German sportswear firm Puma launches vegan leather football boot




German sports company Puma has unveiled its first ever Puma King football boot made from animal-free materials: The King Platinum 21 Vegan. The future-conscious new boot featuring 100 per cent vegan leather and 100 per cent vegan knitted yarns, retains the King signature style and integrates the KINGForm technology for increased responsiveness.

A lightweight PEBA soleplate is built around a stability spine to provide optimal traction and support for dynamic movements without the use of any animal-based adhesives, with all prints on the boot utilising only vegan pigments, the company said in a media release.

The King Vegan incorporates KomfortSystem for comfort with soft anatomical padding for heel lockdown and optimised fit. Additionally, the King Platinum 21 Vegan features multi-directional conical studs for enhanced agility and a moulded sock liner with NanoGrip technology to ensure superior energy transmission, cushioning and anti-slip properties.

“The King Platinum 21 Vegan is an exciting milestone for Puma as we utilise vegan friendly materials and offer an alternative to animal-based leather products,” said Florian Nemetz, senior product line manager Teamsport Footwear. “We will continue to use vegan materials in future products as we aim to offer an alternative to traditional leather products. The boot maintains all the key benefits and performance properties of the King, but utilises a special new vegan upper material, which provides fantastic touch properties, comfort and class synonymous with the Puma King.”

The Puma King Platinum 21 Vegan in ivory glow, green glare and Puma black is now available at Puma’s stores and online channel, and select retailers worldwide.
