Goodbye Nike? Liverpool Star Sadio Mané Trains in All-New, Never-Seen-Before Next-Gen New Balance Furon 4.0 2018 Boots
In December 2017, Liverpool striker Sadio Mané has been spotted wearing New Balance Furon 3.0 football boots in training, suggesting that a switch from Nike and their Mercurial boot to New Balance is close. Now the Senegalese international laced up in what is the next generation of the New Balance Furon soccer cleats.
Sadio Mané Trains in Next-Gen New Balance Furon 4.0 Boots
These are the next generation of the New Balance Furon football boots.
An all-new design for New Balance's speed boot, the New Balance Furon 4.0 boot features a never-seen-before lacing system that lower part comes with no laces at all. The upper of the cleats also seems to be completely new.
The New Balance Furon 4.0 could start a new era for New Balance's speed football boot silo that has been not very popular amongst players because of the low quality of the two first generations.
The next-gen New Balance Furon 4.0 football boots are set to drop in the coming months.
However, while Mane laced up in the fourth generation of the New Balance Furon boot in training, he still uses the Nike Mercurial Vapor XI in official matches.
What do you think of the New Balance Furon 4.0? Let us know in the comments below.
