Slipping it's heels straight from the international scene and back into the forthcoming season, PUMA has launched a sun kissed instalment of the evoPOWER 1.3. "Striking Orange" with a refreshing zest, it's a thirst quencher.

Laced up by the likes of Oliver Giroud, Mario Balotelli and Yaya Touré, PUMA's latest colourway is one that catches the attention. The evoPOWER 1.3 is PUMA’s third generation of the brand’s successful power silo that first debuted in 2014, designed to land the most powerful punch whilst harnessing an accurate finish. Aesthetically, the "Shocking Orange" stretches from the forefront of the boot and ascends into a solid black with mesh graphic serving as the transition between the two. Shades of flavour and fire on the feet, these are head turners.

The ethos echoed with comfort at it's core, the values that underline the evoPOWER are embodied with barefoot kicking. Engineered to enhance what the body does naturally, PUMA has further developed this concept with the evoPOWER 1.3, providing even more flexibility through the outsole, which leads to more kicking power.

The delivery designed in the detail, PUMA looked at the mechanics of barefoot kicking when looking at the outsole and translated this into the boot by using a one way stretchable Adap-Lite upper. This allows the foot to bend, mimicking the barefoot kicking motion. This evolution of the boot has improved configuration of bladed and conical studs, allowing for more manoeuvrability and giving extra stability in the midfoot for the standing leg when kicking. An increased amount of AccuFoam in the upper provides a smoother and cleaner kicking surface for more precision when kicking the ball. This combined with the GripTex, a PUMA technology applied to the upper of the boot, helps create enhanced ball control.
