According to PUMA, the design on the evoSPEED 1.2 is inspired by muscles, joints and, well... race cars. Yes, the last may be a little hard to associate with the first two inspiration sources, but this is what they say. PUMA are telling that the graphical design of the boot is inspired by the soft curves of race cars, as well as the air intake.
The evoSPEED 1.2 has come to life to offer three main points: Low weight, flex and a perfect fit or as PUMA put it, Light, flex and fit. And luckily the boots also delivers. The evoSPEED 1.2 weighs in at 198 grams in the synthetic version, which admittedly could have been lower but on the other hand PUMA compensate well by providing extra support and comfort.
The PUMA evoSPEED 1.2 comes with two different uppers; a leather version and another version made of top quality Japanese synthetic, which has also been designed with a leather emulating finish in order to provide the elegant feel. The upper on the synthetic model is thin and soft to provide a snug fit and a precise ball feel.
In addition, the boot is equipped with the GripTex technology, which consists of little sticky dimples that ensure a good ball grip and hereby add to your ball control, even when the rain starts to fall.
In order to keep the high level of comfort the PUMA want, they have ensured an anatomically correct shaped last that follows the curve of your toes in a unique manner, and therefore provide a great fit straight out the box. Moreover, PUMA have fitted in their EverFit Cage technology on the inside of the upper, which act as a skeleton in the boot, and ensures good stability to the upper and hereby keep your foot well in place.
Last but not least, the evoSPEED 1.2 has been developed to follow and move with your foot as you are running, as PUMA have made use of their extensive knowledge from making running shoes, where they, among other things, have a sponsoring deal with the fastest man in the world, Usain Bolt.
PUMA are seeking to increase the flexibility in the forefoot by adding a number of flex grooves that help you to be ready for the explosive acceleration needed to pass your opponent with a quick movement. In addition, the midfoot is stable to provide rapid power transfer from heel to toe, resulting in a boot that reacts to even the smallest movement.

One of the great successes of the Puma Evospeed has been that they have also produced a nice leather version, which provide an optimal touch on the ball and ensures a nice and personal fit; and also for this blue and orange version of the Puma evoSPEED 1.2 they have fund the space to include a leather model.
Here the upper is made of the extremely nice and supple calf leather that quickly adapts to your foot and hereby provides that personal and incredibly comfortable fit, as well as the soft and natural touch on the ball, which the leather material is known to deliver.
