Earlier this year Puma released a new model of boot, the Puma Powercat. Replacing the V-Konstrukt series of boots this model has found favour with a number of Premier League players who value a leather made boot such as England player Michael Carrick and Chelsea star Nicolas Anelka.
With the name Powercat, Puma are clearly targetting this boot in the “power” category, a difficult market given the current favourites are big hitters in the Adidas Predator X and the Nike Total90. However, if neither of those books do it for you then maybe the Puma Powercat is the one for you.
The power in this boot comes from the PowerGil Technology area, which is located on the top of the boot, exactly where you strike the ball when trying to give it your all! This technology essentially works by not absorbing the energy normally felt between boot and ball, but what it really equates to is that when you strike the ball, all of your energy will go into the ball and therefore your shots will be unstoppable!
The Powercar is made from K-leather and, as you would expect with this material, excellent touch and control is assured. An off center lace also help gives a clean striking area on the top of the boot so if you mis-hit the ball you won’t be able to blame the boot!
A number of colourways are already available and there should be something to suit everyone. The launch colourway was predominantly black, with a highlight of lime, which looked quite understated but still nice. That was then followed up by a white pair with blue highlighting, currently the pick of the colourways in our opinion. Puma then released a World Cup edition, one which won’t appeal to all – orange and black! The most recent colourway realeased is a black boot, with a red heal and highlighting, with a silver ‘Puma’ logo. This colourway looks pretty good, and would suit someone who plays in a red kit!
There are currently some very good deals on some of these colourways so if you like a classic k-leather boot feel that gives you the best chance of striking the ball hard or true then give the Puma Powercat a go!
