Puma King!

Hala my new Puma V5.06! I think I pulled off the coup of the year with this one.

As you all know by know, I just bought a brand-new pair of red Nike Mercurial Steam's a couple of months back. So why would I need another pair? Well guess what?

I got no idea.

I was in Tampines Mall when I spotted this Puma sale going on at the 1st floor, and prices were going so cheap it's nuts! This pair was actually priced at $39.90, but there was an offer for two pairs of shoes at $60++ which I took, so the price of this boot came to about approximately $30? Baik uh! I just couldn't resist.

Actually I wanted this boot in mottled grey colour, but the last remaining pair on offer is one size too big for me =( The boot is super-lightweight, suitable for a speedy winger like me, and the upper is made up of some quilted synthetic fabric. The end result is an ultra-thin top layer for better 'feel' of the ball, but 1x good step on my foot and I'll confirm + chop + sign be going 'ADOI!' 0_0

You may notice that the boot is in matte finish compared to the Mercurials, and that's because partly it's fabric and lacks the glossy finish present on the Mercurial's latex-like finish. The 'gloss' is actually a coating to help keep the ball under better control, but in wet and wild... i mean, in wet and rainy conditions, the control can get rather wonky. Therefore I'll be using the Puma for rainy weather, while the Mercurials will be used for for dry/normal weather. Forca Zulhikam!

Sometimes I feel like a girl when it comes to football gear.

The colour scheme I wanted

The colour scheme I bought

Asymmetrical side-lacing system for more 'ball-kicking' area at the front of the foot

Cloth fabric is light, but offers little protection for me from being stomped on the foot =(

This is the only view opponents will get of me most of the time as I go past them
