    Is it possible to both fail and win at the same time? Well, in the world of football boots, I think it is! How do you this you might ask? Make a new Puma King, but leave out the leather. Sounds awful, but it isn't. Let me explain.
    In today's video we take a closer look at the new Puma King Ultimate, a King model that substitutes k-leather for a new synthetic alternative called "K-Better". As leather boots, they suck, but as thin synthetic ones, I'm talking the Teijin synthetic days of the Nike Mercurial Vapor series, they're awesome! We breakdown everything you need to know about the new King Ultimate, and discuss why going synthetic might not have been a bad thing! What do you think of the King Ultimate?

      Yeah, I’ve been saying this for a while. People who work at stores tell me it’s because they didn’t sell very well. I don’t believe that but that’s what they say. Another thing to pay attention to is that in stores, ag aren’t available, GX elite models, adidas copa or predator in white out colorway. They have been very selective on what the companies have shipped to stores even though stores claim they are awaiting shipment

    Great review as always! Since i play 95% on quite weathered down AG pitches, i have only worn PUMA Future MG models for the past years they have been out. I saw that the new Puma KING has a PRO model as an MG variant at around 100€. Do you have any idea if they are as good as other PUMA "takedown" models usually are. I am really interested in them since i love the PUMA King silo. Thanks :)

      @@Davidjohnevans89 MG Future is amazing. I have worn every model since the Future came out, i enjoyed the first ones (1.1) and the latest ones the most. The new ones especially (Future Ultimate) are really great for all feet types. I have really wide feet and i feel very nice in them. In other news, i bought the new PUMA King Pro MG variant, cost me 100€ and i must say they are absolutely incredible value. They feel so light on my feet, again, i have really wide feet and there was absolutely no problems whatsoever. Probably the most comfortable pair straight out of the box, so soft and simple on your feet. So all in all, both the Futures and Kings are exceptional options, and if you want to save money, the new KING MG variant at 100€ is absolutely brilliant. My new favourite alongside the Futures :)

    I don't really get the positioning of Puma when it comes to their new pair of shoes.
    They have 2 models that seems to feel similar from my perspective (with the Future and Ultra), then you have this new pair that use the name "King" but have nothing in common with a og Puma King.
    In my opinion it was the perfect moment to go back to less sophisticated top end k leather option and market it well like Adidas did it with the Copa since 2017.

    Hey. So. I do appreciate this review. But. Unisport only has this silo in the MG sole-plate with the Puma King 'Pro' takedown. I'm struggling to find anyone that's reviewed that takedown model of this silo. I don't even know how it differs from the 'Ultimate.' You have often praised Puma's takedown models in the past, so I'm hoping you might give it a review?
    Interestingly, while the 'Pro' takedowns of the new Puma Future and Puma Ultra are going for around 130 USD, the Puma King 'Pro' takedown is going for just 100 USD. So if it's a good boot like past Puma takedowns have been, it's an incredible value.
