Umbro Speciali Eternal Boots Released
Forever leather. The new Umbro Speciali Eternal 2015 Leather Football Boots introduces a timeless design for Umbro's most iconic boot. Real Madrid defender Pepe headlines the new Umbro Speciali Eternal Cleats, which were officially released on July 1.
In times when football boots are anything but extremely robust and durable, the new Umbro Speciali Eternal Leather Boots offer players a heritage design featuring the latest technologies and performance insights.
Umbro Speciali Eternal Pro Black / White / Blue Clematis
This is the new classic Umbro Eternal 2015 Soccer Boot.
The new Umbro Speciali Eternal Boot combines the classic main color black with white applications and slick blue details on the heel area. The classical design of the new Umbro Speciali Eternal includes the iconic Double Diamond on the outstep and the instep of the boot, while the golden lettering Speciali is printed on the fold-over tongue. It's an instant classic.
It was April 2015 when Real Madrid defender Pepe laced up in mystery blackout boots featuring a bold fold-over tongue during several Real Madrid training sessions. It's now confirmed that Pepe was not wearing a decades-old boot, but a black-out version of the Umbro Speciali Eternal.
The new Umbro Speciali Eternal Cleats boast a traditional fold-over tongue to make a bold statement on the pitch. In the past years, the fold-over tongue almost became extinct as the brands ditched the iconic tongue to reduce weight. Umbro now re-introduces classic tongue with the new Umbro Speciali Eternal Boot.
The Umbro Speciali Eternal Boot features a super soft Kangaroo leather upper with traditional stitching for ultimate control and durability. The A-Frame overlay in the midfoot area of the new Umbro Speciali Eternal Boots is made for more stability, and the dipped Achilles heel is designed to reduce pressure.
Designed for ultimate comfort, the new Umbro Speciali Eternal Soccer Boots feature a new Wishbone sole plate with 13 traditional conical studs.
The new Black / White / Blue Clematis Umbro Speciali Eternal Pro Boot retails at 90 GBP and is available from today at selected retailers.
However, competition is strong in the heritage boot market. The new Umbro Speciali Eternal competes with the iconic Adidas Copa Mundial and the Nike Premier.

Good or Bad? Rexona Armpit Sponsorship on 2026 World Cup Referee Shirts
Update - Tuesday, June 23, 2026: Following our publication, Rexona contacted us to provide additional context on the activation.
According to Ben Curtis, Global Brand Vice President for Rexona at Unilever, the sponsorship is intended to highlight fourth officials, who "may not always be the focus of attention but are at the centre of some of football's most intense and anticipated moments," as part of Rexona's "It Won't Let You Down" campaign during the FIFA World Cup 2026. "They need to remain cool and calm under pressure - That's exactly why this partnership is such a natural fit for Rexona."
The 2026 World Cup referee shirts feature one of the most amusing and strategic sponsorship placements seen in football. Deodorant brand Rexona has their logo positioned directly under the armpits of the match officials' jerseys, creating a highly contextual advertising opportunity.
The Rexona logo remains largely hidden during regular play but becomes clearly visible whenever a referee raises their arms to signal a free kick, award a penalty, or issue a card. This placement perfectly matches the deodorant product being advertised, resulting in a memorable piece of marketing on the sport's biggest stage.
While this specific placement has caught the attention of fans during the 2026 tournament, it is not entirely unprecedented. A similar concept was previously executed in Brazil, where Avanço deodorant sponsored the armpits of Corinthians. However, Rexona's execution at a World Cup brings the clever concept to a massive global audience.
