Revolutionizing the Football Pitch: The ALD and New Balance Collaboration
Introducing the ALD’s first venture into the world of football with a unique take on the New Balance Furon. This innovative collaboration is endorsed by none other than Bukayo Saka.
The Need for Speed and Precision
In football, opportunities can be fleeting, which is why being quick on the attack is crucial. The Furon 7+ Pro FG is designed to deliver accuracy and precision at high speeds. It’s a lightweight boot with a supportive Hypoknit mesh lining upper construction. It further features off-set lacing for a truer ball strike, and a nylon outsole with a V-shaped stud configuration, specifically engineered for firm ground use.
An Expression of Refined Aesthetic
The Furon 7+ is a fusion of the brand’s sophisticated aesthetic, spiced up with early 2000s performance design touches. The boot’s upper is covered in a gradient application of the signature Aimé Leon Dore green, gold, and white colorway, transitioning from toe to heel to symbolize future victories.
Inspiration from the 2000s
The ‘Aimé’ and ‘ALD’ branding are applied in a 2000s-inspired ‘sport’ typeface, adding a technical twist to the classic feel of the colorway.
Signature Details
Bukayo Saka’s signature logo is featured at the heel, and a graphic sockliner features the ‘Aimé’ wordmark.
