A side note: K-Leather vs Kangaroo Leather

Before discussing kangaroo leather, I want to clear the air when it comes to Kangaroo leather vs. K-leather. Many people seem to think that K-leather is some sort of synthetic kangaroo leather. They are the same thing! K-leather is just the abbreviated version of kangaroo leather, it's not different in any way, shape or form.

Notable Cleats: Nike Tiempo Legend 8, Adidas Copa 19.1, PUMA King

at you thinking I’m wrong and chiming in as if it’s some sort of gotcha.

Nike Tiempo Legend 10 was just released. It no longer uses k- leather.

Even Legends find ways to evolve. The latest iteration of these Elite cleats has all-new FlyTouch Plus engineered leather


Puma is phasing out kangaroo leather. The King Top still uses it but not for long. The King Ultimate just came out and uses synthetic leather.

K-BETTER. Made with 60% recycled nylon from post-industrial waste, this new, non-animal based upper material takes the signature touch, comfort, and stretch resistance to the next level


Edit: Puma and Nike to stop using kangaroo leather.
