Puma Evo Speed Unboxing Article

Even though I am still testing the Nike Tiempo Legend IV EC12 I decided it was time to switch things up a little and test a boot from a different brand from Nike. After testing the Vapor 8 and almost done testing the Tiempo Legend IV I decided I was going to surprise my fans by picking the Puma Evospeed 1 to be my next test subject. Expect a "First Impressions" Article on my Evospeeds very soon!

When I took my new cleats out of the box and tried them on they felt different than what I was used to wearing. I wasn't used to a monolayer microfiber upper since I have always been using a Tejiin Microfiber or Kangaroo Leather Nike boot. The upper did seem like it would be preety durable though (which I will focus on in my first impressions article). But the thing that must struck me about the upper was the design. The beautiful White/Limoges/Ribbon Red colorway that was the main Euro colorway for all 3 of Puma's boots was quite striking. I loved the design down each side which reminded me of a lightning bolt for some reason. 

Another thing that I really liked about this boot was the Heel Counter on the back. I could tell lots of people who wanted a durable and comfortable boot would fall for these due to the heel counter providing extra support. The last thing I loved with the upper but mainly the whole boot was how light they were! Though when I played around for a good two hours in these boots they were not very comfortable but I will mention that more in my First Impressions Article.

 

Finally the last thing I took a look at after pulling these things out of the box was the stud config. Like what I mentioned in my Unboxing Video (check that out over on YouTube when you get a chance), I really liked that this boot had four studs on the back. When I tested the Vapor 8 a few months ago, I had trouble with the two stud config. (But not so much trouble as to what I went through with the thin suede finish on the upper) But I heard a lot about how Nike fixed the problems with the Vapor 8 with the Euro Edition by putting on a Leather Finish. Hopefully I will get to test the next colorway of the Vapor 8 (with most likely a leather finish) to see how they differ from the older launch colorway.
