By popular demand. New Balance today released blackout and whiteout versions of the New Balance Furon and New Balance Visaro Cleats to offer players the same boots first worn by Aaron Ramsey and Marouane Fellaini in late 2014.
The boots worn by Ramsey and Fellaini received an "incredible reaction from fans" according to the Boston-based brand, which spurred them to launch four limited edition boots.
Blackout and Whiteout New Balance Furon
This is the blackout New Balance Furon Boot.
The black New Balance Furon Soccer Cleats boast a classic design combining a black base with white brandings, while the whiteout New Balance Furon Boots invert the colors to create a clean design for New Balance's Speed Boot.
Made for players who take chances, the blackout and whiteout New Balance Furon Boots offer the same technologies as the launch paint job. Combining a super-thin lightweight synthetic upper with the trademark FantomFit cage in the midfoot area, the New Balance Furon Boots are as light as possible without loosing the needed lockdown.
Blackout and Whiteout New Balance Visaro
This is the black New Balance Visaro Boot.
Worn by exclusively by Aaron Ramsey from late 2014 until the end of the 2014-15 season, the white New Balance Visaro Boots offer an classy design that will not remain flawless. Worn by all other New Balance Visaro players last season, the black New Balance Visaro Boots are anything but bold.
It's logical that the blackout and whiteout versions of the New Balance Visaro Boots provide the same revolutions as the regular paint jobs. Made for players who create chances, the New Balance Visaro Boots are actually a control boot with a Honeycomb upper structure, which is reported to be similar to the first-gen Nike Hypervenom Phantom.
Global Head of New Balance Football, Richard Wright, spoke ahead of the official release of the Blackout and Whiteout colourways: “These boots have a special importance to New Balance – they’re modelled on the prototype boots that New Balance Football pro players first debuted on the pitch. The reaction to these boots has been overwhelmingly positive and giving the public what they want is a big part of what this brand stands for. This release is a great moment for us, sharing with the public an important part of our development.”
The black and white New Balance Visaro and Furon Soccer Cleats are available from October 6 at selected retailers, retailing at the same price as the regular colorways of the boots.
