New Balance join forces with Crystal Palace's star midfielder Eberechi Eze to release a pair of limited-edition boots titled the Starraiser Furon v7. Inspired by his Greenwich roots and Eberechi's early years playing football, we got a glimpse of the boots at the Easter Sunday Crystal Palace vs Leeds fixture, and boy, did they bring the heat. A remarkable result with a helping hand from a remarkable boot.
CPFCHailing from the South London borough, Eberechi worked closely with New Balance on the design of the boots. The boots have drawn on memories from his early years playing football in Greenwich Park, home of the Observatory - where he developed his love of the game and honed his skills.
New BalanceThe brilliant Blue Moonshadow colourway is reminiscent of his first junior team’s football kit, alongside pops of Pixel Green that represent the Observatory’s longitude laser, symbolising both his professional journey and his one focus – to reach the very top level.
New BalanceThe intricate details displayed on the boots are a nod to Eberechi’s past and future career ambitions. Striking graphics inspired by the constellation of the stars viewed from the Observatory represent his drive to always dream big and reach for the stars.
New BalanceSpeaking on the limited edition boot, Eberechi said: “It’s a really special moment to see a colourway inspired by my journey. My years playing football in Greenwich have had a massive impact on the player I am today, so being able to pay homage to that journey is incredible. Hopefully, my journey can inspire more young players from around the world to keep pushing for the stars and to achieve their dreams.”
