The IGNITE Disc. Turn on the fit. Turn up the fast.

Every second counts. Ask Usain Bolt. He knows. That’s why he doesn’t lace up in the IGNITE Disc when training. The laceless, adaptive fit system with its internal wiring offers customized comfort with a few twists. It sits atop an IGNITE FOAM midsole for energy return with every foot strike. Goodbye, laces. Ol?, gold medals.

The PUMA Disc’s adaptive fit has been outdoing double knots since 1989. It first debuted with a total of 11 parts to its internal wire system that tightened with a few turns of the Disc.

In 2016, PUMA has cut that design in half. Made it lighter. Made it smoother. Made it another gamechanger in PUMA’s gamechanging legacy. The new PUMA Disc System is smaller and lighter than the original with only 5 parts in total. It’s quicker to turn and faster in terms of tightening.

So if you’re looking to turn up your game, turn on your Disc, champ.

With the upcoming release of Nike's $350 Adapt BB, self-lacing shoes are set to become more commonplace, and Puma isn't about to let its rival take all the credit. After all, the German company showed off its own self-lacing sneaker, the Autodisc, back in 2015 -- around the same time as Nike's iconic (and ultra rare) Mag before it evolved into the HyperAdapt. The only problem was the Autodisc just wasn't practical enough to enter retail -- it was too expensive, too heavy and could have been more comfortable. But that's about to change with Puma's latest creation, the Fi (pronounced as "F-I" aka "Fit Intelligence").
