finale football boot also features a vamp toe area
that gives players total control over the ball. It is engineered from high
density silicon, which provides the heel counter with more protection and
stability. With increased cushioning under the heel, this improves shock
absorption for enhanced comfort. The King Finale also uses Puma AptoLast
technology, which conforms to the natural contours of the foot for a snug fit.
Puma King football boots

legendary reputation. These boots have been worn by some of the best
footballers the world has ever seen. Visit “Lovell Soccer” to find the Puma King football boots collection.
