This is a boot that sits as one of my favorite all-time performers, as Puma got the balance between speed and control just right. Well, that is for a wingers specifications anyway! The boot looked super classy in a badass, true to form, Ducati Red. Weighing in at 6.4oz, they allowed players a unique opportunity to own a superlightweight Puma release with an iconic, not to be replicated look. As you would expect, this release didn’t sell out anywhere near as fast as most of the Adidas/Nike boots featured on this list, but they certainly left an impression on the players that had the opportunity to test them.
