Awaken your inner animal with FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct

Global sports brand PUMA today launched the animal kingdom-inspired FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct. The new generation of the FUTURE has evolved from its predecessor with a new unique look inspired by one of the best footballers of today – Neymar Jr.

The new FUTURE Z is designed for maximum agility. The new technologically advanced boot will activate your animalistic football instincts and take your game to the next level. It completely adapts to the shape of your foot thanks to high-quality compression technologies and, combined with the lightweight Nano Grip sockliner insole, minimizes foot slippage inside the boot.

The FUTURE Z 1.3 features all-new Advanced Creator Zones designed to improve ball grip and provide softness in the forefoot, which is key when dribbling, passing and finishing.

Mesh material in the forefoot provides better contact between the foot and the ball during play. The centre of the boot provides maximum softness, while the 3D print on the side improves ball control.

“The new FUTURE Z cleats take my game to the highest level,” says Neymar Jr. “The boots are like a second skin for me, I feel very comfortable in them. At the same time, they are lightweight, which allows me to change direction at the highest possible speed without any problems. I play without limitations, which is essential for me,” he adds.

Even the cutting-edge FUZIONFIT+ technology has been improved. The specially formulated knitted material made of polyester and spandex yarns ensures optimal fixation and allows the player to play with or without laces.

“The best feature of the new shoe is undoubtedly the evolution of the FUZIONFIT+ system,” states Florian Nemetz, Senior Product Line Manager of Teamsport Footwear.

“Feedback from players and customers has helped us to further develop this technology and improve the ability of players to perform a wide range of movements. Another new feature this year is Advanced Creator Zones, which provide increased grip and softness in the forefoot, which was another key player insight. Players will gain better control but at the same time not lose agility and dynamics,” he concludes.

The model incorporates the Dynamic Motion System outsole from the previous series. The super-lightweight PEBA system with an eye-catching Z-shaped outsole reduces weight and provides a solid foundation for acceleration, explosive movements and maintaining traction.

The FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct edition will be worn by Neymar Jr, Dzsenifer Marozsán, James Maddison, Luis Suárez and Eugénie Le Sommer.

The PUMA FUTURE Z 1.3 Instinct edition and dark FUTURE Z 1.3 Eclipse edition soccer cleats will be available throughout March at Sportfotball, Lionsport, 11 Teamsport and Puma Concept Stores in Palladio and online at www.puma.com. From May onwards at A3 Sport and Sportisimo stores.
