Recently Sport-locker.net revealed that Sergio Aguero had signed for PUMA. 

And today we can announce that the sport-lifestyle brand have snapped up yet another international star striker to join their growing football player portfolio. 

Step forward Atletico Madrid’s record signing and Columbia’s very own Radamel Falcao! 

He’s chosen the v1.11 speed boot in the lead green colourway and made his first appearance in them over the weekend away at Barcelona. 

By putting pen to paper on the long-term contract, it means that PUMA have signed two of the top three football transfers of 2011 – good work! 

And with Cesc Fabregas training in what looks like a pair of new PUMA PowerCat 1.12s in Spain earlier this week, could they be set to make it a clean sweep?

Speaking about the new partnership, Falcao said: “I have made two great moves this past couple of months, one to Atletico Madrid and the second to sign this partnership with PUMA. 

“Both are big steps towards moving my career forward and achieving my goals. I have always had big ambitions in football – I am proud to be playing in La Liga, and working with PUMA on the global marketing campaigns they have developed is very exciting for me. 

“I fully believe in the plans they have developed, and love the PUMA v1.11 boots.” 

Falcao will now feature prominently in PUMA’s global football communication as another top tier asset spearheading communication around the PUMA v1.11 speed boot. 

With his pace, skill and trickery, he has made an explosive start to his La Liga career- scoring five goals in four games already this season. Falcao joins Sergio Aguero, Samuel Eto’o, Mario Gomez, Ibrahim Afalley, Loic Remy and other lead players who have chosen the PUMA v1.11. 

The PUMA v1.11 speed boot that Falcao will wear is amongst the lightest football boots PUMA has ever made. 

It is the third generation boot that uses the special UNI technology, where the upper material is stitched rather than glued to the sole, providing the perfect fit by perfectly replicating the unique PUMA Aptolast. 

In addition, the v1.11 enables greater playing stability, through an external heel counter and a Pebax frame that provides support to the outsole. This increased stability also enables an optimal traction as well as manoeuvrability, provided through the pointed stud configuration featured on this new boot. 

The PUMA v1.11 also features a super soft premium lightweight microfibre upper material. A carbon fibre composite in the forefoot helps provide optimal pressure distribution, reactivity and flexibility.
