Kangaroo leather on the way out at Puma

03/03/2023

Sports brand Puma has said it will stop producing football boots with kangaroo leather uppers before the end of 2023.

It said it had taken the decision because a synthetic upper material it has developed can outperform kangaroo leather. Kangaroo skins become available because population control measures are in place in many parts of Australia because the animals pose a threat to agricultural crops.
