The v1.11 is the third generation football 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. It features a super-soft premium lightweight microfibre upper material. The central lacing which is underneath the lace cover makes the boot suitable for various footshapes, and the lace cover is held down by an elastic strap and a TriHook fastener to ensure a snug fit that provides a smooth kicking area and a unique look. A carbon fibre composite in the forefoot helps provide optimal pressure distribution, reactivity and flexibility.

An external heel counter aims to provide greater playing stability and a Pebax frame supports the outsole. The midfoot area is reinforced with a TPU composite which secures further stability and helps to avoid midfoot bending. This increased stability also enables optimal traction as well as manoeuvrability, provided through the pointed stud configuration featured on this new boot.

The boot's colourway is fluo-green with midnight navy and white elements, and will hit stores in South Africa on 1 August 2011 for the recommended retail price of R1,999.
