Umbro Geometra Pro in White/Red/Kingfisher

Umbro Geometra Pro Red White

We have seen some excellent releases from Umbro in recent times, and this colorway release in the Geometra Pro range continues to increase their stock. This is officially the White/Red/Kingfisher colorway, as debuted over the past few weekends in the EPL – you might have spotted players such as Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson wearing them.

Umbro offered us a unique opportunity to own a pair of the new colorway, before they actually hit the US market, which we gratefully accepted! I recently had the opportunity to test the Geometra Pro and was extremely impressed with what they have to offer, so needless to say I expect nothing less of this version.

Exclusive 11vELEVEN Deal!

Subway Print on Wall

You might have spotted the shout-out I gave to the Manchester United Subway print I put up on my office wall last week. Well, after seeing the response it had and having spoken to the guys at 11vELEVEN about it, they have offered up an exclusive deal for SoccerCleats101 readers to get some of their gear for a pretty fantastic once-off price.

They are offering up 3 products in the deal: the Manchester United Subway print, the Arsenal Subway print and the Barcelona Signature Line-Up Tee.

Each are being offered for a final price of only $15, which represents 40-50% off (regularly priced $25-$32). The deal will end this Saturday, the 28th, at midnight and has been limited to 100 pieces for each product. I have also been assured that you are not going to see this deal anywhere else for a while – so it is exclusive!

How to get the deal:

  1. Click on the image below for the product you want to check out.
  2. Add the size that you want to purchase to the cart.
  3. Use the Discount Code SC101 via the box in the bottom left corner.
  4. The price will drop to $15!
  5. Sit back and wait for the awesomeness to arrive at your house.

As you can see from the image above, I have the print hanging proudly in the SC101 office. I purchased the frame it is in for $15 and it took me all of 10 minutes to get on my wall! It looks classy and it has been the first thing people have commented on over the past week when they visit. To see more images of how the framed posters look, check out the 11vELEVEN Facebook page.

Just Arrived – Nike Tiempo Flight

Nike Tiempo Flight arrived

As part of my effort to review the lower tier releases this year, last week I picked up a pair of Nike Tiempo Flight. Having had them a few days, I have barely let them out of my sight. “Why?” you ask. Well, to be quite frank, from first impression these boots absolutely rock. Everything about them oozes class and they look/feel fantastic – yet they are not the high end release in the series!

The Tiempo Flight has a retail of $120, although you can pick up a pair for $90 right now. The best part about the Metallic Summit White/Metallic Gold Grain/Volt pair I picked up is the pretty fantastic $34 final price, which I got via the recent soccer.com sale (now, that is what you call a steal!)

Puma Speed Star

A pair of Puma Speed Star’s arrived in the door last week, and although I haven’t had an opportunity to test them yet, I did get a chance to snap some sweet shots of them. Over the past few days I have spotted some ridiculous deals on them – so it seems like a good time to at least give you some feedback right now on what to expect from them, with a full review to follow.

The pictured pair are the New Navy/Fluo Orange/PUMA Silver colorway.

Umbro GT2 Pro in Black/White/Acid Green

The second colorway in the Umbro GT2 Pro has been released and this one continues Umbro’s attempts to capture the attention of the market with outlandish designs! The official colorway is a Black/White/Acid Green, with the colors blending together in a very unusual fashion throughout. The black area also looks like it has some green running through it to double up the virtuoso effect! I am interested to see exactly how these look in person.

Diadora DD Eleven in Silver/Royal/White

Diadora DD Eleven Silver

No stranger to audacious colorways, this latest release in the Diadora DD Eleven range is designed for players who are brimming in confidence and not afraid to have other players laugh at their style! I have to be honest, these things just look plain old funky. Given the fact that the DD Eleven is a solid performer with a very functional soleplate (NET Breathing System), it seems that Diadora are banking on unique looks to grab a section of the market – this version comes in a Silver/Royal/White.

Lotto Fuerzapura II Review

Lotto Fuerzapura II

Lotto Fuerzapura - White Cyber Yellow Colorway

Even though they don’t compete with the top ranges on the market, lotto continue to produce top class releases that offer optimal performance to professional players. You only need to look at Italy’s Serie A and the number of players wearing Lotto there as an example of their appeal. This latest release, the Lotto Fuerzapura II, falls into the Power category while offering a solid mix of technology, lightness and precision. I picked up a pair of size 9US in the offbeat White/Cyber Yellow/Black colorway for testing.
