The race has switched circuits. PUMA and Pro:Direct are back on the grid with the next instalment of the Ultra ‘Racetrack’ series, this time takin the throttle to São Paulo. After pitstops in Mexico, Japan, and Miami, the latest drop celebrates the raw rhythm, colour, and chaos of Brazil’s motorsport capital. A city where energy never hits the brakes.
This latest Ultra is a visual rush. Every inch of it is wired with the city’s pulse. The upper bursts with a chaos of colour, yellow, blues, greens, and whites, in traditional Brazil fashion. Inspiration has been drawn from all over the city, from the traditional São Paulo flag to the unique patterns that fill the pavements. The woven-style print dances across the boot in a rhythm that feels alive, like asphalt and samba colliding at full speed.
Running through the design is a bold graphic honouring the Octávio Frias de Oliveira Bridge, the city’s unmistakeable skyline landmark, bringing even more identity to the piece. The F1 details are stronger than ever, with the PUMA formstrip acting as a backdrop for a Autódromo José Carlos Pace track graphic that races around the boot. Other finer details include the number 305.879, which nods to the length of the full track, whilst ‘71’ marks the number of laps taken within the race.
And who could forget, the soleplate. Every single one of these Racetrack drops have seen some beautiful soleplates, and this is no different. PUMA’s innovative speed technology meets a truly beautiful chrome finish, fusing performance and aesthetics in the most rewarding way possible. I mean, just look at it.
Underneath the bonnet though, this is still pure Ultra DNA. Lightweight, rapid, and ruthless in motion. This boot bridges the world of football and F1 with ease, built for those players who move like racers. Pro:Direct and PUMA are keeping the pedal all the way down with this one. The thrill of the circuit has met the intensity of the beautiful game once again.
