The legacy continues: KING is back 
Introducing the brand-new KING, supercharged by K-BETTER material. 0% LEATHER. 110% KING.
PUMA has redesigned its legendary KING silo and released a 2023 version that features their new K-BETTER technology, a material that delivers exceptional performance without using kangaroo leather.
The PUMA KING has been worn by legendary players such as Johan Cruyff, Diego Maradona, Eusébio, Lothar Matthäus and Pelé, who dominated the international game for decades. Now the KING is returning to the pitch supercharged with the latest PUMA technology and for the first time ever made with K-BETTER, a completely new, non-animal based upper material. The upper contains at least 20% recycled material as a step toward a better future. K-BETTER has proven to outperform the previous KING K-Leather in testing for touch, comfort, and durability. PUMA is so convinced by the performance characteristics of K-BETTER that it will stop producing football boots with kangaroo leather altogether this year.
"The PUMA KING is PUMA's most iconic franchise in football and has always stood for using the best materials and the latest in innovation. Over the years we have seen the boot evolve and become ingrained in on pitch and off pitch football culture, from the pitches to the terraces." said Peter Stappen, Lead Product Line Manager Teamsport Footwear. "The new KING takes the franchise to the next-level and offers a super-soft upper with optimal stretch resistance for ultimate touch and control benefits."
Apart from the redesigned upper, The KING also features a new lightweight outsole with an external heel counter, KING stability spine and conical studs, so you have as much control over your movements as you do over the ball. The KING includes a lightweight removable sockliner with NanoGrip technology to keep the foot locked in place to minimalize any loss of power when changing direction.
The new KING will debut on pitch with Granit Xhaka, Ingrid Engen, Nabil Fekir, Lena Lattwein and more.
This Supercharge edition will be available soon at SOCCER.com.
