New Balance Furon v8 Elite FG
The New Balance Furon v8 Elite FG are elite level football boots built for players who rely on speed and clean striking. Designed for firm natural grass pitches, they suit serious club and representative footballers who want a responsive boot for match day and high intensity training. This model is part of the Infinite Light Boot Pack in White and is available in store and online at Players Sports NZ.
If your game is about getting in behind, finishing chances and accelerating into space, the Furon v8 is made for that role.
Built for Pace and Clean Contact
The lightweight Hypoknit upper uses full and half gauge knit zones to balance structure and flexibility. On foot, that means a close wrap through the midfoot with enough give in the forefoot for natural movement at speed.
The off set lacing creates an uninterrupted strike zone and extends the contact area across the forefoot. In real match situations, that gives you a truer connection when striking through the ball, whether you are finishing first time or hitting from range.
Secure Fit at Speed
The low profile Hypoknit collar delivers a secure lockdown feel without excess bulk around the ankle. Combined with the redesigned heel package, the fit is snug through the rearfoot and reduces internal movement when you are sprinting or changing direction.
For players who train multiple times a week, the improved heel comfort helps limit rubbing and speeds up adjustment time.
A dedicated Speed Ctrl stud is positioned to help maintain control during sudden stops and sharp pivots. On typical New Zealand grass pitches that are firm or slightly dry, this setup feels quick and stable. It is not intended for soft or muddy winter fields.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the New Balance Furon v8 Elite FG boots good for wide players and strikers?
Yes. The lightweight upper, extended strike zone and speed focused stud pattern make them well suited to wingers and forwards who rely on acceleration and finishing.
Can I use these firm ground football boots on artificial turf?
They are designed for firm natural grass. For regular play on artificial turf, an AG specific outsole will offer better durability and comfort.
