Who should buy the Puma King Top di Firm Ground

The PUMA King Top di Firm Ground upper is made of 100% premium leather. This material makes the soccer cleat comfortable and follows the shape of the foot.

  • You're looking for a classic look ala Mundial Goal but more affordable.
  • You're playing defense and you need a durable but comfortable construction for added support.
