A lot of you guys may not know the state NB was in before, so let me tell you about it before moving onto the boots.
New Balance, Umbro and Lotto are considered First Class genres, meaning they are really good companies, but just below the surface of Premium, being Nike, Puma and Adidas.
New Balance was once considered to be a Premium boot company, but only because of Tim Cahill and Vincent Kompany. Sadly, now that they are about to retire, their reputation suffered tenfold. For about 6 years they have lossed more than they have gained.
A Savior In The Form Of Sadio Mane…
But, in late 2017, an African soccer star, who recently received Africa’s player of the year award, Sadio Mane, entered professional football. He was interested in New Balance, mostly because of his idol, Vincent Kompany, and decided to become the face of NB.
The boots…
The sixth gen has the colorway of Liverpool, bearing Mane’s initials on the bottom right corner of the sole. It has hypertension coils around the tongue of the boot, providing more comfort and extra padding around the exterior for a more pleasant touch.
The boot also has an interesting facade, showing how the player runs during a match. The padding also acts as repellent, getting the dirt and grass off while the player is in motion. In a way, it is more on the comfort level this time, rather than the furiousity level.
