New Balance Furon 2.0 Released – ‘Game On’ or ‘Game Over’

Today, New Balance introduced a second generation version of Furon 2.0. A long awaited update to the market, this version is less fireworks and more “get on the pitch and prove performance”, as fans look to see how this reworked edition has evolved.

What is offer? new Balance use a Bright Cherry Hybrid Mesh Upper that has been engineered for unparalleled speed, exceptional feel and a clean precision strike in all conditions. Brand new to the boot is a Galaxy Sprint Spike inspired Collar, with an asymmetric adaptive fit giving explosive acceleration and outstanding comfort.

Top Line Lacing has been introduced for a locked in and precision fit with unsurpassed comfort along with an ultralight Fantom Fit Bright Cherry overlay for outstanding strength and support when needed most.  Ultra-Directional Studs give unrivaled straight-line speed for those players who have to be first to the ball.

The new Furon will hit the pitch for the first time during the final weekend of the Premier League and La Liga seasons, and will be seen on the international stage in France this summer.

Furon striker and prolific goal scorer Álvaro Negredo said:

I really like the new Furon. New Balance has taken on feedback about the original boot, retaining the best parts but introducing changes that have a big impact. It is extremely light and with the improved support and comfort, holds my foot comfortably when I change direction and hit top speed. I also think it looks great!

When it came to the introductory Furon release, we were definitely one of the biggest critics of the boot. There was no natural feel and the overall composition of the material was too plastic. This latest edition has real promise, with improvements in the areas they were needed. New Balance listened to fan feedback, so we are excited to see exactly what these have to offer on pitch!
