The PUMA King Pro FG soccer cleats in white deliver a fresh update to a classic that adorned the feet of some of the game’s all-time greats. The new version is considerably lighter than its predecessor but stays true to its heritage with a Kangaroo-leather upper for a premium feel on the foot and on the ball. A modern slip-on construction delivers a comfy fit that seamlessly links the ankle to the shin and the lightweight outsole promotes speed on firm, natural ground.
Cleat Class - Team
King
Its origins go back to 1966 and the creation of the “Wunderschuh” that Eusebio wore at the World Cup. Prior to the tournament, the Portuguese star had spoken to PUMA founder Rudi Dassler and requested a cleat that was softer and more flexible than the stiff designs of the time. He got his wish and used the PUMA Wembley, as it was known, to notch nine goals and finish as top scorer.
Two years later, taking advantage of Eusebio’s rise to prominence, PUMA crowned their man and released the King Eusebio, which was even more flexible and used non-slip nylon screw cleats for extra grip – a king of a cleat for a king of a player.
In 1970, the King was established enough to go its own way, without the need for a famous player’s name to boost its rep. By then, stars of the game were queueing up to wear the legendary leather cleat. First perhaps the greatest of all, Pele, then later Cruyff, Maradona, Dalglish, and Matthaus. If they’re an icon, there’s a good chance they wore the King.
More recently, the King has been fine-tuned for control, updated with modern technology to make sure its renowned feel on the ball is maintained in today’s game. It’s even made the transition away from leather, using non-animal-based materials such as K-BETTER to improve sustainability and ensure the King’s reign continues for years to come.
Puma
All five have wowed spectators wearing perhaps the most iconic cleat of all: the PUMA King. Having been tweaked and refined over the years since its introduction in 1968, the King’s now available in a lighter, more streamlined design that’s engineered for modern playmakers.
The PUMA range also includes the agile Future Z and the superfast Ultra, both of which use the latest tech to provide lightweight performance that lets your skills shine.

Ground Type Guide
Selecting the correct sole plate for the surface you are playing on is crucial, not only for the performance and longevity of your cleats, but also to avoid the risk of injury.
Using an outsole that isn't designed specifically for the surface on which you are playing may cause premature wear and/or damage that will not be deemed as a fault of manufacture and will prevent the retailer accepting them for a refund or exchange.
Firm Ground
Cleats with Firm Ground soleplates are only to be used on natural short-grass surfaces that is firm underfoot but may be slightly wet.
Designed specifically for this playing surface, they offer acceleration, comfort and enhanced traction, dispersing stud pressure evenly across the foot.
FG soleplates are fixed (not removable) and are used worldwide; wetter countries tend to use them spring to autumn.
FG cleats are not to be used on artificial ground (AG) surfaces as the construction is not designed for the extra friction.
FG cleats used on AG surfaces will invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty.
