Umbro has just unveiled its new football boots – a range of speed boots designed for players who dare to make a difference and embrace an innovative concept. This new generation of the Velocita draws directly on Umbro’s extensive experience on the pitch, but also marks a significant shift in the range’s identity. This time, the British brand is moving away from its more classic approach to embrace a far more innovative design and revolutionary technologies that aim to offer footballers superior performance in every move.

Umbro’s new football boots directly replace one of the speed ranges that made the least impact in the world of football boots: the Umbro Velocita 4. This is largely due to the heavy investment in marketing by the major brands, which means that firms considered to be smaller, such as Umbro, are often relegated to the background. This is not something that is happening only now, but a situation that has been recurring for years, as many players end up choosing the boots worn by professional footballers without really assessing the quality of the product.
These new boots will receive all the support they deserve from Fútbol Emotion because, as you’ll see below, this is a range into which Umbro has put a great deal of effort and hours of development. The result is a virtually perfect boot. And yes, they’re UMBROs. We’re not talking about just any brand: Umbro has been living and breathing football since 1924 and, in recent years, has regained prominence thanks in part to its commitment to futsal with ranges such as the Chaleira Pro futsal shoes. A brand that breathes football, lives for football and has its own footballing DNA.
Umbro Velocita V football boots
These boots have been designed for players whose game is based on speed and who need to move quickly in all directions on the pitch. The upper is made from a high-quality synthetic material that Umbro calls ‘Memory Flex’. This material provides a more dynamic fit, as it allows the upper to expand and adapt precisely to the foot’s natural movements.
On the outside of the boot there is a layer of TPU featuring an ‘auxetic’ pattern, designed to allow the synthetic material of the upper to stretch in different directions. This enables the boot to adapt better to the foot’s movements and provide a more dynamic fit during the match.
The outsole features the same design as that found on the Umbro Medusae, a sole already known as Sprint+. It is made from Pebax, an ultra-lightweight material that stands out for its flexibility and, at the same time, its high durability. It combines conical and triangular studs to provide better traction both when accelerating and during the most abrupt stops. Boots designed and manufactured for true sprinters.
The outer surface of the counter is covered with the same synthetic material as the upper, which further enhances the boot’s comfort and provides greater support and protection whilst moving around the pitch.
At its core, football is nothing more than 22 people, one white ball and 44 pairs of black football boots, and that is precisely what we’re here to talk about today: some of the black boots currently available which, to a greater or lesser extent, connect us with the purest essence of the sport.
Pink is back for Real Madrid’s third kit, and this time they’ve given it that distinctive touch that all the fans love so much. Let’s take a closer look.
