Haven't seen these posted yet. They're being called the Umbro Geometra Pro by SoccerReviews.com. They say they're suppose to rival the CTR360 line, but I reckon they're a power boot instead. They have some gripping material on the toebox, although it looks a bit like some sort of fuzzy cotton or something...
Well it looks as if the inside of the boot has a "pass pad" while the top of the outside of the boot has a "dampening pod" too so maybe they are just Umbro's CTR.
shamelessly CTR wannabe!!! hehehe I say we all try to guess what ECZ means... I say... enhanced control zone...
People do remember that Umbro is owned by Nike, so it makes sense that the designs are similar? Also look at the studs and then look at the Laser IV studs. Same?
are those the ones with that kanga-lite material? i recall someone on here saying umbro had a boot with a material similar to kanga-lite..
Yeah I know they are owned by Nike which is why I believe it is a CTR-like boot and Umbro have one of their current boots using that material which is like (probably almost exactly) kanga-lite. Not sure whether it is the Speciali, GT or Stealth Pro though.
I thought the same thing, but in that picture of the lateral side of the boot you can see that instead of being like an interact plate where the 2nd and 3rd stud along the edge of the boot are perpendicular to the 1st and 4th, they are actually more like an adiPure soleplate where the studs are all facing the same direction.
Actually it looks like the outside blades all face the same direction, but that the two middle blades on the instep face in at a 45 degree angle. I don't mind that it is very similiar to the CTR, especially since Umbro is owned by Nike. I love the idea of a k leather CTR. I'm just not a fan of synthetics.
I agree on the synthetics part. I noticed that about the medial angle of the soleplate too. In fact, I'd say it's more similar to the Diadora Kobra K than anything else.
If you want to know more about the Geometra, just look it up in the umbro fall/winter 2011 http://www.e-magin.se/v5/viewer/files/viewer_s.aspx?gKey=v3rzg4p5&gInitPage=1
Yeah, saw those yesterday. They look evil with the blackout upper and a little red on the bottom. Wish they release them in that colorway, but I doubt it...
Nice yellow Umbro Gt's on that catalogue too! Looks like the Geometra's are going to be be umbro's most expensive boot
Looks like a Stealth from the side, and the inner probably comes from the older Umbro's that had those "Shot-Fields". So what some say that they steal it from Maestris, will just be BS. Hahahaha, btw...the guy on page 18 in that Umbro-magazine is one of the first to be voted out from Paradise Hotel in Norway this year xD Actually wonder why he is there, while the rest of the people there from Norway plays football
Those Umbros are some of the best looking new boots I've seen. The angle of the top photo reminds me of Concaves.
