Football Boots > Puma v1.10 SL Football Boots - White/Puma Royal

The crown of lightest boot on the market has been removed from the adiZero, and firmly placed on the head of the brand new Puma v1.10 SL football boots! Weighing in at an incredible 150 grams, SoccerBible have received the world's lightest ever football boot to exclusively share with our fans...

 



You may think the v1.10 SL have a familiar look about them - and you'd be right. Taking the highly limited concept boot - the Puma v1.815 Ferrari - as a starting point, this new model now comes to the masses as the speed boot category gets ever lighter.

 

A lot of people forget that the v1.815 Ferrari dropped in at 165g - which has been easily matched by the adiZero. But as that was just a concept boot, it fell to the production adizero to take take the title.

 

So Puma, obviously the competitive types, returned with the v1.10 SL (Super Light), a stripped down and... err.. super-light version of their performance v1 speed series.





Puma are redefining lightweight footwear with the Puma v1.10 SL football boots, a boot which to be honest wouldn't look out of place on the running track, but then Puma are the proud suppliers to the fastest man on the planet Usain Bolt, so they know a thing or two about speed!

 

Despite our pair from Puma weighing in a fraction above the quoted 150 gram mark, the Puma boffins assured us the final production SL will have shaved these extra grammes off for retail.






At the moment information on the Puma v1.10 SL soccer shoes is limited, but we've gleaned all the informantion we can out of Puma to share with the SoccerBible community. What we do know though is that the Puma SL is a truly awesome football boot, and if you don't believe us feast your eyes upon our exclusive pictures.





The Puma v1.10 SL upper is made from a superlight micorfibre synthetic material, which is extremely soft for comfort and ball feel. Despite being soft, the material is highly abrasion resistant to improve the boot's longevity and durability.





A central lacing system enhances comfort and wearability, and is finished off with a lightweight tongue, constructed to provide breathability.






The Pebax outsole, distinctive in it's Puma Royal colour, delivers stability and durability as it is bonded to the upper. An external heel counter, is also shaped and bonded to further enhance stability and support.





There's a Carbon Fibre insert in the Puma v1.10 SL football boots outsole, enhancing player movement through reactivity, flexibilty and midfoot stability.





The Puma v1.10 SL football boots are officially the lightest football boots on the market, and are certainly going to cause a lot of debate.  The Puma SL's are due to be released on the 12th July and will cost around £185 GBP / $275 USD.

 

So now you've seen them, lets hear YOUR opinions on the latest innovative lightweight football boot to hit the market...

tonyroy69 said:

nice in terms of weight, but terrible in terms of looks. I prefer the adizero, plus MY PERSONAL OPINION is that adidas is a much more reliable brand, so I have a feeling that there must be a drawback to this...

F50myster said:

they would be better if they were shaped like the regular v1.10 not like these! they look like running shoes or something!!! lol btw i kinda like them not really but their okay

I think that they are a very competitive boot, and will have Adidas and Nike thinking a little. Nice in my opinion.

robinluis said:

@Nidas, what kinda **** you chatting? obviously not stupid because players need speed and they're the lightest boots around. effortless, i dont even know what thats supposed to mean but clearly alot of effort has been put into these boots to make them to the standard they are.

overall, i think these are quality boots, and they havent had to remove bits of the boot like they have off the adizero's to make it lighter. i think this is a quality effort, however im not too keen on the shape of them, and ive had a pair of puma boots before, as have alot of my mates, and all of our boots have split fairly easily. thats my only concern.

it doesn´t interest if a boot weight 165g or 180g

my laser are around 325g and they are very very good

July 11, 2010 10:00 AM
 

devize said:

looks like a cheap version of the  Puma v1.815 Ferrari. They don't look like a speed boot like the adizero or superfly do. Will be interesting to see the reviews

July 11, 2010 10:02 AM
 

coolwat3r said:

Great job of puma coming out with a boot leighter than the adizero, but both adizero and this puma Sl aren't really what i'd wear, nike Superfly's are much better, even though they weigh a little more. Superfly's are prob the best boots on the market atm, because of the leightweight, feeling, form and you can really strike the ball well with them.

July 11, 2010 10:06 AM
 

Raffer said:

Its impressive by puma, that they've made such a light boot. The shape of puma boots, dont fit on me,  so ill stick to my adizero. But no doubt, this seems like a competive boot.

July 11, 2010 10:30 AM
 

chris__4 said:

if puma is so good why didnt they do this before the adizeros came out. they obviously made this really quick and really cheaply because their beloved v1.10 were getting absolutely own by the adizeros

July 11, 2010 10:34 AM
 

Constan 22 said:

I have these, got them for a lot cheaper than what they will be retailing for and I can tell you that these are retardedly light. They offer a good touch and shot also plus they're really comfortable. They are really well made, definitely not a cheap boot.

puma not starting the development for this boot after the adizero release.

Look at this pictures where you can see a test model, which is testing at the bavarian liga. It was at the 21.11.2009.

I thinck this coulorway look really nice.

WOW CRAZY!!! hahaha pity Puma missed out on the WC.....oh well, they look none too shabby, and lighter than adi0, that's already started a flame war here hahaha.....

But anyways I'll stick with true leather boots, can't be those for comfort and durability!!!!

MIZUNO WAVE IGNITUS FTW, 235g POwer boot hell yeah!!!

adizero's still win, based on price:quality ratio, these boots are only 15 grams lighter but cost ÂŁ60 more

Destroy looks for speed!!! That is what I think about it. Too light=bad. Adizero is just the right weight but this.....

der ok adizeros and elites are wayy better though

July 11, 2010 2:01 PM
 

goalkeeper1 said:

I think they are nice boots. A good effort by puma and I think that if they had a nike check on them and not a puma you "critics" would be raving about them. I'm a bit let down by the price though.

adidas are gna be releasing a boot weighing 140g i heard, and these dont look very nice either

July 11, 2010 3:51 PM
 

zjw45747 said:

Personally I feel Puma have always developed the best speed boots, hell the Puma V1.06 was probably the lightest boot in the field for about 5 years, and is probably still lighter than many boots on the market today, thus players wearing them still today

July 11, 2010 3:53 PM
 

pcm19 said:

TERRIBLE:

1) they are ridiculously overpriced for a piece of plastic

2) they probably wont last for over 5 matches (the ferrari said in fine print that they were only tested for 6 matches)

3) they look sloppy and cheap

adizero is better its 5.8 and puma is 5.3 whats the difference

if you look at the bottom it looks as if its really tight so its effortless

and I take back the word stupid in the coment

@tata14 and robinluis

syklaassen17 said:

these are sooo ugly

July 11, 2010 5:33 PM
 

Nidas said:

and the think that makes it lighter is the mesh under the laces.

July 11, 2010 5:39 PM
 

JG10 said:

In my opinion AdiZero's are way better . @Noname133  I totally agree wit you. and @ JH9 How did you find out that Adidas are going to release boots that are 140 grams? These boots look like it would take a long to break into them

July 11, 2010 5:44 PM
 

RealMadridfan07 said:

@Robinluis Puma removed everything from the v1.10.  They took off the thermorplastic side the plastic blue lining is fake on these and the heel looks crappy.  I love the v1.10. But light boots don't make you better get that through your head.  I saw a kid with lasers outrun a kid with superflys and the kid with superflys had a 12 yard start.

July 11, 2010 5:50 PM
 

Psycha said:

They look great, specially the colors I love it but looks like the boot is about to breack and that its cheap plastic.

July 11, 2010 5:51 PM
 

robinluis said:

@RealMadridfan07 - i never said these boots make you better. you could pull on a cheap tacky pair of ÂŁ10 boots from a supermarket and still see a kid run faster than another in superflys. im talking about professionals will find them better, because as nike claimed in their elite series, a lighter boot takes less effort to run in for 90 minutes, therefore allowing them to perform better for longer.

July 11, 2010 6:07 PM
 

jgerhard said:

too bad they don't have any good players. and they won't sell any. really, they are hardly even a company anymore

Totaaly agree wit robinluis nd patito10... i dnt no how some of you dont like these...these are class boots love them and btw steven4vapor will hate these LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

DJ SUPADAN said:

adizeros still trumps these and any other boots out there!! and for who said puma didnt cut corners to make it lighter, the heel area is gutted and the soleplate looks thin and flimsy. plan on buying extra pairs - these will seperate.

July 11, 2010 7:16 PM
 

RealMadridfan07 said:

Yea and it doesn't. They only do this so that people will buy the boots.  If they are professional players they wouldn't even need good boots to play. This isn't directed towards you Robinluis, but carbon fiber isn't as supportive as people think it is.  My rents worked with carbon fiber for 2 years and its strong and stable when its in form of something but it wasn't made to be a flat surface that bends alot.

July 11, 2010 7:42 PM
 

MCKER11 said:

the biggest waste of money ever! probably the most un-durable boot around and extreamly expensive

July 11, 2010 7:46 PM
 

robinluis said:

@D keeper.. love that comment. maybe he's conceded defeat ;) but hes probably playing in the world cup final right now :/

and @DJ SUPADAN - the soleplate is carbon fibre buddy, have fun trying to break that.

July 11, 2010 7:46 PM
 

robinluis said:

and just as a general comment, does anybody know how much the nike carbon fibres weighed? cos shouldn't they be really light?

July 11, 2010 7:48 PM
 

ivan el rayado said:

I would rather get adizero cuz these are a bit pricey and look funny

July 11, 2010 8:19 PM
 

Blue nose 123 said:

At the front these almost look like theyre badly put together.  This may be sorted out by the time they come out though.

July 11, 2010 8:53 PM
 

Blue nose 123 said:

I think boots will end up being like a layer of under armour and weighing 10 grams.  But that doesnt make them good, why is it all about lightweight.

July 11, 2010 9:00 PM
 

The Midday Beast said:

As I said with the puma v.185's Nike spend years and lots of money on a boot were as puma seemingly effortlessly rip Nike to shreads with making a cheaper and what more people will think, better boot

just wait thbe adizero prime are coming out and they are so sick they are like 2.0 ounces im hearing

Axel Webb said:

I don't understand this war between the lighter soccer shoe, in my opinion 15 or 20 grs don't make any difference, the most important is the comfort and ball feel.

July 11, 2010 10:56 PM
 

Axel Webb said:

@robinluis.. the Nike Mercurial Vapor SL was between 190-195 grs..

July 11, 2010 11:03 PM
 

matt29 said:

@jgerhard you said puma is hardly even a company... thats the stupidest thing i have ever heard anyone say... I just made this account to address that opinion. Puma is a striving and great company... you are only looking at people who wear puma football boots and no there arent as many as adidas or nike. Puma have so many different markets they are in and the company is worth at least 5.3 billion euros. puma is a company no doubt.

And as for you people that say this boot looks like a reebok... well reebok's parent company is in fact adidas so if adidas thought reebok was making bad boots they would think puma was making bad boots. but adidas havent said anything bad to reebok likewise to puma.

so very true matt29

July 12, 2010 1:08 AM
 

jgerhard said:

haha hey matt, chill out.

but think this through. sure they have a name and assests and money, but they are not innovators and they have nothing to offer the market. in the last 6 years they made one decent shoe, the 1.06. it actually used unique materials and geometry.

it's not like i am in love with adidas or nike, and i'm just bashing the little guys. to be fair my favorite mark has always been diadora. my point is only that puma are spilling coin on the featherweight game when they are never going to win anyways.

July 12, 2010 1:13 AM
 

nakamura10 said:

Puma have made more decent boots than the v1.06.

July 12, 2010 1:42 AM
 

kfrix23 said:

when superfly was the lightest boot, it was the best, even if it was so expensive and was causing blisters ( at least older versions of vapors)

when adizero was the lightest boot, it was the best. thankfully it is a lot cheaper !

now that puma 1.10 SL is the lightest, it is ugly and a cheap piece of plastic :)

someone even said that adizeros have the right weight and the puma SL is too light. . . The difference is about 0.5 oz. I doubt that anyone can actually feel it.

Football boots are about personal preference. Don't be so biased, its not "black and white" !

We should want strong competition among the different brands because we will benefit from that. Better boots and hopefully lower prices.

chris__4  said:

if puma is so good why didnt they do this before the adizeros came out. they obviously made this really quick and really cheaply because their beloved v1.10 were getting absolutely own by the adizeros

Dear Chris, just because they had a bad timing and they did not release the shoe before the WC, it doesn't mean that the shoe is not good :) . Also, maybe Adidas has shorter time to market.

yes nidas, we know the history. that is were brothers. now they are dead.

good points about competition. all i was ever trying to say is that maybe the best ways to compete aren't through doing the same things everyone else is doing.

@jgerhard you said "but think this through. sure they have a name and assests and money, but they are not innovators and they have nothing to offer the market."

ok im thinking it through... ok     Point 1) OBVIOUSLY THEY ARE INNOVATORS BECAUSE THEY JUST BUILT THE LIGHTEST FOOTBALL SHOE IN THE WORLD                Point 2) they do have many things to offer in the market 1 the lightest football shoes in the world 2 the best track shoes in the world 3 Puma distributes its product to its stores in over 80 countries 4 puma stocks have been rising  particulary has risen to over 24.6% in july of '07 5 puma's main stock holder has been PPR which plans to overtake Puma in near future 6 puma sponsor many indiduals in many sports from around the world 7 pumas share sell for 333 euros 8 pumas market in expensive items has made the difference in the long run of making money.........     Shall i continue? puma can win a featherweight game... and they do have lots to offer the market. Thank You

can i just say this is an amazin achivement to trump the un trumpable supossidly i imagine these are probally very good like the adizeroes but tbh i dont care about weight give me a mizuno wave ignitus or t90 laser any day of the week over any speed boot.

matt29 said:

so you want me to talk football.... in 2004 it was the 100th anniversary of FIFA. to honor this celebration 100 players were given the title of the greatest living footballers... these footballers were choen by the only man FIFA trust to judge this contest...  Puma Sponsor Edson Arantes do Nascimento or better known as  Pele'... he is known as one of the great kings of football and only chose Puma to supply his feet with boots. he is the most well known footballer and one of the youngest ever footballers to win a world cup at the age of 17 and to be on the brazilian national team at the age of 16... theres football for you jgerhard

July 12, 2010 8:28 PM
 

jgerhard said:

good for him. don't discount the likes of cruijff, eusebio, and maradona. well maybe maradona, cause he was rubbish and a cheater. but still, what do puma have to show for it these days? very little.

July 12, 2010 9:44 PM
 

matt29 said:

( eusebio also wore pumas...) Puma today have recently spent a great amount of money trrying to improve africa's football teams... they mainly have been spending a lot of money on Ghana's national team which have made very far through this WC and only lost because of poor sportsmanship player: Uruguay's Suarez.      Puma also sponsoer many other teams... they sponsored italy 4 years ago which won the WC. I do agree with you though that puma do not have as many great players as they did before hand but they still have been a great difference in the world of football and they will continue making the difference.

July 13, 2010 4:26 AM
 

jgerhard said:

i know he wore them. that's what i said. and i understand their contribution to the game thus far. but, TO ME, puma was until recently a marque embodied by the rebellion and originality of rudolf dassler. these days i don't see that now. i see them doing everything adidas and nike do, and frankly, they aren't very good at it.

if i could give puma even slice of positive acknowledgement, it is their appreciation of the greats who made them successful in the beginning (pele and eusebio commemoratives, still waiting for a cruijff). i also appreciate their application of a leather version of every shoe.

GoGonaldo said:

I think they look great! This Puma v1.10 SL appeals to me much more than Superfly or Adizero but thats my own opinion. :P

I think Puma should make use of the fastest man ever, Usain Bolt, during the advertisng process of these boots. Puma should make Bolt run the whole length of a football pitch and time his sprint; similar to what Nike did with Asafa Powell and Mercurial SL.

matt29 said:

Puma may not have as much originality but really who does... every football shoe has the same "heart" if you will. they all will do the same things but some claim to do better than others and some are a personal preference. They are marketed as a speed boot or a power boot but thats only because of different aspects added or taken away from the boot.             originality in football boots only exists in certain kind of boots like Lotto's twist and go and mizuno's ignitus with their panel.        Puma is not really going for originality anyway in my opinion... hence being a public company they hope to make money and then start some serious marketing.                      i also like the way they make leather boots because i only use leather :)

July 13, 2010 9:19 PM
 

barc4b0y said:

@ jazzovani they look long?? lol havent you seen some boots called superflys? they maki you look duck footed you know... hahaha well i like puma's intention on launching a super lightweight boot but the one problem they have is their syntetic leather matrial looks to delicate they will tear off quickly... besides that at least looks good xD

i would certainly hope that companies could experiment with different goemetries for shoes. this is one thing that i feel adidas has done particularly well with, especiall in the f50 line. it started with a lace cover that extended from the forfoot in the early years (never well executed until then), and now they are changing the sole plate to maximize support and lightness. before soles in the midfoot were flat and flexible, and generally not supportive. but bending the midfoot as they have on the adizero, they add strength without reinforcing with more weight.

nike on the other hand were pioneers in synthetic and composite materials (apart from adding rubber panels to the upper). nikeskin on the mv one was the first well executed synthetic upper, and combined with the development of the fiberglass and pu sole, they essentially created the divisions in the boot market that we see today.

you mentioned lotto's twist n go, which is fantastic. even reebok, which still has some freedom, are working on new things. the heat moldable foam in the instante ii is something new to the football boot market. it's been around in the ski/snowboard boot market for years and it's great, so reebok would do well to extend this feature to all of their top teir shoes (although if its successful, adidas will probably just pick it up).

anyways matt, there some things that different people are doing, its just that i don't see puma doing any of them. i will certainly agree though that it's about personal preference, and personally, i don't prefere weight to "power" or whatever. it's all about fit when i buy boots, but originality and diversity are important too

I understand what you mean but sometimes i believe things are very much overlooked... i believe puma have one of the best technologies out there in a boot...                          The Powercat is marketed having 3D shooting technology. this technology adds those ridges onto the boot. the correct term for these ridges are Springtech foam ridges. Now in all other boots that come to mind there is one material that collides with the ball forcing to go a certain direction. that one material can only generate so much force itself... it relies on your leg strength to smack into the ball.              Puma's new technology in stead of one piece of material colliding it uses a spherical shape... ( this is hard to explain without pictures and physical equations)          The technology instead of making one impact it makes two impacts... the boot strikes the ball and during the strike the 3D techno kicks in... instead of smacking the ball the first impact cushions the ball onto the boot taking a tremendous amount of force away from the ball... now the second impact comes as the foot moves closer to the ball and instead of smacking it, it "pushes" the ball creating much more force then one smack.                                 Think of it this way... if you were punching someone you create one spot on the persons face and it has a great force which makes it hurt. (this would not be using a powercat)      now if you push someone it may not hurt at once but the person will go flying backwards at a much greater force causing them to hurt themself into what ever they hit... the push is just like the powercat... in a push you dont lunge your arms out you instead lightly toss your hands on them then push with all your might... it creates a much greater force......... I will bet you this is the most sophisticated technology ever to be invented in a football boot. If pros would practice with this boot non-stop and learn how to control the physics of this technology... the fastest shot ever will be with a Puma Powercat 1.10

So still they are not the lightest in the world.

And I weighted a pair of adiZero and they were 162g (one shoe)!

robinluis said:

@wuorange - yes, that probably meant they weighed around 153/154. so they are the lightest in the world. sooooo...                        and now adidas are releasing a newer version of their brand new adizero's, wow i wonder why this is..

What the f.... 150 g? it can't be good to have so light boots. You can just as well wrap some paper around your foot and glue some studs to the sole...........

not a fan of all these extremely light boots, theyll just induce more injuries and/or diving. many companies are focusing on outdoing each other with these lightweight boots, and focus less on their tried and true boots. Unlike diadora and umbro, i hope nike doesnt try to respond to these, but inevitibally they will.

the Material looks cheap. Who can tell the difference between 150 and 165? honestly

jc13 said:

oh wow...impressive. but really... i agree with Dempsey_8_23. if i worked for some other brand...id come up with a boot thats 149g...just to *** off puma haha

jc13 said:

ahhh i just checked the price boys. not impressive at all -_- wth so expensive. id never buy it. its expensive n...sorta ugly? dont think pumas gonna make so much money out of this campaign =p. i bought them vapor elites n still think its overly expensive for a pair of boots. only got them cause theyr like worldcup edition, something to talk bout in the changing room wit my mates but really ....wats the point of these puma pairs

the material may look cheap but obviously it was carefully chosen to be the material that can be very light and be more affordable than the superfly's material.                               If these boots were from nike people would be drooling over them...  jc13 i think the point of these shoes is too make the lightest shoe in the world that doesnt cost insanely expensive and to astonish the people who dont care what name brand makes them.

I think if nike or adidas would have done something similar, would not have so many bad comments ..

For my less weight = cheap materials! can play well with 300g! sure, if you're playing good football

KMLasers9 said:

Not worth it. The soccer.com description for them says that they run almost a full size small. Therefore you'd have to buy a larger size, and that boot would weigh a little bit more. Not to mention your ankles might get ripped apart by any tackle considering how low they are cut.
