Stealth
Umbro’s new Stealth boot is being worn by Arsenal’s Gael Clichy and Everton’s Phil Jagielka, among others. The lightweight Stealth has a moulded design
with enhanced insole cushioning and a small tab in the tongue to allow for a
flush fit and greater comfort, Umbro says. A ‘unique’ last is said to provide streamlining and speed, and micro-fibre air pockets in the synthetic leather add flexibility. The Stealth is available in a wide range of colourways.
