Surpass any defenders on the pitch

Dubbed as a UFO a.k.a. Unbelievably Fast Object, many soccer players attest that 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.

When the shoes get lighter, the moves get tighter

Additionally, a Neoprene sock-like feature found in the internal construction of the shoe allows for a snug fit. Athletes appreciate the 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.

A traction that won't let you down

Some are happy with the anti-slip section on the heel counter 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.

Designed with fit personalization

Many commented that the Umbro Velocita 4 Pro Hard Ground hugs the player’s foot through it’s three-layered upper which lends way to a snug and secure fit. This three-tier construction includes a textile material mixed with TPU element and a Neoprene elastic layer which brings a sock-like fit.
