Race Cat with grip! The shoe for the pit stop crew - new in the PUMA for BMW WilliamsF1 Team Collection 2004

Munich. In Formula 1 racing, the pit stop can help the driver gain
crucial seconds. In the pit stop, every movement must be spot-on, and
in the pit lane, it's the shoes that ensure that the team has the right
'grip'. This sport trainer for the pit stop crew is now also available
in the PUMA for BMW WilliamsF1 Team Collection - a cool design from the
pit lane straight to the street. A "must-have" for all
trendsetters and BMW Williams F1 Team Fans: the Team Rennkatze trainer!
The trainer's real eye-catcher is its sole. Just like the tyres of the
high-performance cars, it is made from smooth rubber with thin grooves
for exceptional grip. And one remarkable detail - two wedges have been
integrated into the mid-sole to ensure stability. The result is a wave
shape that gives the shoe its innovative design. The outer material of
the ankle-high shoe is made from sturdy leather and sports a white,
silver and dark blue design, with the blue perfectly matching the
colour of the BMW WilliamsF1 Team racing cars. Leather appliqué
sections that are perfectly coordinated with each other in terms of
cut, shape and colour combination give the trainer a dynamic look. The
inner is lined with a textile material. Two tongues with Velcro
fastening ensure a secure grip at the top, around the ankles. Unlike
the original, the Team Rennkatze trainer is not made from fire-proof
material like the trainer used by the pit lane crew, and is thus
significantly more pleasant to wear. The Team Rennkatze trainer costs
190 Euro (price in Germany) and is, like all the other products from
the PUMA for BMW WiliamsF1 Team Collection, available from BMW dealers,
fan shops, at Formula 1 race tracks or on the Internet in the Pit Shop
at www.bmw.williamsf1.com. The PUMA for BMW Williams F1 Team
Collection can also be purchased in Puma Concept Stores. The price for
all products can be found in the catalogue or on the Internet.
