New Puma Ultra Ultimate

The Puma Ultra Ultimate represents a significant step forward in the speed boot category, offering a softer upper, a more adaptive fit, and a balanced outsole that suits modern football demands. This analysis focuses on the version with the polyurethane (PU) sole, not the exclusive carbon sole variant.

Upper and Ball Touch

The upper combines a knit base with a synthetic coating that is noticeably softer than previous Ultra generations. The Gripcontrol Pro coating contributes to an excellent touch on the ball, providing reliable control during play.

Fit and Comfort

The shape and overall feel of the boot have been improved, with a notable step forward in comfort and fit. The upper adapts to the shape of the foot—a feature that was missing in the last generation.

The central knit, along with the structural “yards” that shape the upper, delivers a lightweight, snug fit typical of a modern speed boot. This design is ideal for the hyper-fast pressing and recovery actions common in today’s game, while still accommodating the kind of dribbling that originates from street football.

Outsole and Traction

The outsole retains the long triad studs first seen on the Ultra Carbon, but uses a more conventional material for a balanced feel. It does not offer the ultra-extreme grip of the carbon fibre plate, but it provides good reactivity and studs that “scratch” effectively when planted.

Overall Verdict

The Puma Ultra Ultimate is a clear improvement over its predecessor. It offers greater comfort, a better fit thanks to the redesigned upper, and a less aggressive but still effective traction plate that meets the needs of the modern footballer. The speed starts with the player, but the boot helps unlock that potential.
