Updates to Puma Ignite Flash evoKNIT

  • The Puma IGNITE Flash evoKNIT is constructed using lightweight and flexible materials that can keep up with rigorous fitness regimens of both men and women. The upper uses evoKNIT, a soft and stretchy fabric that delivers a snug fit. It is also breathable which keeps the inside cool during workouts.
  • The sole unit is made of the IGNITE foam technology. This platform is soft and responsive which allows it to reduce shock felt by the lower extremities, especially the joints. The high-wear areas of the unit are lined with rubber. This material amplifies durability and grip of the outsole.

Puma Ignite Flash evoKNIT size and fit

The Puma IGNITE Flash evoKNIT caters to both men and women. It is available in US sizes 7 to 14 and 5.5 to 11, for male and female consumers respectively. As for the width, it comes in D - Medium for men and B - Medium for women. The evoKNIT upper is designed to hug the foot for a comfortable, yet supportive fit.

Outsole

The Puma IGNITE Flash evoKNIT uses a single unit of foam for its outsole and midsole. The compound is designed to be durable to withstand the wear and tear of indoor and outdoor workouts. The forefoot area features flex grooves that promote natural foot flexion. It also has a cracked-like tread pattern that enhances traction of the unit.

The high-wear areas, such as the toes and the heel, are lined with an additional layer of rubber. This material amplifies durability of the outsole, as well as the grip on most surfaces.

Midsole

The full-length IGNITE foam midsole provides a cushiony base for the Puma IGNITE Flash evoKNIT. The platform is soft to attenuate shock. It is also crafted to be flexible to facilitate movements. A heel cage reinforces the back, holding the foot steady during training.

Upper

The upper of this Puma workout trainer is made of evoKNIT. It is the brand's proprietary knitted fabric that is designed to be form-fitting to deliver all-around support. It is breathable to keep the inside aerated and it also allows the foot to expand naturally.

The stretchy fabric at the collar allows it to accommodate the foot easily. It has pull tabs attached to the back and the apex which can be utilized to pull the Puma IGNITE Flash evoKNIT on quickly.

The lacing system affords wearers the ability to customize the fit at the midfoot. Synthetic overlays protect the eyestay from abrasion when the laces are cinched. At the back, a synthetic overlay forms a heel counter that keeps the foot steady during workouts.
