In honor of rising talent Endrick’s ties to his homeland of Valparaíso De Goiás, New Balance has released a limited-edition “Irmão” Tekela Pro FG V4+ Boot. Prior to its December 10th retail release, this exclusive boot will make its premiere in the video game EA SPORTS FC 25 on December 5th.

Boot Features and Design

The Tekela “Irmão” Edition aims to capture the essence of Valparaíso De Goiás culture. One important word from the city’s hymn is “Irmão,” which translates to “Brother” in Portuguese. The boot’s unique two-tone striped design, which was influenced by the local flag, contrasts with its high-end metallic gold and emerald green finish. The city is symbolized by the letter “V” on the inside of the sock liner, and the Goiás region’s basic principles are represented by the striking boot laces, which feature gold aglets and the Portuguese words Progresso (Progress) and Paz (Peace).

To further highlight the sense of regional pride, the heel design also has a faded gradient of the eight-branched Goiás star and a bespoke Endrick E9 emblem.

In addition to the boot, New Balance has designed a line of in-game cosmetics for EA SPORTS FC 25 that are inspired by “Irmão.” In order to improve the immersive experience for both players and supporters, players can anticipate a stadium theme, a digital-only uniform, and vanity goods in the Ultimate Team mode.
