Football boots from the Puma Showtime pack

What is the Puma Showtime pack?

The Puma Showtime pack is a collection of colours: Puma takes its existing football boot lines and outfits them in a common, vibrant, gradient palette, with mismatched touches from one foot to the other. The brand claims the heritage of its Tricks Pack, the collections that popularised pairs with two different colours. In other words, you're not buying a brand new shoe here, but rather a Showtime colourway version of a Puma model you might already know. The construction of the upper and sole remains the same as the original line.

At Puma, the Showtime pack covers the three main families of the brand: the Future, the Ultra, and the King. On this page, you only see the references that are actually available on Foot-Store, in both men's sizes and children's sizes depending on the models.

What Puma Showtime shoes are available on Foot-Store?

The Puma Showtime selection at Foot-Store currently revolves around two pairs with FG/AG soles. The Puma King 20 Ultimate FG/AG represents the oldest line of the brand, one that's always been associated with immediate comfort and touch. The Puma Future 9 Match FG/AG comes from the family focused on ball control and agility, offering a more snug fit for the foot.

The Future 9 is also available in a children's version, allowing you to equip a young player in the same spirit as the adult pair. Since a colour pack isn't re-released indefinitely, the sizes and models featured change over the weeks: this page reflects the exact status of the selection.

King 20 or Future 9: which one to choose?

The choice between the King 20 and the Future 9 depends on your playing style, not the colour, as it is the same for both. The King is aimed at players looking for a soft shoe, comfortable from the first sessions, with a direct ball feel: suited for midfielders, central defenders, or players who simply want a pair that doesn't draw attention. The Future is more for players who make short bursts, quick turns, and enjoy a tighter fit.

If you're still unsure, consider your current pair: stick to the same family if it works for you, or switch families if you've had comfort or fit issues. And keep in mind the adjustment period: a snug shoe often requires a few training sessions before it feels natural.

Ultimate, Match: what do these suffixes mean at Puma?

These suffixes indicate the level of finishing within the same line, from the most refined to the most accessible. A King 20 Ultimate and a Future 9 Match belong to different tiers of the Puma catalogue: the Ultimate designation corresponds to the high-end version of the line, the one seen on professional pitches, while the Match designation indicates an intermediate version, with different materials and weight for a more budget-friendly option.

Specifically, if you play once or twice a week, an intermediate version is more than enough and does not wear out as quickly as one might think. If you’re doing both training and matches frequently, the high-end version of the line is more justified. In both cases, the product page for each pair specifies its full designation.

FG/AG: what types of pitches are these shoes meant for?

FG/AG means that the sole is designed for both firm natural grass pitches (Firm Ground) and modern synthetic surfaces (Artificial Grass). This is the most versatile combination for a club player in France, who often switches between match grass and training synthetic.

There are two exceptions to this. On a very waterlogged and muddy pitch, a shoe with detachable studs is more appropriate. On a hard, stabilized or indoor surface, dedicated soles are required: a FG/AG sole does not grip properly and wears out prematurely. If you play on multiple surfaces during the week, first look at where you spend the most time.

What other packs should I compare before deciding?

The same model often exists in several colour packs concurrently, and the page New Packs gathers all these football shoe collections. The ones closest to this one include:

• Other Puma packs, if you want the same line in a different colour: Puma Level Up, Puma Eclipse, and Puma Arrival.
• The Nike Showtime, which carries the same name but features Nike shoes: do not confuse it with this page if you’re looking for a Mercurial or a Phantom.
• On the adidas side, the adidas Final Rush, the adidas Chaos vs. Control which contrasts two approaches to the game within the same pack, the adidas Road to Glory, and the adidas F50 Messi, focused on the F50 line.
• At Nike, the Nike Mbappe 26 for signature colours, the Nike Black Pack if you prefer a simple and solid pair, the Nike Breakout, and the Nike Break 'Em Pack.
• And to explore beyond the three major brands: the New Balance Neon Tide, the Mizuno Bright Black, and the Skechers Sunset, three useful options if the dominant brands' shoes don't fit your foot.

Where can I find a good deal on Puma Showtime shoes?

The colours in a pack have a limited commercial lifespan, which is exactly what makes them interesting to follow: when the next collection arrives, the pairs from the previous pack move to the website’s promotional pages. Three pages should be monitored closely for football shoes: the football shoe promotions, the shoe clearance for end-of-series and sizes, and the shoe deals which gather current offers. The page shoe sales takes over during sale periods.

In order of the calendar, the Black Friday football shoes kicks off the sequence, followed by the holiday season, then the winter sales, and the French Days in spring. These key moments are grouped in general pages like Black Friday, Sales, special offers, and deals, as well as on the clearance.

Conversely, if you want to see a pack right when it launches, the new football shoes and the new arrivals sections list the latest references added online. And when the pair is expected for an upcoming match, the selection shipped in 24h, or its all products version, helps filter the items that are dispatched the quickest.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do Puma Showtime shoes fit like other Puma shoes?

The Showtime colourway does not alter the size: a King 20 in Showtime fits like a King 20 in any other colour. However, not all Puma lines fit the same way, with the King known to be wider in the forefoot than the Future. If you're switching lines, measure your foot and compare it with the size guide on the product page rather than blindly reverting to your usual size.

Why do the two shoes in the same pair look different?

It’s intentional and is the signature of the pack. Puma adopts the principle of its Tricks Pack, where the left and right shoe do not have the same colour treatment. This does not affect the construction or performance of the two shoes, which are identical otherwise.

Does a pack shoe cost more than the standard colourway?

A colour pack does not change the model's series level: it’s the suffix of the line, such as Ultimate or Match, that determines the price point, not the colour. The price displayed on each product page is therefore that of the model and its finish. The visible differences between two pairs on this page mainly come from this difference in finishing.

What should I do if my size no longer appears in the Showtime pack?

Pack colours are produced in a limited run over time, so a sold-out size does not necessarily return. Two options: search for the same model in another colour via the New Packs page, or keep an eye on the promotional and clearance pages, where remaining sizes from previous packs reappear when a new collection is released.

Are these shoes suitable for futsal or indoor football?

No, an FG/AG sole is not meant for indoor surfaces. The studs do not grip well on a wooden floor or smooth surface, leading to instability and premature wear of the sole. For futsal, you need a flat sole like IN, and for city pitches, a sole dedicated to hard surfaces.
