Redesigned for a whole new generation with an even softer and more comfortable ultra-thin K- leather upper for enhanced ball feel and worn by Everton’s Mikel Arteta, the new Puma King Finale is crowned.

Designed to provide a cleaner kicking area, the new Puma King Finale tongue improves pressure distribution upon impact with the ball.

Constructed from a thinner, softer K- leather, the tongue is secured firmly in place courtesy of an integrated velcro fastening.

Reinforced tight-row vamp stitching on the King Finale helps avoid excessive stretching of the K-leather for improved longevity and better overall shape retention.

Engineered from a high-density silicon, the new heel counter provides more protection and stability while the soft leather heel tap increases comfort and reduces pressure on the achilles tendon.

Increased cushioning under the heel, via a memory foam insert in the anatomically shaped sockliner, improves shock absorption, working in unison with the redesigned heel counter for enhanced comfort.

The King Finale utilizes the Puma AptoLast which conforms to the natural contours of the foot for a superb, snug fit.

A lightweight high performance thermoplastic elastomer injected outsole with conical moulded stud configuration ensures optimal stability, pressure distribution and maneuverability on firm natural surfaces.
