PUMA Ignite Limitless 2 vs. 1
- A breathable mesh comprises the forefoot section of the upper, but running from the midfoot to the heel is the stretchy Ariaprene.
- This iteration differentiates itself from the original Ignite Limitless model through the mild use of overlays, as well as the word PUMA fused onto the vamp.

High-strength grip
A rubber compound is used for the outsole unit of the PUMA Ignite Limitless 2. Its job is to shield the rest of the platform from the abrasive nature of the surfaces.
It is also meant to provide traction, a vital trait needed for the running session.
The Ignite Limitless 2 moves with the foot
Flex grooves allow the sole unit to bend and flex in conjunction with the natural movement capacity of the foot as it goes through the gait cycle.
Eats up all the impact
IMEVA or injection molded ethylene vinyl acetate is an industry-standard foam that offers support. It attenuates impact shock while helping the runner to push forward
IGNITE is a proprietary cushioning compound that is integrated into the core of the platform. It steadies the foot, keeping it well-supported throughout the run. It is also configured to be responsive and durable.
PUMA Ignite Limitless 2: It breathes
The forefoot section of the PUMA Ignite Limitless 2 makes use of a breathable mesh. It aims to maintain a well-ventilated interior by accommodating environmental air into the foot-chamber.
Ariaprene is a stretchy fabric that’s touted to be a high-tier version of neoprene. It offers smooth and irritant-free coverage.
Comfortable support
Midfoot cages made of thermoplastic polyurethane help the upper unit when it comes to keeping the foot in place and preventing in-shoe wobbling.
Shoelaces connect to these add-ons, further heightening the adaptive fit-adjustment capacity of the façade.
The word ‘PUMA’ is fused to the vamp of this running shoe. The letters are made out of molded TPU. It heightens the aesthetics of this shoe and encourages brand recognition.
