The Instante II Pro incorporates a lightweight synthetic upper, designed to make this boot both light and durable. The flame-coloured boot also features raised rubber vamps for added ball swerve, this time swirling and sweeping all over the upper.

On the inside of the new Instante is another Reebok technology - Smoothfit lining which combined with a non-slip lightweight sockliner is designed to make the boot move in harmony with the foot and ensure maximum comfort through even the toughest of matches.

Reebok keep faith with a familiar sole plate, as seen on the original Instante. Available in both soft and firm/hard ground stud versions, Reebok have also included both their Power Unit and Power Frame in this boot, providing a solid support for the foot and allowing a one way flex improving shot power.

Power Football Boots - Reebok Valde Pro White/Black/Red - 29/06/09

Editor — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 11:07:00 GMT

Reebok have released the latest version of their Valde Pro football boots, in a new white/black/red colourway. Reebok's power football boots have already received their on-pitch debut, as they were worn by Spain's Iker Casillas during the Confederations Cup.

The power football boots market is certainly competitive, with the likes of Nike Laser and adidas Predator battling it out. So, are the new Reebok Valde Pro football boots good enough to challenge these heavyweights?

The design of the Reebok Valde Pro football boots is a combination of classic material and added technology to improve performance. Predominantly, the upper is made from soft kangaroo leather, the number one natural material when it comes to both comfort and feel for the ball. The actual shape, heel and tongue of the boot is tried and tested, as they provide a similar fit to adidas Predator PowerSwerve football boots.

To compliment the kangaroo leather upper of the Valde Pro football boots, Reebok have incorporated technology where they feel it is appropriate. Assisting ball control is a contoured rubberised Reebok logo down both sides of the boot, and the fore-foot area has a unique printed application to help improve accuracy.

With comfort and ball control accounted for, the Reebok designers turned their attention to generating extra ball power. To compete in the power category the Reebok Valde Pro football boots feature a Power Unit, within the boots sole-plate and visible in our picture below. The Power Unit adds a little extra weight behind every shot, as it is strategically placed to compliment the natural momentum generated when a player strikes the ball.

The Reebok Valde Pro football boots settle into a solid heel counter, which not only protects but also gives support during movement. So overall, these football boots have all the components to compete with the big boys. It will be interesting to hear the feedback from wearers when these boots hit the shelves on 1st July, and priced at around £100 they do offer a competitive price.

Speed Football Boots - Reebok Instante Black/Yellow/Red

Editor — Wed, 27 May 2009 09:18:00 GMT

Here are Thierry Henry's new Reebok speed boots for the Champions League final! Henry will be playing in the new Reebok Instante football boots, as he comes face-to-face with fellow Reebok Instante wearer Ryan Giggs.

Who will come out on top, Thierry Henry in the black/yellow/red Reebok Instante football boots or Ryan Giggs in the blue/white/cherry?

The new Reebok Instante football boots are Reebok's entry into the speed boot category. Facing fierce competition from rival brands Reebok have opted to build a boot that is less obsessed about weight, but more about the transition of energy from the legs and onto the pitch, through boot quality and comfort.

The Instante football boots are slim fitting and feature a SmoothFit lining with a non-slip lightweight sockliner. The idea here is that the boot moves in harmony with the foot and is comfortable at all times.

The main upper element features a mesh-style design, with plenty of vamps surely intended to aid swerve, spin and accuracy.

Reebok have included their Power Unit technology, visible in the shot above as the yellow area. This provides a solid support for the foot and allows only a one-way flex of the boot - intregral to improving shot power.

Available in both soft and firm ground sole plates, with the FG featuring 13 moulded rounded studs ideal for firm and hard ground, whilst the SG has 6 removable metal studs ideal for extra grip on softer ground surfaces.

Speed Football Boots - Reebok Instante Cobalt Blue/Neon Cherry

SB Editor — Tue, 26 May 2009 14:04:00 GMT

Introducing the boots the legendary Ryan Giggs will wear at the Stadio Olimpico in the Champions League Final - the new Reebok Instante Pro football boots.

This Cobalt Blue/Neon Cherry colour way will be sported by Giggs whilst Reebok stable-mate Thierry Henry will wear the Black/Neon Yellow editions in the same match. Check out all the photos and info as Reebok look to gate-crash the speed boot sector...

The Instante Pro sees Reebok step into the fierce competition that is the speed boot category. In a category almost obsessed with shaving ounces off the weight, it is good to see substance and comfort is not forgotten and this is where the Instante comes into its own. The boot was never going to compete with the likes of the Puma v1.815 Ferrari or even the Nike Superfly in terms of hitting the scales, but then it is not trying to. What the Instante does do well is take the best elements form existing speed, power and heritage boots to create an overall boot that will appeal to a greater audience.

If comfort is your thing, then you won't be disappointed with the Instante Pro. Coming up on the slim fitting side, the inside of the boot features a SmoothFit lining and a non slip lightweight sockliner. The idea here is that the boot moves in harmony with the foot and is comfortable at all times. The main upper element features a mesh-style design, with plenty of vamps surely intended to aid swerve, spin and accuracy.

Reebok have also included both their Power Unit and Power Frame technology in this boot. Visible on the outstep of the boot and on under the toe area the Power Unit Lite aims to provide a solid support for the foot and allows only a one way flex of the boot - intregral to improving shot power.

Once again bucking the trend for speed boots, the Instante offers a centred lacing system without a lacecover. This reflects the closest to traditional design and feature from this vibrant looking boot. The large Reebok insignia also remains on the external heel counter - a real love it or hate design feature from the Valde Pro.

Available in both soft and firm ground sole plates, with the Firm Ground boot featuring 13 moulded rounded studs ideal for firm and hard ground. The Soft Ground boot has 6 removable metal studs ideal for extra grip on softer ground surfaces.

The Reebok Instante Pro is available from today as a pre-order, hitting the shelves in early July. Both sole plates and colours are expected to retail around £100 GBP.
