Puma honors the 80th anniversary of Vittorio Pozzo's appointment as Italy's first full-time national coach, the only coach to have won two FIFA World Cup trophies and the creator of the famed il Metador formation. This boot is a tribute to him and the Azzurri of the 1930's.
The King XL Italia iFG Boot design satisfies players' needs by using today's materials and technologies while maintaining the classic, smooth look. The lateral stability inserts, the toe overlay, and the bead line between the upper and outsole are inspired by the original King. The King's round studs refer back to traditional football boots, and provide exceptional stability and maneuverability.
Modernized elements include the King's soft full grain leather upper, which provides an unparalleled experience in terms of comfort and control. The modern high-density silicon external heel counter provides protection and enhances stability, while the shaped structural lines on the side underline the technology. The PUMA AptoLast conforms to the foot's natural contours, and offers snug fit. All of these elements are complemented by the golden FOT on the heel.
PUMA's homage is underlined by the Italian flag on the sockliner and lace tips, along with the FIGC logo on the sockliner. The King XL Italia logo on the tongue adds the final touch to this elegant performance boot.
This LIMITED EDITION product comes with free boot bag, polish, brushes and cloth, to help keep your boots in top condition, plus a free anniversary booklet with the complete story of the PUMA-Azzurri connection.
