One for the lower leagues, as PUMA rolls out its customary bi-annual Eclipse pack, draining its line-up of colour. So for this early 2023 iteration, that’s the Future Ultimate and the Ultra Ultimate, presented in understated suits of shadow.
The appeal for blackout boots will always be there, and the brands are well aware of this fact. To tailor for this demand, they always offer up a blacked out version of their latest boots, ensuring that all the innovation of the in-line packs is available, just in a stealthy look that will slip under the radar in your latest Sunday league match. With this in mind, PUMA release the latest version of the Eclipse Pack, which features the Future Ultimate and the Ultra Ultimate dressed heel to toe in black.
First up, the new Future Ultimate implements a radical new redesign engineered for ultimate agility. It features an innovative FUZIONFIT360 dual mesh upper and integrates PUMA exclusive PWRTAPE technology to enhance support for a space-age adaptive fit.
The Future Ultimate also features engineered 3D textures placed in key contact zones to enhance ball grip and control when passing, dribbling, and finishing. Another new upgrade is an all-new plate that includes a split composition designed for ultimate traction and stability. Paired with a lightweight Nano Grip sockliner insole, the technology minimises foot slippage inside the boot, allowing you to maintain power transfer for explosive movements.
For the Ultra Ultimate, the upper is constructed from PUMA’s innovative and lightweight ULTRAWEAVE technology, the brand’s lightest, highest-performance material ever developed – the same material that is used for the brand’s primary jerseys. PWRPRINT in the upper then offers micro level stability, enhanced ball contact and durability.
Don't expect to see any pro players lacing up in either of these boots (unless their contract is soon to expire, that is), these are for the grassroots game.
