New Balance Football this morning officially unveiled the first boot to be made in its manufacturing facility in Flimby. The MiUK is a classic leather boot, released as limited edition and available from tomorrow.
General Manager of New Balance Football Richard Wright said, "The MiUK ONE is a testament to where we have come from and where we want to be as we continue to grow in the football sector. It has been great to work with our professional development team at Flimby, who have over 30 years of experience of manufacturing high quality footwear in the UK. Everyone at New Balance is extremely proud of the MiUK ONE and I am sure it will prove to be extremely popular amongst boot collectors and players alike."
Together with the release, New Balance also announced the opening of a professional development facility for its sponsored footballers at the Flimby factory. The facility allows New Balance to work even more closely with their pro players like Aaron Ramsey and Álvaro Negredo to shape their future boot designs and developments.
New Balance MiUK Boots - Black / White / Red
This is the brand-new New Balance MiUK soccer cleat.
Combining the main colors black and white with striking red details, the MiUK ONE soccer boot is a classic boot with a modern twist that reminds us of Adidas' Copa Mundial boot. The boot comes with a large N on the instep and the outstep and the lettering Made in England along the Union Jack on the instep. The design is inspired by heritage New Balance boot styles.
The MiUK ONE soccer boot is for made players who appreciate craftsmanship and who celebrate quality. The leather upper and faux flip leather tongue bring a light but strong material finish designed to perform in the modern game. This complements the incorporation of the Visaro Pro outsole, which adds to the key performance elements of the boot. The design also incorporates a padded insert in the tongue and removable cushioned footbed for unsurpassed comfort.
Limited to 2,000 pairs and packaged in exclusive MiUK boxing, the boot is accompanied by a premium quality cotton Made in UK boot bag, boot polish and a boot brush to ensure owners can maintain the condition of their limited edition boots for years to come. The MiUK ONE football boot will be on sale from 8 December with selected retailers worldwide and online.
