New Balance Drop the ‘Irmão’ Tekela Pro FG V4+

Endrick. One of the brightest talents in world football—and one that New Balance had been tracking for some time before securing him on a deal. The Boston-based brand has gone all-in on this young star, and why wouldn’t they? Endrick’s incredible skills speak for themselves, and New Balance has celebrated his talent by dropping his next signature edition boots at just 18 years of age. Impressive, right?

A Tribute to Valparaíso de Goiás

The official title is the special edition ‘Irmão’ Tekela Pro FG V4+. More than just a boot, it’s a heartfelt tribute to Endrick’s roots in Valparaíso de Goiás, Brazil. The word ‘Irmão,’ which translates to ‘Brother’ in Portuguese, is central to the anthem of his hometown—a reflection of the unity and pride shared by its people.

New Balance has poured emotion and creativity into this edition, creating a boot that speaks to Endrick’s story. From the vibrant metallic gold and emerald green finish inspired by the Valparaíso flag to the printed two-tone graphic, every design detail honours his heritage.

Striking Design Details

The tribute doesn’t stop at the colours. Inside the boot, the sockliner features a graphic marked with the letter ‘V.’ The laces are adorned with gold aglets, inscribed with the words ‘Progresso’ (Progress) and ‘Paz’ (Peace) in Portuguese—representing the core values of Endrick’s community. On the heel, a faded gradient showcases the eight-branched star of the Brazilian state of Goiás.

Finally, the heel graphic features Endrick’s custom E9 insignia logo—a bold mark of his identity and a fitting way to round out this stunning design.

Engineered for Performance

These boots don’t just look good; they perform even better. Designed for modern footballers who demand precision and comfort, the Tekela Pro FG V4+ offers:

• A Hypoknit upper with a low-laced closure to reduce the space between the foot and the ball, giving players a close, intuitive feel.
• A 3D-molded FuelCell insert, which enhances underfoot comfort and provides a propulsive feel with every step.

Super comfortable and undeniably flashy, these boots are as functional as they are stylish.

Endrick’s Signature Moment

Speaking about the release, Kenny McCallum, Senior Director of Product at New Balance Football, shared:

“Endrick continues to make enormous strides in his young yet already illustrious career, while recognising the importance of his roots. We are honoured to have him in the New Balance family and look forward to seeing him wearing these boots on the real and virtual pitch.”

With his star rising rapidly, this boot marks another milestone in Endrick’s journey so far.
