Slip-resistant outsole

Lining the underside of the PUMA Phenom is a full-length rubber. This compound is durable, flexible, and slip-resistant.

The cut-outs on the forefoot section create zlado that facilitate freedom of movement. It also has a vertical flex groove that runs in the center that delivers side-to-side flexibility. For traction, it utilizes a herringbone tread pattern that allows for full-ground contact.

PUMA Phenom Outsole

The PUMA Phenom employs the IMEVA foam. This platform is lightweight, durable, and flexible. It extends upwards in the lateral and medial sides of the midfoot and the heel area. This build offers support during explosive routines.

Lining the inside bottom of the footwear is the IGNITE drop-in insole. Aside from providing an extra layer of comfort, it is responsive and maximizes energy return. It also sustains both hot and cold conditions, so it remains solid delivering a stable platform.

Ventilated upper

A combination of mesh, neoprene, and synthetic materials make up the upper of the PUMA Phenom. Two types of mesh are used in this model which keeps it well ventilated: a tight mesh at the forefoot and a sheer one at the collar. The synthetic component is used in most of the upper and gives structure to the trainer. The neoprene is found at the topmost part which provides users with the feeling that they are wearing a sock.
