Gianluigi Buffon Reveals All-New Next-Gen Puma ONE 2018 World Cup Boots
Legendary Italy goalkeeper Gianluigi Buffon has become the first player to be spotted wearing the second generation of Puma's ONE football boot. The next-gen Puma ONE 18.1 soccer cleat is set to for a released in late January 2018 and will be used by Puma ONE players in the 2018 World Cup.
Gianluigi Buffon Trains in Blackout Next-Gen Puma ONE 18.1 Boots
Here are two close-ups of the soccer cleats worn by Gianluigi Buffon in training this week.
Gianluigi Buffon's boot has been blacked-out in order to disguise the look of the boots, while the pictures of the boots from Italy's training do not reveal very much as well. However, a blackout Puma ONE 18.1 Prototype soccer cleat has been leaked in mid-August 2017, so it is already possible to say what the most important changes of the boots are.
The next-generation Puma ONE 18.1 football shoes introduce a distinct 3-D texture to the upper for more grip and an improved touch, while the touch area still features Kangaroo leather.
The collar and the sole plate of the Puma ONE 18.1 football boots are practically the same as the collar and the outsole of the initial generation.
Set to be launched in late January 2018, the all-new Puma ONE 18.1 boots will retail at a similar price as the current generation (200 Euro).
What do you think of the next-generation Puma ONE, which will be released just six months after the first generation? Let us know in the comments below.

Turkey 2026 World Cup Pre-Match Shirt Revealed - Streamlined Nike Template for Smaller Nations
Nike's preparations for the 2026 World Cup are being finalized with the reveal of the new Turkey pre-match shirt.
Rather than receiving a bespoke design, the new Nike Turkey 2026 World Cup pre-match jersey utilizes a highly visible, streamlined template that the American sportswear brand will be rolling out across its wider portfolio of sponsored national federations.
The defining feature of the Turkey 2026 pre-match shirt is its bold, all-over geometric graphic. The template consists of tightly packed, wavy zig-zag lines that warp and curve to create a dynamic optical illusion across the entire torso and sleeves. For the Turkish national team, this busy pattern is executed in vibrant, contrasting shades of red and dark orange.
Nike is applying this exact same streamlined template to several other national teams, simply adjusting the color palettes to suit each country. European sides like Norway and Finland, alongside South American heavyweights Uruguay, will all sport identical pre-match designs featuring their respective national colors applied to the same wavy graphic.
