Umbro has created a custom pair of Umbro Speciali Eternal boots for the pro player who loves them more than anyone else – Pepe.
If you were wondering what he was wearing in today’s Champions League final, these were the boots. He is also set to wear them Euro ’16 while playing for Portugal, so you sure to see more of them in the coming weeks. The colors of the boot actually come from the Portuguese fans, the crisp White upper is detailed with Red/Green/Yellow through the signature Double Diamond and the heel hit. The insole also features the Portuguese crest.
Here in the US, Umbro boots are not as accessible as they once were. We experienced the Speciali Eternal recently and were heavily impressed – it is a shame they are tough to find since they offer a package that traditional fans would appreciate.
If you are firmly interested in trying to secure a pair, it is always worth searching for Speciali Eternal on eBay to see if pairs pop up or become available at decent prices.
The iconic Speciali was worn by the likes of Alan Shearer, top scorer at the European Championships in 1996 and Michael Owen when he netted a wonder goal against Argentina at the 1998 World Cup.
