Con m\u00e1s de 65 a\u00f1os de historia, la FORMSTRIP es mucho m\u00e1s que una simple franja.<br><br>La historia del FORMSTRIP comenz\u00f3 a mediados del siglo XX, cuando las botas de f\u00fatbol eran muy pesadas y los jugadores ten\u00edan que tener la piel muy gruesa para poder jugar con ellas durante 90 minutos. Todo esto empez\u00f3 a cambiar cuando, en la d\u00e9cada de 1950, se empezaron a utilizar materiales m\u00e1s ligeros. Sin embargo, esto provoc\u00f3 problemas de estabilidad, y los atletas se quejaban de que se torc\u00edan los tobillos al intentar cambios de direcci\u00f3n r\u00e1pidos en los partidos de f\u00fatbol de ritmo r\u00e1pido.<br><br>Tras escuchar las preocupaciones de los atletas, el fundador de PUMA, Rudolf Dassler, busc\u00f3 formas de utilizar esos materiales m\u00e1s ligeros en las botas de f\u00fatbol, pero garantizando al mismo tiempo el mismo nivel de estabilidad y control para los jugadores. El resultado fueron las primeras botas de f\u00fatbol con FORMSTRIP, literalmente una tira de cuero en el lateral de la zapatilla para proporcionar mayor sujeci\u00f3n lateral.<br><br>PUMA solicit\u00f3 la patente del FORMSTRIP a principios de 1958, justo a tiempo para la Copa del Mundo en Suecia.<\/div>\n   <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row image single -->\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnNarrow spacing\">\n\t<div class=\"col\">\n\t<div class=\"0 scrollAnim\" \n\t    \n\t     style=\"Narrow;position:relative;overflow:hidden;\t;\" >\n\t<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\"\n\t    class=\"\"\n\t    src=\"https:\/\/www.puma-catchup.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/1958_Katalog_Titelseite_Formstrip.jpg\" style=\"transition: 0.35s all;height:100%;width:100%;\t    object-position: 50% 50%; object-fit: cover;\"\/>\n\t    <\/div>\n\t\n\t\t<div class=\"descr\">Un cat\u00e1logo de PUMA de 1958 en el que aparecen las primeras zapatillas FORMSTRIP.<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<!-- row text single -->\n<div class=\"gradientnone\">\n<div class=\"row rowSingleColumnWide spacing\">\n    <div class=\"col articleText\">\n        <div class=\"textStyle_quote\" >\u201cLas zapatillas FORMSTRIP sujetan el pie con seguridad sin comprometer la libertad de movimiento y sin ejercer demasiada presi\u00f3n.
