Fresh, loud and light. PUMA have unveiled the new recruits to their Tricks collection with the EVOSpeed 1.5 and EVOPower 1.2 and they are sure to make a statement on the boot market.

And not just for their striking dual colourways. While football fans attempt to locate Nike’s latest line of camouflage boots, PUMA have taken the opposite thought process to grab your attention with their new duo.

Of course, the first thing you notice is the fluorescent yellow and pink glow but there is much more to these boots than meets the eye.

PUMA are perhaps best known for their classic homages to the past, but with these, they have produced one of the lightest standard production boots on the market.

And unlike the somewhat controversial SL model – which were said to last only around 10 games – they are durable, too.

Considering how light they are as well, they’re very comfortable and that’s probably down to the flexible base and aggressive traction.

If you’re looking for something thin and light then you seriously need to take a look at them. Moving on to the tech specifications, they feature a micro-fibre upper, which is a complete re-design from the previous model.

The mix of blades and conical studs makes sure that you will have good traction on any firm ground pitch and depending on your tolerance for this sort of thing, and for us we saw this as a positive, expect shots to felt throughout your foot.

To put it simply, there’s a reason the likes of Sergio Aguero have them on his feet because these rule the roost and will give your acceleration a boost.

DON THE FAMOUS YELLOW AND BLACK OF BVB

One of the most recognisable football teams on the planet deserve a kit to match that reputation.

Incorporating the traditional yellow, PUMA’s latest version of the Borussia Dortmund home shirt has a contemporary feel which is complemented by additional stripes in a dot pattern and a black, offset PUMA formstrip on the shoulder.

The modern round neck collar completes the look and the extended back ensures a better fit. The BVB players will be well-equipped on the field a functional level – high-quality polyester material ensures exceptional comfort.

Mesh inserts integrated on the sides, and the dryCELL technology developed by PUMA reliably transport moisture outwards and guarantee optimum breathability.
