Nike Phantom GX 2
Nike has combined the best of two previous designs to deliver the newest addition, Nike Phantom GX 2. The previously separate GX (low cut) + Luna (sock fit) have fused, including an all-new Cyclone 360 soleplate (located near the toes), which allows players to move with agility and precision on the field.
Key Technology:
- Gripknit – a textured upper that provides precise grip whether you're passing, shooting, or dribbling.
- Nike Cyclone 360 soleplate – engineered to optimise traction, letting you pivot, turn, and accelerate with agility and confidence.
- Asymmetry in the collar and heel creates a comfortable feel, while stretchy Flyknit provides a cleaner boot-to-ball connection and snug fit.
- A repositioned lacing pattern allows for increased midfoot adjustability to accommodate players with flatter or higher arches.
Puma Future 7
Inspired by the flair and creativity of Neymar Jr, the Puma Future 7 boot has been designed with three key tech improvements, including a completely revamped FUZIONFIT360 system positioning to lock the foot in like never before.
Key Technology:
- PWRTAPE – which now comes in the shape of a Y instead of the previous zig zag.
- PWRPRINT – the textured dots on the instep of the boot, which have different levels of thickness to provide more stability or flexibility in key areas.
- The revamped FUZIONFIT360 system crafted with dual mesh and stretchy knit creates an adaptive, secure fit with or without laces.
- Outsole stud arrangement ideal for natural and synthetic surfaces.
Adidas Predator
We all love a blast from the past, and the latest Adidas Predator boot is nothing short of nostalgic with a nod to previous models. The latest boot sees a return of the iconic colours synonymous with Predators – Core Black/White/Solar Red.
Key Technology:
- Advanced STRIKESKIN rubber fins have been added for pinpoint shot accuracy from any distance.
- CONTROLFRAME 2.0 (a new lightweight, full-length outsole) is engineered for stability when making your shot.
- Moulded HYBRIDTOUCH 2.0 upper and a floating tongue with a secure laced lockdown for an adaptive fit.
- At just 195g, the laceless model is the lightest Predator boot ever made.
ASICS Lethal Tigreor IT FF 3
For those who are looking for the ultimate connection to the ground, the Asics Lethal Tigreor IT FF 3 delivers in spades. With a blend of kangaroo leather and synthetic leather quarter panels, the revamped upper design and model overhaul showcase ASICS' signature comfort and support.
Key Technology:
- Moulded sock liner for increased comfort and a personalised fit, allowing for greater agility and control on the field.
- HG10MM technology places the heel in a raised position to reduce the stress on lower limbs.
- FLYTEFOAM technology in the midsole provides lightweight cushioning, reducing fatigue and providing improved comfort.
- New outsole tooling featuring smaller and sharpened studs provides improved support and flexibility, perfect for agile movements on the field.
New Balance Furon Pro V7
The New Balance Furon Pro V7 is a football boot designed for the modern striker seeking explosive speed and precision on the pitch. Boasting a sleek and aerodynamic silhouette, these boots feature a lightweight yet durable design that enhances agility and responsiveness. A noticeable change from the previous model is the placement of the New Balance 'N' logo, shifting from the forefoot to the midfoot, ensuring uniformity remains across both models.
Key Technology:
- A lightweight yet supportive Hypoknit with mesh lining upper construction is paired with off-set lacing, creating a wider zone for a truer ball strike.
- 3D moulded insole with Infinigrip lining keeps feet comfortable and secure.
- A nylon outsole with a V-shaped stud configuration is engineered specifically for use on firm ground.
