Puma Re-Issues v1.06 Boots for 10th Anniversary
Feb 10, 2016, by Pat
Puma is bringing back one of its most iconic football boots, the v1.06. Released in 2006, the Puma v1.06 boot returns as a limited-edition release to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The re-issued v1.06 is part of the new Football Classics Initiative which will see Puma bring back more classics, as well as release new takes on past concepts, like the Puma evoSPEED SL Grass.
Puma v1.06 - Red / White / Black
This image shows the 2006 Puma v1.06 speed soccer cleat, re-released in February 2016.
Labeled Puma's lightest football boot at the time, the v1.06 was worn by the likes of Samuel Eto'o, Robert Pires and Alexander Hleb (who interestingly wore the original boots from 2006 in this year's Champions League). Mostly red, they feature white Puma brandings on both sides, while the sockliner and sole plate are offset in black.
Tech-wise, the Puma v1.06 is re-launched with the exact same specifications as the 2006 original. It features a Scholler ConTec upper in order to reduce weight and offer a barefoot-like feel. A carbon fiber outsole with an unique stud configuration is used for the Puma v1.06 soccer cleats, both to keep the weight low and to improve acceleration and speed on firm-ground surfaces.
The re-released Puma v1.06 football boots are already available in limited quantities of 500 for €270 (£220).

FC Cartagena 26-27 Away Kit Released
Spanish side FC Cartagena and Macron have officially launched their new away kit for the 26-27 season, paying homage to the city's rich three-thousand-year heritage. Draped in traditional carmesí red, the jersey is decorated with an intricate all-over graphic pattern inspired by an ancient Roman mosaic uncovered in the crypt beneath the Catedral de Santa María la Vieja. Elegant gold detailing highlights the monochrome crest, collar trim, sleeve cuffs, and sponsor emblems, completed by the Latin motto Carthago Nova Invicta Est subtly sublimated onto the lower hem.
Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
