As the 24/25 football season approaches its exhilarating end, all eyes turn to what lies beyond. The football landscape is bursting with anticipation for a summer filled with international fixtures, namely the Euro 24 in Germany and Copa America in the US. Keeping the spirit of these tournaments at heart, New Balance has rolled out sizzling new versions of their Furon v7+ and Tekela v4+ boots, and they are tastefully audacious!
These boots have been graced with a vivid "Bleached Lime Glo" color scheme, which stands in proud contrast to the recently revealed ‘Grey Days Pack’. A complete 180 from the muted, brand-signature palette of the ‘Grey Days Pack’, these new vibrant boots are ready to grab some eyeballs when they grace the feet of our international superstars at the grandest stage. The uniformity is unmissable, as both the Furon and Tekela wear the "Bleached Lime Glo" as their primary hue, while the branding, brought to life in an identical format on both pairs, pops in a contrasting black.
Despite this visual unity, subtle differences abound – the Furon's prominent off-center lacing being the most conspicuous. But to catch these deviations, you'd have to lend a pretty detailed eye. If you're stacking the understated charm of the Tekela against the fiery presence of the Furon, the battle is fierce. But be reminded; the Tekela does have its own high collar, laceless variant that certainly sets it apart, enabling it to shine alongside the Furon.
Now, while the two may mirror each other visually, comparing their actual performance on the ground reveals distinctly varying assets they bring to the table. Dawning the aura of the New Balance Furon V7, well-loved in the mark as an epitome of agility, tailored with a feather-light structure ideated for adrenaline-fueled speed. Graced by talents like Bukayo Saka, its Hypoknit face is meticulously planned to offer strategic stretch areas paired with its unique off-center lacing system.
On the flip side, the Tekela emerges as the brand's crown jewel offering seamless command over the ball, enhancing power, and setting benchmarks for comfort. Accompanied by names such as Liverpool's wonder boy Harvey Elliot and the Brazilian prodigy Endrick. The Tekela exhibits a foot-huggable, stretch-knit face that molds perfectly to the foot's dynamics.
Just by casting one look, the two might be tricky to separate, but with their distinct pitch performance, this duo of boot wonders is not one to be underestimated. And it won't be surprising to see them making their marks in pitches worldwide in the fast-approaching future. Looking to get your hands on these exquisite boots?
