The Umbro Speciali R Pro is the latest addition to Umbro’s popular Speciali range, Umbro have given this classic boot a modern makeover.

The Speciali range from Umbro are famed for there classic styling, use of high quality materials and comfort whilst maintaining the ability to perform at the highest level.

The Speciali R are made from a new special leather material named “Kanga Touch” this is lighter than the normal K-leather used on the older models of the Umbro Speciali. The Kanga Touch material offers great touch and feel for the ball, along with feeling solid. The front of the upper features retro stitching that adds to the classic look of the boot.

The Umbro Speciali R is available in both soft ground and firm ground models, the soft ground Speciali features an anatomic 6 stud sole plate offering great traction on all soft ground. The firm ground Speciali features a great TPU sole plate with round studs ideal for firm to hard surfaces.

New features on the Speciali R Pro.

The Speciali still features the A-Frame structure along with a few modern tweaks, such as the new low profile tongue that makes the Umbro Speciali R different to the rest of the range. The A-Frame is designed to bring both sides of the boot together, adding extra comfort and stability when moving and striking the football.

At JustSocca we think Umbro have done a good job in breathing life into this old classic, the introduction of the new Kanga-Touch material makes the boot lighter by someway, overall the boot should be a big hit with footballers who prefer old school styling and the great price will make the Umbro Speciali more attractive.

What Robbie Savage thinks.

“Specialis have been the boot of choice for some of the biggest names in the game for a very long time. This new version looks and feel just as soft as the others – though I am not 100% sure about the loop over the laces but a classic boot with a modern twist!”

The Umbro Speciali R Pro is priced at £80 RRP in both soft ground and firm ground models. They are available at ACA Sports from £64.95.
