Usain Bolt has been with PUMA since he was a nineteen year old emerging star. In the PUMA NETFIT launch, Usain hung out, spoke about PUMA, showed how Usain laces the new PUMA NETFIT, to get his personal fit. The video is from the launch of PUMA NetFit on May 4, 2017, and for that we thank The Shoe Addicts, the digital partners of RunBlogRun.
The NETFIT concept? PUMA wants to provide the consumer a more personalized fit. So they provided hundreds of options to personalize your fit by using the PUMA NETFIT lacing system to provide you a fit that provides more comfort and stability.
