Puma is following in the footsteps of adidas. Last October, the brand with the three stripes had the good idea to launch the first pair of vegan crampons, presented in particular by Paul Pogba. The German firm was quick to follow and adopt this revolutionary novelty in the world of football. It has just unveiled this Friday the King Platinium 21 Vegan.

This very latest model from Puma is indeed manufactured “entirely from materials free of materials of animal origin”, as explained in the brand’s press release for the occasion. This in no way detracts from the softness of the leather of this King Platinium 21 Vegan, which offers pleasant comfort, but also an interesting touch and remarkable responsiveness to its user, in particular thanks to the KINGForm technology.
A clean style
Always in the quest for optimal comfort, soft anatomical padding maintaining the heel and optimizing the fit makes up this latest creation from Neymar Jr.’s equipment supplier. The Brazilian star of PSG would also appreciate these studs since they have of “multidirectional conical lugs for improved agility and a molded insole covering with NanoGrip technology that provides high level energy transmission, cushioning and anti-slip properties”as Puma mentions.
The design of this pair remains relatively simple and refined. In a dominant white, it also has a touch of black, represented by a horizontal pattern, as well as fluorescent yellow, present at the level of the lower part. Puma also specifies that “All shoe prints use only vegan pigments. »
Vegan materials will continue
Puma also indicated, via the word of Florian Nemetz, Senior Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear, that this pair marked the beginning of a new era. “We will continue to use vegan materials in our future products as we want to offer an alternative to traditional leather products. The shoe retains all of the key benefits and performance properties of the KING, but uses a new super high quality vegan material that offers a fantastic feel without compromising on the comfort and class that characterizes the PUMA KING. »
