Yes, that is the entire brief of the silo, from the mesh upper to the outsole.
The Ultra, including signature editions built on the same chassis.
The Ultra is Puma's speed boot, the one the brand calls the fastest cleat it makes. Everything about it is tuned toward acceleration: a thin mesh upper, a stripped lightweight outsole and as little weight as Puma can engineer out of a football boot. Christian Pulisic plays in it. If you win games in behind rather than in tight space, this is the Puma silo for you.
The current generation is the Ultra Nitro 7, and the new part is underfoot. Nitrofoam is a nitrogen-infused cushioning foam that gives a springy, quick push off, and the Ultimate build uses the Elite version of it under an Ultraweave upper that locks the foot down at top speed. Pro models run a dual-mesh upper on the same idea, and Match pairs a Speedsystem 2.0 outsole with a Nitrofoam midsole.
Reviewers rate the Ultraweave as softer and more refined on the foot than the previous version, which is the kind of change you notice on the first touch rather than in the spec sheet. You will see the current model listed as both Ultra 7 and Ultra Nitro 7. The Ultra 6 came before it, including a carbon-plated variant, and it discounts as the Nitro 7 fills in.
Ultimate sits at the top with the full foam and upper package. Pro keeps the shape and most of the responsiveness with simpler materials, and it is the sensible tier for weekly competitive soccer. Pro Cage is the laceless build, and Puma did more than remove the laces: an internal knitted speed cage wraps the foot with a tongue pull tab to cinch it down.
Match is the volume tier. Reviewers who tested both closures often preferred the laceless version for a slightly wider foot, because it spreads pressure across the top rather than concentrating it under a lace line.
This changed with the latest generation, and it is worth knowing before you buy. The previous Ultra ran long in the toe box; the new one is noticeably snugger through the forefoot. If you do not want a tight fit up front, go up a half size. If you like a locked-in, glove-like feel, buy your usual number.
Either way, the Ultra remains the narrowest of the three Puma silos, so a genuinely wide foot is better served by the King. The trade-off for that snug fit is support and stability at pace, which is what a speed boot should give you.
Most models ship on a combined FG/AG plate that covers natural grass and synthetic pitches on one pair. Puma FG models give firmer traction on dry grass, and Puma turf shoes carry the Nitro builds onto short synthetic surfaces where a studded plate would wear through fast.
Women's Ultra models are one of the most searched requests on this collection; Puma women's soccer cleats carries the full run. Black leads the colorways, and black Puma cleats covers those alongside white and the brighter pack releases. Within the wider Puma range, choose Ultra for speed, the Future for creativity and close control if you change direction more than you sprint in a straight line, and King for heritage comfort. Future models carry a stretch knit upper and a motion system built for agility over top speed.
