Several layers of kangaroo leather give the boot a nice soft feel for an automatic touch as well as a lightweight TPU heel counter for support and stability.  Both of these features give any boot great protection in today’s fast paced game.

This boot will be worn by John Terry and is beautifully designed.

SX Valor Gold

Worn by Deco, it is not as nice to look at as the SX Valor Blue.  Still a nice boot.

SX Valor Ultra Black

My favorite of the three.  I love a traditional looking boot with a modern flare, and this is it.  Umbro’s attempt at adding extra power and swerve to shots.  These boots will be worn by both Terry and Deco and will certainly be a huge hit with players around the globe.

Well we do not only post kits on this page, we also do product reviews for equipment as well.  Today we review the Nike Air Zoom Control II Indoor Boot.  Wow.

This boot is made up of Kangaroo Leather with side lacing to help with striking the ball on the upper.  The famed Nike Air in the midsole and a new gum rubber on the outsole to give the player traction and ball control.

Enough with the technical side of it, this multi-colored boot posses colors such as red, yellow, orange, light blue, lime green, maroon on the heel, pink on the inside and the traditional black toe patch for durability.  On top of that wide array of colors, this thing glows in the dark!  You know, for all those late night street games where no one can see.

I honestly think it will be popular for the kids, but I can not see anyone past the age of 15 wearing this thing in a game.  But I have been wrong before.  Check it out for yourself below, and if you want a pair then head on over to SoccerPro to get them!
