With a new year comes a new generation of the New Balance Furon. The v8 has been a long time in the making, with the first edition of the v7 being dropped over two years ago. Coming in with a bang, the first edition v8 thrives in colour and vibrance arriving in a “Hi-Lite Yellow/Energy Red” colourway.
New balance have made it clear that this boot is all about speed, the objective for the new v8 being – get faster. With players getting quicker every day and enhanced boot technology to aid this, New Balance wanted the next generation of Furon to be even faster than the last. And after two years since the release of the Furon v7, they have finally achieved this goal. But it’s not just speed, its speed enhanced, speed plus, speed accelerated.
Crafted with an innovative hypoknit upper featuring full gauge and half gauge knit zones, this boot offers players different sensations across finesse and power strikes. A key new feature of the v8 is the extended strike zone on the instep in the “Energy Red” colour, for optimised ball to boot contact and grip control. It's safe to say this Furon is designed with cutting edge technology like the speed control stud: a stud designed to allow the player the ultimate ground control when performing sharp movements in tight spaces. Although it’s loaded with performance-enhancing technology, this boot is made of a light synthetic upper as to not ‘hold players down’.
Even with a focus on new technology, New Balance have not forgotten about aesthetics. This new colourway will be a standout piece on the pitch in a vibrant colour combination, featuring a bright red graphic across the medial and lateral sides. A favourite piece of the new Furon is the chrome finish to the sole plate, elevating this energetic look.
