Following its early reveal last week on EA Sports FC 25, New Balance has now officially unveiled the special edition ‘Irmão’ Tekela Pro FG V4+ for rising Brazilian star Endrick, paying tribute to the young talent’s roots in Valparaíso De Goiás.
A nod to both his hometown and the values that drive him, Endrick’s second signature edition Tekela from New Balance celebrates the cultural heartbeat of Goiás with striking design details and a meaningful backstory. The name ‘Irmão,’ meaning ‘brother’ in Portuguese, holds deep significance, as it’s used in the official anthem of Valparaíso De Goiás, Endrick’s home city. The boot's design pays homage to the vibrant flag and natural landscape of the city, blending premium materials with powerful symbolism.
The ‘Irmão’ Tekela arrives in a standout metallic gold and emerald green finish, featuring a two-tone striped graphic that mirrors the flag of Valparaíso. Inside, the sockliner is marked with the letter ‘V,’ while the dazzling gold aglets on the laces carry the words Progresso (‘Progress’) and Paz (‘Peace’) in Portuguese, reflecting the core values of the Goiás region. The heel includes a custom Endrick E9 insignia and a fading gradient of the eight-pointed star that represents the state of Goiás, further rooting the design in the local culture.
Ahead of its official debut on the pitch and its real life retail date today, the Tekela ‘Irmão’ Edition made its first appearance in EA SPORTS FC 25 last week. In the game, Endrick is equipped with the boot across all game modes, while players can also unlock it in FC 25’s Clubs mode to wear on their custom avatars. In addition, New Balance has created a full in-game Irmão collection, including a digital-only kit, stadium theme, and vanity items, all available in the Ultimate Team mode.
Senior Director Product of New Balance Football, Kenny McCallum said: “Endrick continues to make enormous strides in his young yet already illustrious career, whilst recognising the importance of his roots. We are honoured to have him in the New Balance family and look forward to seeing him wearing these boots on the real and virtual pitch.”
