PUMA Turn Up The Heat With The ‘Hot Pursuit’ Pack

PUMA are closing out 2025 and setting the tone for 2026 with the launch of the ‘Hot Pursuit’ Pack, a fiery refresh that brings bold new looks to the Future 8, Ultra 6, and the timeless King.

Seeing out 2025 in a blaze of colour, PUMA are igniting the pitch with the launch of the ‘Hot Pursuit’ Pack — a fiery refresh that lands across the Future 8, Ultra 6, and King silos. As the nights draw in and the temperature drops, this pack brings the heat, ensuring their roster of athletes stay lit through the winter grind and into the new year.

The official colourways dial up the intensity: the Future 8 arrives in “Heat Fire/Puma Black/Ravish”, the Ultra 6 in “Heat Fire/Puma Black/Glowing Red”, and the King in a more understated “Puma Black/Heat Fire/Puma Silver”. It’s a palette that feels familiar — and for good reason. There’s a clear visual lineage here, echoing the vibes of the ‘Forever Faster’ pack from April 2024 and the ‘Olympic x Tricks’ drop that followed in July. Is this a case of over saturation and a lack of new direction when it comes to making boots feel fresh? Well, that's a conversation for another day...

Of the trio, the Future 8 is the only boot to receive a technical tweak, with a slightly softer upper offering improved comfort and touch. It’s a subtle evolution rather than a revolution, but one that adds a layer of refinement to the boot’s aggressive DNA.

The Ultra 6 continues to play its role as the speed merchant of the lineup, while the King — true to its name — stands apart. Dressed in a stealthy black upper, it lets the “Heat Fire” tones burn beneath the surface, reserved for the soleplate and underfoot detailing. It’s a classy contrast that speaks to the boot’s heritage and modern edge.

With all PUMA athletes switching into these new colourways, expect to see flashes of orange and red lighting up pitches across the globe inch ever closer to 2026.
