If you’re the type of player who likes to control the tempo on the pitch, then the PUMA Future Z football shoes might just be your new secret weapon. The most striking feature of this shoe is its FUSIONFIT+ adaptive lacing system – but how does it actually perform? We put it to the test to see if it really improves your ball control.
1. Innovative lacing design: fit or gimmick?
Traditional football shoes rely on laces to fix, but the Future Z uses a laceless + adaptive lacing design. PUMA claims that FUSIONFIT+ can dynamically adjust the wrapping according to the foot shape, and our first feeling after wearing it was: tight but not oppressive.
Pros: The straps do stretch slightly when running and changing direction, providing a more personalized fit, especially for players with wide feet.
Cons: If you’re used to the fine-tuning ability of traditional laces, it may take a few training sessions to adapt.
2. Ball control touch: more flexible than Predator?
The Future Z’s upper is made of evoKNIT Pro knitted material, which is softer than the rubber ribs of the adidas Predator and provides more direct feedback when touching the ball.
Short pass and ball control: The upper is thin and sensitive, suitable for midfielders who like delicate footwork.
Long pass and shooting: Because the straps increase the stability of the upper, there is no “loose” feeling when exerting force, but it is not as crisp as the Flyknit+ACC coating of the Nike Phantom GT.
3. Grip: The actual performance of FG studs
We tested the FG (natural grass) version, and the Dynamic Motion System sole performed well in sudden stops and changes of direction:
On dry ground, the grip of the studs is close to full marks, but it is slightly insufficient in wet conditions (the AG version may be more suitable for artificial grass).
Compared with the aggressive stud layout of the Mercurial Vapor, the sole of the Future Z is more balanced and suitable for players in various positions.
4. Who is it suitable for? ——Not everyone’s first choice
Recommended: Technical midfielders, wingers or players who like high touch + personalized wrapping.
Not recommended: Pure speed winger (Mercurial is still the first choice) or striker who needs extreme shooting power (Predator may be more suitable).
5. Conclusion: A pair of boots born for football
PUMA Future Z is not the lightest or most violent football shoe, but its adaptive straps + high touch upper make it a unique choice for ball players. If you are tired of the restraint of traditional shoelaces, this pair of shoes is worth a try-but it is recommended to try it on first, because its fit may not be liked by everyone.
