DEBUT DATE FOR UMBRO SX VALOR II ULTRA STILL UNCLEAR

Umbro fans hoping to see the SX Valor II Ultra in action are going to have to wait just a little bit longer.

It was thought that the football boots, which have been specifically designed for both Deco and John Terry to wear in the Uefa Champions League, might get their first outing in Chelsea’s game versus Juventus (managed by former Blues boss Claudio Raineri) on 25th February with a possible second appearance in the return match on 10th March.

However, it’s now been confirmed that neither player will d'©but the boots in the first game. It’s understood that a replacement European date is in the offing, though that of course will require the English side to progress against the Italians over the two legs.

Currently, John Terry uses the SX Valor II in the navy, white and royal colourway (though he has been spotted in an older model in recent weeks) while his team mate Deco favours the white, black and gold.

    I haven’t worn umbros for over 5 years.. But I must say these valors in white and gold are looking pretty good. But true I would like to know more about those black ones, it seems like they are made of the same material as the nike lazer 2. Maybe for a more comfortable strike zone.

    From the soles it looks like they’ve kept the ‘Wishbone’ tech, and I think the upper has retained the Michelin rubber areas for grip – only it covers much more of the boot this time around.

    Interesting stuff – I like the covered laces, but the FG version looks like it’s got way too many studs.

    Also – I know Umbro are owned by Nike now – but did they really have to bring them out in the same colour as the Laser II’s launched in?

    hi guys

    Does this boot has michelin rubber on the front? Is it good for goalkeepers if so, is it good to spring up high for keepers like the F50.9’s. Also, is it a sturdy and safe boot?

    Thanks in advance
