New Balance has gone into stealth mode, dropping a new limited edition version of the Furon v5 and Tekela v2. A few months back, it was the Infinite Lite pack; this time around it is the Infinite Dark Pack.
This is a pack that takes inspiration from the galaxy’s black holes – where gravitational pull is so great that light cannot escape. Black holes relentlessly dominate everything around them, just like “visionary” Tekela and “lightning” Furon players.
We have seen NB go into blackout mode before, but there is the added layer of iridescent detailing on the signature N and across the soleplate that gives you a little extra pizazz. Given the succees of both silos in recent times (we have testing boot with plenty of positives to report) this limited edition pack is sure to strike the right cord with fans.
TEKELA is made for UNTOUCHABLE playmakers and innovators, who are fearlessly creative. Touch, feel and maneuverability are at the heart of the design. The boots’ key attributes are:
- A full foot microfiber upper and Kinetic Stitch embroidered bands for foot lock-down and stability.
- Firm ground conical studs providing 360° rotational traction for incisive turning.
- An elasticated mid-cut mesh collar with silicone print detailing for ultimate locked in feel.
- A supple PU microfiber synthetic upper for superior touch.
- Weigh in at 8.8oz.
Available for $219.99 at soccer.com.
FURON V5 is for UNSTOPPABLE attackers who play with speed, power and precision. The boots’ key attributes include:
- FantomFit frame technology for clean, deadly strikes at goal.
- Outsole designed for acceleration, featuring TPU with inlayed nylon chassis for increased stiffness.
- Hidraskin film for durability and to make them water repellent.
- Elasticated lightweight stretch mesh with PU coating for superior comfort and feel.
- Weigh in at 8.2oz.
