Puma V1.10 Tricks World Cup South Africa 2010 FG
New without box
The Upper:
- Pumas speed boot line featured a blend of two materials throughout the upper
- The first layer was a lightweight synthetic mesh blend with dozens of squares in a reinforced, lightweight stitching pattern
- Over this material was a more traditional synthetic material similar to that of the Mercurial and F50 texture
- This material provided a much better grip on the ball, without sacrificing the lightweight feel of these boots
- This was the iconic Tricks edition as used in the 2010 South Africa World Cup, famously used by Nicolas Anelka in this stunning colorway
The Sole Plate:
- The V1.10 had an upgraded sole plate from the previous model, using a carbon fiber insert that had a hard plastic shell
- The carbon fiber was super durable and lightweight, a feature that Nike started using around this time as well
Notes and Comments:
- These V1.10 were Puma's solution to competing with the F50 and Mercurial lines
- They were one of the lightest boots on the market at the time, and were very well perceived by the public as a premier speed boot
- Worn by various stars including Anelka, Eto'o, and many others
