Speed meets science in the Ultra 5 Carbon Speed Edition, where the latest tech features come together with graphics taken from blueprints and data sheets for what is a seriously limited edition drop.
While the all-new Future 8 may have been hogging a bit of the PUMA spotlight recently, the Ultra 5 arrives with a timely reminder of its presence, dropping in its Carbon version for a limited edition drop that’s all about speed. This is achieved by the innovative tech features of the boot being combined with aesthetics inspired by blueprints and circuit boards, presented in a "Vivid Blue/Heat Fire/Bright Aqua/Puma" colourway.
So, the graphics you can see, but under the bonnet of the Ultra 5 Speed Edition is a carbon-fibre soleplate – the same material used on Mercedes F1 cars. It’s the toughest, lightest, most aerodynamic material available, and here it makes its triumphant return to football, having been seen before on boots in the past, before the pursuit was abandoned due to the sheer cost of the material.
That soleplate then features PUMA’s Fasttrax stud design, which uses insights from academic research and traction studies to provide more traction while accelerating, braking and cutting. And the innovations don’t just stop with the flashy soleplate – The Ultra 5 also boasts a PWRTAPE SQD support frame, which stabilises the foot inside of the boot without hindering agility and freedom of movements, while a lightweight removable sockliner with Nano Grip technology and Ortholite heel cushioning is present for better lockdown.
