Pulisic's new signature PUMA boots pay homage to his own tattoos

Captain America's inspiration is in the mirror.
May 16, 2023

After paying homage to the Stars and Stripes with his first signature PUMA collection last year, Christian Pulisic is back at it again with another "CP" pack themed around Captain America's second greatest love — his own tattoos.

The pièce de résistance of Pulisic's second PUMA collection is the latest signature version of the ULTRA ULTIMATE boots. 

"When collaborating with PUMA on my second collection, the inspiration behind the design elements you will find throughout were two of my favorite tattoos," Pulisic said. "Each tattoo represents a special piece of my journey and how I got here. I'm excited to bring this collection to soccer players everywhere and inspire them to accomplish any goal they set their mind to."

His bald eagle tattoo is represented with wings on the outside of the boot while the inside of the foot features the tiger in a striking geometric design.

 

Also included in the collection is a CP10 graphic ball and CP10 backpack. Products are available now on the PUMA App and at PUMA.com

While this represents an off-the-pitch victory for Pulisic, the 24-year-old's club career has stalled with his last appearance for Chelsea coming back on April 15. He hasn't gotten off the bench in a month and is edging closer and closer to a summer transfer with one year remaining on his contract at Stamford Bridge.

Pulisic's next opportunity to represent the USMNT will be at the Concacaf Nations League finals in Las Vegas. The U.S. plays Mexico in a semifinal at Allegiant Stadium on Thursday, June 15.
