Umbro Speciali Football Boots - Navy/White/Silver

2010-02-02T15:09:00Z

Here is the next release for the Umbro Speciali, a boot that is really growing in stature in the football boots world! Umbro have created a very popular boot that is comfy, offers great ball touch and feel, so we had been waiting to see whether they could release a bolder colourway.

Until now, Umbro have stuck with traditional white or dark shades for their most recent incarnation of the Speciali football boots. But we were of the opinion that to really make an impression in the boots market, Umbro needed to do something different, so we think this metallic blue shade is a great addition to the range.

There are a host of top players across the globe currently wearing Umbro Speciali football boots - including Michael Owen, Diego Capel and Darren Bent. But the Speciali wearers who we think will look good in these new boots are; Real Madrid's Pepe and Chelsea's John Terry and Deco, when they are wearing their respective club's home strips.

The Umbro Speciali football boots have been in existence for a number of years now, but this latest incarnation seems to have made a big impression with the players. Recently, the SoccerBible was fortunate enough to interview Deco and Darren Bent, both players highlighted the comfort and softness of the boot, how great it fits and how it adapts to your feet to provide excellent ball touch.

The upper of the Umbro Speciali football boots is constructed from a super-soft kangaroo leather, the best natural leather available because the material's fibres are densely packed. The benefits of which, are not just the suppleness of the leather and comfort, but also the durability of the material. Further prolonged by the Speciali's unique stitching patterns, which hold the leathers shape and maintain performance.

Complimenting the soft upper and central lacing system is Umbro's unique 'A' frame design, probably the stand-out feature of the Speciali football boots, and finished with a white/sliver trim. The 'A' frames are on both sides of the boots and wrap around the foot to lock the solid heel counter into position, ensuring the support and good fit needed during movement and ball striking.

The new Navy/White/Silver Umbro Speciali football boots tick the boxes for both traditional and modern boot fans with their unique colourway, but perhaps more importantly they are proven to perform at the highest level. Available to pre-order now ahead of a 1st March release, the Umbro Speciali's retail for a very good price of around £80 GBP.

adidas adiPure III Football Boots - Running White/Blue/Gold

2010-01-28T01:00:00Z

Another classy release from adidas, these new White/Blue/Gold adiPure III football boots bring an element of street style to the football pitch!

The adiPure range has established itself as a comfortable performance leather boot, which has become a popular choice amongst playmakers who need to get about the pitch wearing a boot that will offer great ball touch and feel.

These White/Blue/Gold colourways will be the fourth release for the latest incarnations of the adiPure range, and to us they are very reminiscent of adidas original trainers. So they will undoubtedly look good on the feet of such stylish world class players as Kaka, Frank Lampard, David Silva and Xabi Alonso.

What has made adiPure football boots popular, and standout amongst other adidas silos is the supreme quality of their leather upper. An uninterrupted natural kangaroo leather upper, which enhances ball feel and is extremely soft and comfortable. And to improve upon the natural material, the vamp is stitched and tailored to player movement and ball strike, so the leather offers maximum support with minimum stretch.

As the adiPure range of football boots have established quality, some of the redesigned features for the third generation are purely for aesthetically pleasing reasons, such as the adi three stripes and the padded boot collar. But also, the redesigned collar forms part of the new lacing system, because adidas have re-introduced the independent padded tongue, whilst retaining the asymmetrical lacing for a cleaner kicking surface, with flat laces and loop construction to create a smoother ball contact surface.

Another redesigned feature of the adiPure III football boots is the heel counter, which is highlighted as it is now a different colour to the rest of the boot. The external heel counter has been extended for maximum stability and protection, to reduce the stress on the achilles tendon and provide superb comfort. And to maintain the high standards of quality, adidas have used dress leather with a shiny finish around the heel for premium elegance!

These new White/Blue/Gold adidas adiPure III football boots are a great looking addition to a stylish range. They should be available to pre-order from today ahead of a 25th March release, and they should cost around £110 GBP for the SG and £100 GBP for the FG sole plate versions.

adidas F50i Tunit Football Boots - Scarlet/White/Gold

2010-01-28T01:00:00Z

adidas F50i Tunit Football Boots

Here are the latest adidas F50i football boots releases in a new colour way for the speed series.

One of three stunning new releases, the adidas F50i football boots have a striking new colourway which celebrates the UEFA Champions League. And the SoccerBible is your first stop for full and exclusive images, along with all the technical specs you need to know before you splash your cash on a new pair of football boots.

The adidas F50i range has proven to be extremely popular this season, which is largely due to the boots' innovative design and performance attributes, but also because of the striking colourways they have been released in. And these brand new Scarlet editions are without a doubt the most eye-catching release so far.

The F50i range of football boots are the most recent and best-fitting adidas F50 Tunit boots ever! They have a sleek design with a synthetic upper delivering durability, lightweight feel and a second skin for amazing control, along with your choice of studs and chassis.

The upper is made from an innovative material developed by adidas called SprintSkin. The material is a single-skin so it gives a great touch and feel for the ball whilst reducing weight, and its synthetic properties mean it is durable to cope with the rigours of the modern game.

On the in-step the adidas F50i football boots feature a print application, positioned to assist ball control by increasing friction. And to further enhance ball contact, adidas have redesigned the lace-cover which is now thermobonded onto the upper creating a cleaner ball striking surface.

The standout feature of these new adidas F50i football boots is the Champions League star on the lace-cover, with the much coveted trophy imprinted in the centre. Combine this badge with the striking Scarlet colourway, and we think these football boots will be a popular choice amongst the players. We can imagine both Lionel Messi and Arjen Robben wearing these football boots in the competition, but they will look equally as good on the feet of David Villa and Emmanuel Adebayor playing in their respective leagues.

The adidas F50i football boots come with a choice of insoles so you can select between lightweight or comfort, and to further enhance the fit the boots have a padded boot collar and tongue. The clear section at the heel area is made from a stronger and sturdier thermoplastic than the rest of the boot, to provide the support, stability and protection you need and expect from a heel counter.

Unique to the adidas F50 range is the Tunit technology, enabling you to choose between studs or a street outsole, with the interchangeable studs suitable for soft, firm and hard ground surfaces so these boots can adapt and be worn in all playing conditions.

If you're eager to get your own pair of these brand new Scarlet/White/Gold F50i soccer cleats from adidas, they will be available to pre-order from today and are expected to hit the shelves around the 25th March! Costing around £125 GBP for a comfort pack and £100 GBP for the limited Pro-Lite editions.

adidas Predator X Football Boots - Predator Blue/White/Scarlet

2010-01-28T01:00:00Z

When adidas released the Predator X football boots they split opinions and caused a lot of debate. Now adidas have returned with these brand new Champions League football boots, and it seems the Blue/White/Scarlet colourway will re-ignite the debate.

Football boots don't come more iconic than the adidas Predator range, which has been in existence for over a decade and has ten incarnations under their belts. But we're beginning to wonder whether adidas have got to the stage where every release needs to make a statement, because these boots are certainly eye-catching and we'd love to hear your opinion on them.

Putting aside split opinions on how the boot looks, we can all agree that the adidas Predator X football boots are a quality boot designed for power and performance. A host of Predator wearers have been happy to switch into these new boots, as the fit has been improved by adidas, along with a new energy return system that brings more power, swerve and control to every kick.

The adidas Predator X football boots combine uniquely developed Taurus calf leather, a performance leather that combines a natural look and feel with high abrasion qualities, with synthetic Predator technology. The redesigned Predator vamp has been placed in an optimised striking position, and the rubber-silicon mix material provides unique ball contact for constant swerve, control and accuracy.

The adidas Predator X football boots are the first Predator, since the original back in 1994, not to have a fold-over tongue. Instead adidas have removed the tongue, so the Predator X football boots feature a wrap around collar, a fit that combines with the new flattened lacing system.

To help increase shot power the adidas Predator X football boots feature the new Powerspine sole-plate, replacing the previous Powerpulse element. The Powerspine minimises energy loss and maximises power, as it redirects and transfers shot power directly into the ball, by preventing the feet and metatarsals from over-bending.

All three of the adidas new releases tie in with the new Madrid Champions League ball, just like the Rome editions last season. And if you're eager to get your own pair of these striking adidas Predator X football boots, they will be available to pre-order from today, and are expected to hit the shelves from 25th March for around £135 GBP.

Puma PowerCat 1.10 (PWRCat) - Black/White/Wild Lime

2010-01-22T11:00:00Z

Amid plenty of speculation, the SoccerBible lifts the lid on the all new Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots. Set to ignite the power and accuracy category, Puma have listened to players and created a boot to take on the adidas Predator and Nike T90 series at their own game.

The SoccerBible has had the luxury of putting a pair of Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots through their paces, in a series of punishing drills and accuracy tests. But before we bring you our play test, our boot review can officially tell you what to expect from these new boots, as we reveal the initial launch colourway with full and exclusive images of the stealthy Black/White/Lime Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots.

The Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots are a great combination of engineering and comfort, and we can see Puma are making great strides with their boot development. Because, just like the v1.10 speed football boots before them, the PowerCat's are unlike any Puma boot we have seen before.

The injected Puma 3D Power Shooting Technology, the fresh Cat branding and the supersoft kangaroo leather make the PowerCat 1.10 a genuine choice for top professionals such as Michael Carrick and Nicolas Anelka.

The standout feature of the PowerCat football boots is the Puma 3D Power Shooting Technology (Puma 3D PST) located and built-into the boots kicking area. Designed to increase shooting power, while maintaining ball touch and feel, the 3D PST achieves increased shot power through its extremely high rebound properties, absorbing more than the typical amount of energy upon ball impact and releasing more power with every shot.

For comfort, fit and ball feel, Puma have gone with a natural material and used a supersoft, premium kangaroo leather for the boot's upper.

To enhance ball touch, increase the kicking area and improve pressure distribution, the Puma PowerCat football boots feature an off-centred lacing system, as favoured by many top pro players.

To improve fit, the boots have been formed around Puma's new anatomically-shaped PowerLast, an evolution of the Puma AptoLast. Which once again follows the foot's natural contours for a great fit, but provides more volume in the forefoot and instep allowing the upper to mould to the players foot. To further improve fit and comfort, the anatomically shaped removable sockliner provides cushioning and shock absorption.

The outsole of the Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots have an external TPU-injected heel counter. This is lightweight and 'finger-shaped' to cradle the heel of the foot, and provides optimal support and stability during movement and ball striking, whilst offering protection. The outsole also features a new bladed stud configuration, to ensure smooth ground penetration and pressure distribution, while providing maximum traction and manoeuvrability.

The Puma PowerCat 1.10 football boots are a great follow-up to the Puma v-Konstrukt, they are a comfortable boot that is a departure from the chunkier, more protective feel of the v-Konstrukt series. Puma have been able to develop some unique technology within the competitive power and accuracy market, and we'll be keen to see how the PowerCat's perform. These brand new football boots will hit the shelves and pitches from 6th February, and should cost around £125 GBP.

Umbro Speciali - Stuart Semple Deco Limited Edition

2010-01-18T09:00:00Z

The SoccerBible is world renowned for bringing you the best new football boots, and today is no exception with the release of these fantastic limited edition Umbro Speciali soccer shoes - designed for Chelsea and Portugal star Deco!

The boots have had a special print for the sole, designed and created by acclaimed contemporary artist Stuart Semple. Designer Stuart Semple helped to draw up the original shortlist of fifteen for the Speciali competition which ran late last year. Whilst doing so, the creative genuis also designed his very own print entitled 'Believe', which was then transfered onto a boot template and made into a pair of Specialis which also feature the new white/black/gold colourway.

Here’s what Deco had to say about his new soccer shoes:

“It’s fantastic, they’re really different boots with a really great design, and I’m looking forward to wearing them in the next game I play in. I’m sure the other players in the dressing room will be very impressed.”

One thing you know you will get from the Speciali's is superb comfort and an unrivalled fit. We love the new incarnation of the Speciali here at the SoccerBible, and these new limited editions join designs created for Darren Bent, Michael Owen, John Terry and Gael Clichy who all picked their favourites from the competition shortlist.

A very creative pair of boots for a very creative player – if you think you could also do these boots justice on the pitch, a highly limited number are now available to buy from Pro Direct Soccer priced around £100 GBP.

Head this way for more from Umbro as the SoccerBible spoke exclusively to Deco about his new boots and Chelsea's ambitions this season...
