Under Armour Blur CBN III Leather Football Boots - White/Black/Black
To accompany the new Blue/Silver/Strobe Blur CBN III Under Armour have landed a more toned down White/Black/Black combo on their speed silo. Under Armour have catered for the needs of players who aren't keen on synthetic uppers by releasing this paint job in a leather upper...
More players are demanding a lighter boot but without having to sacrifice leather for a synthetic upper. Keeping that leather feel on a boot is vital for some players and Under Armour have delivered a clean looking boot designed with comfort, quality and most importantly speed.
As with the previous colour update the White/Black/Black Blur CBN III boots come with a choice of laces, you can keep the white laces in for a more simplistic vibe or you can lace up in black. Nice touch. The instep of the boot is leather to produce more natural surface for striking and cushioning the ball where as the outstep is made of carbon fibre to keep weight down to a minimum.
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'.
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.
Just like the synthetic versions the Under Armour Blur CBN III Leather 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.
Under Armour are typically an American brand but with their acquisition of Tottenham Hotspur they produced a couple of the best kits in the Premier League last season and with two more top notch Blur III colour combos in the locker they're starting to back it up with their footwear too.
