Global sports company PUMA unleashes the fastest shoes with the first-ever sales premiere of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team Speedcat Pro from Lewis Hamilton and Valtteri Bottas.
The limited edition of these exclusive racing boots offers exactly the same technology, fabrics and colors with which the current designer and driver world champions are on the podium.
PUMA has been the official team supplier of the Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 Team since 2012 and is experiencing a new era in motorsport. The global sports company supports the six-time designer and driver world champions in a row with the highest performance and safety standards for racing equipment.
Lightweight fabrics and fireproof materials keep Lewis Hamilton, Valtteri Bottas & Co competitive and safe at the same time. PUMA is offering the racing boots of Mercedes-AMG Petronas F1 team drivers Hamilton and Bottas for sale for the first time, offering motorsport enthusiasts the very limited opportunity to purchase a pair of the fastest shoes PUMA has ever brought to life.
Lewis Hamilton has been wearing PUMA racing boots since 2013 and knows the shoes very well: “The advantages that the shoe offers are in the feel. Feel the pedal, feel the brake. You get the most real and efficient feel of the pedals, especially the accelerator and brakes. "
His team-mate Valtteri Bottas added: “It (Speedcat Pro) has to be comfortable and light. And of course you want security from it. For me it's the best racing shoe I've ever had in my career. "
At the height of motorsport, only the most modern materials are available for racing. Full throttle performance is guaranteed by the outer and inner lining of the PUMA Speedcat Pro made of light fabrics that do not impair comfort and ensure fire protection.
Another weight reduction comes in the form of a heel support made from real carbon fiber counter. The flat rubber outsole and EVA wedge provide absolute control over the pedals with the right level of comfort, while the shoe remains light and nimble.
Safety is always the focus of PUMA during the development process. The Speedcat Pro was therefore built in accordance with the latest FIA homologation regulations for safety equipment (FIA standard 8856-2018) for the best protection in racing.
Start the engines as the Speedcat Pro will only be available in limited numbers. Lewis Hamilton's black racing boot with purple stripes is only offered for sale with 44 pairs. The Valtteri Bottas Pro model of the Speedcat Pro with white stripes is limited to 45 pairs.
