Why Did Neymar Switch Puma FUTURE Z Boots At Half Time?

It is one you might have missed, Neymar made the decision to switch boots mid game during PSG’s semi-final loss to Man City. We are not sure why he made the switch, but the decision to do so made him a lot easier to pick out on the pitch! He started the game in a pair of his custom “Creativity” boots, before switching into his signature Fortnite Edition in the second half. Because of the difference in colors – from dark blue to light white – it was easy to spot the change after halftime.

Maybe it was a planned decision, as a way to showcase the Fortnite edition on the big stage. Or maybe Neymar just didn’t feel comfortable in the Creativity version during the first half and wanted to change things up. We don’t have any confirmation on exactly what happened.

Either way, the FUTURE Z is a boot that continues to spark interest from fans and impress on foot. Puma has clearly decided that wild designs and visual stories are the best case to showcase the control silo. Performance wise, the FUTURE Z silo is built around an adaptive FUZIONFIT+ compression band that provides optimal lock-in and support for explosive movements.

The upper is made of an innovative knitted material coated with a thin layer of GripControl Pro to provide superior touch and ball control. A unique cutting-edge Dynamic Motion System outsole has been developed for advanced traction to unleash your creativity.
