Umbro Medusae II Elite - Blue / Yellow
This image shows the second-gen Umbro Medusae II Elite soccer cleat in yellow and blue.
A setup that's been popular not just since the Puma evoTOUCH debuted last year, the Umbro Medusae II combines leather and knit for the upper.
The debut colorway is blue for the most part, with yellow trim and accents along the sides, in the tongue area and the studs.
Alternative colorway - leaked
They feature a half k-leather, half mesh upper that is combined with a one-piece knit tongue and collar solution. Umbro's trademark 'A-Frame' structure in the midfoot stays and should further help to provide lockdown.
According to Umbro, the knit allows for a reduction of weight while improving stability. The Umbro Medusae II Elite boots weigh in at a mere 185 grams.
The sole plate remains unchanged compared to the first gen of the Umbro Medusae and is essentially still the same as on the Velocita.
The Umbro Medusae II Elite cleats will be available from July 28, retailing at EUR 220.

Nike to Sell Long-Sleeve Besiktas Kits From 27-28 Season
Nike is set to introduce commercially available long-sleeve kits for Beşiktaş starting from the 27-28 season. Following the club's major switch from Adidas after 17 years, supporters will finally have direct access to official long-sleeve match jerseys at retail. Big thanks to @ertansuzgun & @Formaholic.
The timing aligns with significant milestone celebrations in Istanbul, as Nike is also planning a special 125th-anniversary collection for Beşiktaş during the 27-28 campaign to mark the club's foundation in 1903. Rather than relying on base layers and compression undershirts, players and fans alike will see dedicated long-sleeve designs included in the lineup.
The development forms part of Nike's wider strategy to bring back commercial long-sleeve authentic shirts across its elite roster from 27-28 onwards. By expanding long-sleeve availability to Beşiktaş, Nike closes the gap on rivals like Adidas and provides the Black Eagles with full top-tier treatment under their new partnership.
