A leather pair of Umbro GT II Pros? Only if you're Kyle Walker. The England international and Tottenham Hotspur defender will be handed a bespoke pair of GT boots featuring a full k-leather upper for Spurs' upcoming fixtures.
The flying full-back is Umbro's lead figure for the GT range having worn the speed boots for the past two seasons at the top-flight. As with so many professionals, Umbro have tailored Walker's boots to meet his exact requirements.
Umbro are one of the few brands to not offer leather alternatives to their synthetic speed boots. The standard GT II Pro football boots are designed using a lightweight Japanese microfibre upper. It sounds fancy, but there's no beating the feel of natural leather. Walker obviously agrees, and has upgraded his boots to a full grain kangaroo leather.
The boots are built on a custom last bespoke to Walker's feet (size 8). To create the same colour fade as the standard editions, Umbro have applied a PVC application across the forefoot. Each boot has been personalised with 'Walker' and 'Roman' – in reference to his son. They also feature the standard SG plate with interchangeable studs.
