    I mean, why bother with new or unique colours when you're throwing out 'updates' every 6 months =P

    Yeah it's way too much. We're due a crash IMO. Just like what happened with the sneaker industry

    New Futures are out this weekend while One gets a minor facelift ala Predator 19+ but no rubberised heel.

    It'll be interesting to see what happens if it crashes. I love Puma but hot dang does this 6 month refresh need to stop. I really haven't bought any boots by them in awhile simply because of how often it happens. Waiting for the Futures to really drop in price before trying em out. Especially the glory pack.

    I do like the look of the updated Future but you're right, six month refreshes are way too much

    What do you guys think about the update coming this year to the King? K leather and small sock. Not my King :)

    Because I dunno, they figure there's a part of the market they're not capturing?

    But those Kings, are not that great looking. It doesn't look like there's a lot of lockdown in the heel

    Totally agree. They look hideous in my opinion and it doesn't help that the three colorways are basically the same.

    I wonder if Puma makes any money??? I mean why would I pay 200 for a cleat that I ca find at a cheap discount 6 months later. Out of all brands, Puma seems to have the deepest discounts from retailers.

    They have the deepest discounts because they want to make sure retailers sell through stock. It's cheaper to give retailers markdown dollars than it is to return product

    on a side note, if anyone wants a little more thoughts on the Puma Future 19.1, here's my review of it!

    Main thoughts on the boot
    - Stiff upper that needs break in time
    - Boot is wide so if you've got a narrow foot you might be out of luck
    - definitely can't go laceless
    - if you've got a wide foot this boot is a god send because the customisable lacing system lets you lace it such that your foot doesn't feel pinched in anyway
    - shooting is nice? feels like a slightly less padded version of the Predator 18.1 for me.
    - collar is freaking awesome.

    Oh these look so so sexy. Unisport just did a review on them. It is practically full leather bar the heel. The puma one 1 is only leather in the toe box. These are 200 Euro’s and weight 185g. Not like weigh is important

    Hi guys,
    I have a quick question from someone...
    "Having never worn puma boots before, I just wanted to know the comparison between their sizing and Nike as I wear a 9, I just wanted to know if the sizing will remain the same?"
    Regarding Puma Capitano II boots
