Under Armour Blur CBN III Football Boots - Royal/Silver/Strobe
After landing their third generation Blur CBN III back at the turn of the year Under Armour have bided their time with releasing colour updates on their speed boot but the American brand have now dropped a cool Royal/Silver/Strobe combo on the Blur series ahead of the new season...
The Under Armour Blur CBN III football boots are a noticeable step up in design and performance from the previous Blur II. Newly engineered and constructed to compete with the lightest and fastest boots in the game, the Blur CBN III could be Under Armour's best football boot yet and this fresh speedy colour drop looks the business. 
The modern day speed boot must meet certain criteria. The Under Armour Blur CBN III has made its intentions known by smashing its previous weight barrier. Now weighing just 177g, the boot has the credentials to stand alongside the f50 adizero, Mercurial Vapor IX, evoSPEED 1.2 and Morelia Neo. This is Under Armour's first true speed boot. 
The dramatic loss in weight for the third generation Under Armour Blur lies in the boots upper material. Under Armour have used a newly engineered microfibreELITE material - a lightweight upper that wraps around the foot in design offers extremely thin and flexible properties for a great fit and feel. The new colourway might even be enough to persuade Tottenham's Benoit Assou-Ekotto out of his custom gold Blurs.
In unique fashion, the Under Armour Blur CBN III incorporates carbon fibre into the outsole and lateral side of the boot. Carbon fibre 'lateral wings' have been designed to eliminate foot roll. Combined with an off-centre lacing system and an anatomical heel construction, the Blur Carbon III delivers one of the most secure, supportive and stable boot designs in the game. In Under Armour's words, they're 'the ultimate direction-changing machine'.
The boots come with a choice of laces, the black ones, as featured in our photography or in purple to match the studs. For the outsole, Under Armour use carbon fibre combined with a Pebax plate to offer enhanced lightweight support and stability in the heel and mid-foot when making sharp lateral movements. Five conical studs feature across the forefoot, combining with a more balded design towards the mid-foot and heel area.
The Under Armour Blur CBN III offers plenty of cushioning and under-sole protection. A 4D Foam foot-bed provides optimal comfort while reducing boot pressure. The insole keeps you lower to the ground, increasing stability and shock absorption. A bottom layer of Micro G provides additional support and responsiveness.
