New Balance has lifted the curtain on the Tekela v5, the fifth generation of its signature control silo.
Engineered for playmakers who read the game a step ahead, the boot focuses on touch, traction, and comfort in one streamlined package.
A one-piece TouchTech microfiber upper features shallow debossed channels and printed grip zones, providing an almost glove-like sensation on the ball. At the top, a Hypoknit stretch collar encircles the ankle for a seamless fit, eliminating layers that may dull initial contact.
Underfoot, a nylon plate combines conical studs with angled TPU rims at the forefoot, ensuring quick release in every direction, which is perfect for sharp turns and rapid acceleration.
The launch colorway is striking: a solar-yellow base for visibility, black overlays encasing the tech zones, and red flashes for a burst of aggression. It’s all crafted to reflect Tekela’s mantra: see the unseen, control the moment.
Expect to spot the Tekela v5 on the feet of Endrick, Jordan Huitema, Harvey Elliott, and Tim Weah in upcoming fixtures, offering a real‑time demo of the boot’s credentials.
Fans can grab the first‑edition Tekela v5 starting June 24, 2025 exclusively at on New Balance’s official website. Wider retail release follows on July 24, with more colourways slated to roll out later in the season.
Lightweight build, locked‑in collar, and touch‑focused tech make the Tekela v5 a genuine upgrade – perfect for players who run the game with vision and precision.
