Puma has been slowly making its place in the football world, and one of the main reasons for its recognition is its partnership with the Brazilian player Neymar Jr. The German sportswear giant has upped its game in the football world in 2022 and has designed some of the most outstanding boots and kits throughout the year.
The German label gained a huge fan following in 2020 when Neymar broke his 15-year-old partnership with Nike to join Puma. Its iconic football boots, such as the Ultra and Future Z, are worn by many athletes and football fans as they trust it for support and agility.
The label always looks for ways to revolutionize the cleats by adding a variety of technological details. We have compiled a list of the top four football cleats launched as part of the Puma x Neymar Jr. partnership.
