Umbro bring their silo game in-line by hitting the UX 2.0 and Velocita with the "Shocking Orange" brushes as the second-generation UX boot receives a third colour up since its launch last month.
Umbro's objective was to create the ultimate boot for those players who control the game in the middle of the park and the UX 2.0 is a blend of strength with dynamism. The 'Control' market has shaken up in recent seasons as the Predator & CTR series bowed out and Umbro have seized an opportunity by designing a boot worthy of building on a new era of control.
Made up of light, breathable material, its one piece upper has been produced to carry the strength needed to withstand tackles while being soft enough to retain that crucial feel for the ball and thus maintaining all round control when in possession. As well as that, the re-engineered A-Frame offers stability and the outsole contains Conical studs for superior traction, helping players to change direction fast.
Another key new technology is the 'Touch Control Zone', which is 3D printed for maximum grip and that's joined by a dual density heel counter with integrated flex spine to cushion the heel and safeguard the Achilles.
