Separating the vamp and insole of right shoe
The bottom of shoe tongue uses big mesh fabric, which improve the air permeability. The inner sleeve design improve the fitness.
The integrated vamp fits the foot well.
The surface of shoe-pad is made of fabric material, and it’s printed with PUMA and Bauer’s personal logo.
The surface material of insole fabric is EVA.
The reverse side of insole fabric is non-woven material.
The insole uses full-length NITRO FOAM cushion technology with PEBAX cushion material.
The inner side of half sole is upturning design, which cover the insole to improve the stability.
The length of EUR42 half-sole PEBAX cushion material is about 43.57mm.
The width of EUR42 half-sole PEBAX cushion material is about 63.69mm.
The thickness of EUR42 half-sole PEBAX cushion material is about 4.70mm.
The length of EUR42 heelpiece PEBAX cushion material is about 36.97mm.
The width of EUR42 heelpiece PEBAX cushion material is about 43.35mm.
The thickness of EUR42 heelpiece PEBAX cushion material is about 4.71mm.
The heelpiece has surrounding TPU plate which is placed between the heelpiece and insole to improve the stability.
The thickness of EUR42 heelpiece surrounding TPU plate is about 2.03mm.
The arch TPU stabilizing plate is placed between insole and outsole.
The length of EUR42 TPU stabilizing plate is about 92.71mm.
The width of EUR42 TPU stabilizing plate front end is about 49.40mm.
The width of EUR42 TPU stabilizing plate rear-end is about 36.84mm.
The thickness of EUR42 TPU stabilizing plate is about 2.58mm.
The outsole uses one piece rubber.
The thickness of EUR42 half-sole rubber outsole is about 4.27mm.
The thickness of EUR42 heelpiece rubber outsole is about 5.35mm.
The thickness of EUR42 half-sole (insole+outsole) is about 18.57mm.
The thickness of highest point of arch position is about 24.25mm.
The thickness of EUR42 heelpiece (insole+outsole) is about 25.37mm, the drop height is about 6.8mm.
Let’s have a look at the difference of the MB.02 and MB.01 inner structure:

Deconstructed Report
Vamp: The vamp is made of lightweight engineering mesh fabric. The both sides of vamp uses hot-melting TPU material to improve the lateral support. The inner sleeve design improve the fitness.
Insole: It uses full-length NITRO FOAM cushion technology. And it’s also filled with PEBAX cushion material. It’s resilient. The resilient feedback is great. The arch TPU stabilizing plate with surrounding TPU plate offer excellent stability.
Overall: Based on PUMA MB.01, PUMA MB.02 has been upgraded. It reinforces the strength of vamp and adds PEBAX cushion material on the half-sole. The comfort level is obviously improved.
