Features of the Umbro Velocita 4 Pro Hard Ground
- Dubbed as a UFO a.k.a. Unbelievably Fast Object, the Umbro Velocita 4 Pro Hard Ground soccer cleat is designed for agility on the pitch. The upper of this soccer cleat is made with a lightweight material which is a combination of two different elements - a textile material fused with a TPU element.
- Additionally, a Neoprene sock-like feature found in the internal construction of the shoe allows for a snug fit. The result of this is a three-layer construction which allows for flexibility and an ultimate foot lockdown. This sock-like material is also apparent in the third generation Umbro Velocita Pro HG shoe. A central lacing system is also included in the soccer cleat’s construction to further its fit.
- In the heel counter, an anti-slip section is included in the shoe’s construction to aid foot security and lockdown during fast play.
- Similar to the Umbro Velocita 2 Pro HG soccer cleat, the outsole of this shoe model is created from a Pebax-based material. This material is also what’s used on the highly popular Nike Mercurial Superfly VI Elite FG. The soleplate features a stud configuration which has a total of twelve studs placed in the heel and forefoot areas. The studs used are a combination of conical and arrow-shaped ones. The material and stud pattern used is made for durability and traction in firm ground courts.
