PUMA PowerCat 1.10 Tokyo Soccer Boots

Sportswear giant PUMA has released a new colorway of the popular PowerCat 1.10 (or PWR-C 1.10) soccer boots . The innovative boot is inspired by the style, popular culture and bright lights of Tokyo, Japan. Fittingly, the boot also incorporates some of the latest soccer boot technology that has seen the likes of Republic of Ireland and Manchester City goalkeeper Shay Given and England and Manchester City midfielder Michael Carrick favoring the PWR-C 1.10 in recent times.

According to PUMA:

The PowerCat 1.10 Tokyo is the perfect combination of engineering and comfort in a striking design. The injected PUMA 3D Power Shooting Technology (PUMA 3D PST), the fresh Cat branding, and the super soft and thin premium microfiber make the PowerCat 1.10 Graphic the boot of choice for true football players who want stand out on the pitch. 

The PUMA PowerLast and the stable yet flexible outsole create a snug and comfortable fit whilst the dual density external heel counter provides protection against outer forces.

The PowerCat 1.10 uses PUMA 3D Power Shooting Technology which delivers unique rebound properties. The Springtech foam in the shark-like gills on the side of the boot are engineered to enhance every shot by putting extra power behind the ball as it catapults off the shoe. This means the boot intentionally does not absorb the typical amount of energy upon impact with the ball, allowing more power to be released with every shot.

The kicking area is made of a soft, thin leather and a synthetic microfiber around the quarter area, keeping the boot lightweight and easy to perform in. The bladed studs are configured to ensure smooth ground penetration and pressure distribution as well as maximum traction and maneuverability.

PUMA PWR-C 1.10 FG Soccer Boots in Black/White/Wild Lime

History in the making

We are proud to welcome the Power Cat

The

PUMA PWR-C 1.10 Firm Ground Soccer Boots in Black/White/Wild Lime

arrived at our lair a few days ago, and it was a truly monumental experience for us. Being that we're in the biz of providing the best gear in WORLD SOCCER, we're pretty stoked, psyched and all around giddy over our newest feline friend.

PUMA is going heavy on power, hence the newest line of PWR-C products already here and forthcoming.

Power.10 Football Boots

The new PowerCat 1.10 statement boot heads up PUMA's new Power concept silo, replacing Protection and v-Konstrukt. The primary benefit and design feature of the PowerCat is the new ‘PowerGil Technology.’ Inspired by the ruthless attitude of the white shark, this feature enhances your kicking power by putting extra power behind the ball as it is released. The material mix on the upper – using a combination of soft thin kangaroo leather in the vamp with synthetic microfiber around the heel area – keeps the weight down to boost control and touch as well as deliver a very comfortable product for the top level player.

In addition to the major technical benefits, the PowerCat also represents a major PUMA Football milestone as it is the first strategic football footwear introduction since 1958 not carrying the trademark PUMA Formstrip. The PowerCat uses PUMA Cat branding on the medial and lateral side. PUMA ran several camera tests in stadiums in the last six months to ensure that this product delivers on both shelf appeal and on-pitch visibility.
