UMBRO STEALTH PRO: BLACK/LIME
Umbro have released a new colourway for their Stealth Pro. The Stealth Pros have been a great success since their release in March.
This new Black/Lime colourway will undoubtedly be a big success in the Premier League. Look out for these on the feet of players such as Gael Clichy, Phil Jagileka and Michael Mancienne.
NEW UMBRO SPECIALI AND STEALTH PRO COLOURWAYS
Umbro recently released new colourways for their Speciali and Stealth Pro boots.
The Speciali has become one of the best Heritage/Touch boots on the market with the likes of John Terry, Deco, Wilson Palacios and Darren Bent sporting them. Umbro held a competition to design the sole plates for players to wear at the World Cup. Judging from the colourways they have been releasing, they don’t need any help with design!
The newest version is a gorgeous looking White colourway with Gold accents around the heel and Wembley inspired “A-frame” arch. We at TRW think this is the best colourway they have released.
You can expect these classy looking White/Gold boots to be available from 1st May.
The other colourway is a Silver/Black version of their newest boot; the Stealth Pro. Arsenal’s Gael Clichy had this to say about the Stealth Pros: “The Stealth is a revolutionary step by Umbro in boot design. They really aid my speed and touch on the pitch with their lightweight material and molded design. I can’t wait to test them against some of the best players in the Premier League.” It is funny that he sang their praise so highly. Clichy hasn’t worn them yet competitively as he continues to prefer his SX Flare football boots. That doesn’t mean they haven’t been a success in the Premier League however. David James has been prolific for Portsmouth in the Stealth Pro while a very interesting boot spot is David Bentley. The Tottenham Hotspur winger has been wearing the original White/Red colourway.
This Silver/Black version is yet another great colourway from the Manchester based football company.

UMBRO STEALTH PRO: ARE YOU FOX OR CHICKEN?
Umbro released a new ad campaign for their latest boot; the Stealth Pro. The video is dark and possibly disturbing as Umbro ask if you are Fox or Chicken. It is not your normal ‘guy kicks ball in slow motion’ ad campaign and will certainly get tongues wagging about their newest creation.
The Stealth Pro is hard to categorise. It is in theory a speed boot but with its low-profile styling, comfortable fit and strong build it is left looking more like a hybrid boot. (Perhaps a direct challenger to the CTR360?) Modern footballers are more ‘all-round’ than they used to be and boots such as the Stealth Pro are gaining respect and desirability more and more.
This is what Umbro had to say: “The new Umbro Stealth boot is designed for players who take the lead on the pitch. A streamlined last and two lateral studs in the middle of the boot offer increased speed, while the carbon fibre shank and heel counter provide the power you need. Combined with cushioned insoles offering comfort, Umbro Stealth has all the assets that a player will need to outfox the opposition.”
