New Balance today unveiled two new boots as part of their Spring 2021 collection - its latest evolution Furon 6+ alongside a color-up of the Tekela v3.
New Balance Furon 6+ - Vibrant Lime Glo and Citrus Punch - Next-Gen Fit Weave Upper
The 'next-gen' New Balance Furon 6+ is not a whole next generation but is based on the popular New Balance Furon v6. It features New Balance’s next generation Fit Weave upper technology to provide lightweight stability. The enhanced low profile knitted collar is the only tweak to the shape of the boot, offering better lockdown.
Old vs new gen - Furon v6 vs Vuron 6+
A clean and classy look, the New Balance Furon v6 'Twisted Silver' boots are predominantly 'munsell white' with silver metallic accents and brandings.

New Material for UEFA Champions League Patches?
Based on images from Manchester United's recent posts, it appears that the Starball and UEFA Foundation sleeve patches for the 26-27 UEFA Champions League might be moving away from the traditional velvet material. Instead, they seem to feature a noticeably thinner and flatter composition.
Without high-resolution close-ups, the exact material specifications cannot be fully confirmed just yet.
However, this potential shift remains unconfirmed, as other clubs have not displayed this change. Real Betis, for instance, still appeared with standard velvet-textured patches during their recent 26-27 Champions League portrait photoshoot sessions.
We will have to wait for official confirmation and close-up looks once the competition gets underway. Big thanks to @jerseystory_vn for the collage.
Almere City 26-27 Cup Kit Released

The Craft Almere City 2026-27 Cup shirt features a black base with subtle tonal cherry blossom branch motifs across the front. Mint green and pastel pink details add contrast, with a mint crew-neck collar and sponsor branding joined by a pink monochrome club crest, Craft logo and sleeve trims.
