Global sports brand Puma aims to shake up performance running with the introduction of its IGNITE evoKNIT, a combination of technology and streetwear design that could make you the biggest and boldest on the block with this new killer mash-up.

This funky footwear gets its street-cred from using a fully-knitted upper for form-fitting comfort, stretch and breathability, plus a branded, collared sleeve along the ankle for full support.

The upper features a supporting strap that allows stability within the heel to lock it onto the platform of the shoe. The midsole features a special foam with high-tech material that claims to have exceptionally responsive, energy-returning qualities. The premium cushioning is enhanced by a chevron grooved design that has been sculpted to compress during landing and rebound, providing spring and energy with each step.

To mimic the runner’s natural gait, the outsole incorporates a transition line that runs from heel-to-toe. This design guides a smoother toe-off and overall ride, with durability and traction infused into the heel and forefoot.

The contemporary streetwear-inspired vibe comes from the knit features that have a mix of three colours for depth and dimension, and the sleek upper and bold collar give it an eye-catching, youthful appeal.

Debuting in four colourways, the new IGNITE evoKNIT drops in Footlocker across the GCC at the beginning of August.
