The Umbro Pro 5 and Pro Challenge football boots celebrating the Dragon New Year in Asian cultures are now on sale starting from R$549.99
Umbro opens the 2024 launches in Brazil with a new product full of energy: the new Dragon Year package. In line with the Year of the Dragon in Asian cultures, the brand delves into this universe to present two new variations of the famous futsal shoe, the Pro 5.
The Dragon Year pack boots are now on sale on the brand’s website and in partner stores, in limited quantities, for R$649.99 for the Pro 5 model and R$549.99 for the Pro Challenge, both accompanied by special packaging and an extra recording option for customization.
Celebrating the classic symbolism of the Chinese dragon, the Pro 5 features an all-red colorway highlighted by gold and white details, including the Umbro symbol. The Chinese calligraphic inscription representing “Dragon” adds a touch of authenticity.
Featuring Bump technology, the Pro 5 has a textured EVA compound in the outsole, midsole and insole, offering edge-to-edge cushioning and reduced impact on joints.
PRO Challenge for outdoor sneakers
The second model, Pro Challenge, recently launched by Umbro, combines style and functionality with an aesthetic that speaks to streetwear. Completely black, with red and gold details, the boot boasts an asymmetrical upper, combining natural suede and laminate material with strategically placed reinforcement stitching.
The ultra-soft EVA midsole and the non-slip translucent rubber “box” sole guarantee comfort and grip. Both boots feature classic Chinese dragon designs on the upper and outsole, celebrating the Year of the Dragon in an aesthetically balanced way.
Eduardo Dal Pogetto, brand director of Umbro in Brazil, underlines the inspiration behind Dragon Year: “The Year of the Dragon is intrinsically linked to the will and belief in achieving goals, even seemingly impossible ones. We try to convey all this knowledge and strength to a high-level shoe, ready to be adopted by the most skilled and intelligent athletes on the pitch, bringing the ‘dragon’ inside each of them.”
