Why Older Players Stick to Old Football Boots

0

Wouldn’t they want to wear the latest boots available?

Puma Glory Pack

0

Because all that glitters is (rose) gold.

Puma is rounding up the new year with easily the most elegant colourway drop of 2018. Keeping if festive and classy, the limited edition Puma Glory Pack comes in a scintillating rose gold and black colourway that which deserves a place on the shelves – encased in clear glass.

Would you wear this to your game? Or does this pack belong in a trophy case?

Puma Future 2.1

Created for the agile attacker with flair, the Puma Future from the Glory Pack oozes class. The matte black finish on the forefoot is accentuated nicely with rose gold gloss as the eye traces its way towards the heel counter. The rose gold accents on the laces are also a brilliant touch to one of the most beautiful boots in the market.

The money shot is that gold plated soleplate which looks too good to be in contact with the ground. We reckon many would be keeping this on display instead of taking this to their weekend game.

Puma One 1

If it’s more rose gold that you want, the Puma One is your best friend. The soft upper is drenched in rose gold that will help you stand out no matter where you’re positioned on the pitch. The knitted sock and lace area features a heather effect to combine the gold accents with the black/dark grey base

The external heel counter is dressed with a wearable gold plated finish which transitions into a fully glossed out soleplate. Another one for the display case.
