New shoe season kicks off

To all football-crazed fiends who missed out on owning a pair of the limited-edition Argentina original trainers, rejoice! PUMA is set to launch a second instalment… the legend lives on.

A country synonymous with footballing glory, Argentina’s legacy inspired a PUMA cult classic and etched itself into football-terrace history.

July 2007 saw the successful global re release of the Limited Edition Argentina Original (AO); an iconic shoe, formerly introduced in 1978, in recognition of 10 PUMA players who helped steer Argentina to World Cup victory… From a country so synonyms with footballing glory; Argentina’s legacy inspired a PUMA cult classic and etched itself into football terrace history.

Built as a lightweight court shoe, aptly accented with the national colours of the Argentinean flag, the Argentina’s simple pattern and low profile was lovingly adopted by UK terrace fans throughout the 1970’s – 1980’s and the dominance of English teams in European football.

Continuing the spirit of Argentina, the PUMA Argentina KD pack pays tribute two prominent cities of those glory days, Glasgow and Merseyside’s Celtic and Liverpool teams. Stand proud in red for Liverpool, green for Celtic and blue for Scotland, the only British Isles team to qualify for the World Cup finals in Argentina 1978. Embedded in sporting heritage, the PUMA Argentina lives on. Each colourway is strictly limited to just 240 pairs worldwide and Size? has them all.
