Vincent Kompany Trains in New Balance Football Boots
Vincent Kompany of Manchester City is the newest player to switch to the new unreleased New Balance Football Boots, set to be launched soon. New Balance will replace its brand Warrior Football in 2015.
The New Balance 2015 Football Shoes have already been worn in training and matches by the likes of Marouane Fellaini, Samir Nasri and Aaron Ramsey during the last weeks. The first New Balance soccer cleats released in many years feature a synthetic upper with a honeycomb structure to improve ball control under all conditions.

The match against CSKA Moscow was probably the last match in which Kompany wore Warrior Football boots, ahead of a switch to New Balance in the next Premier League match against Swansea on Saturday.
