A lightweight firm-ground speed boot with a thin knitted upper that has vent holes and a sprint-focused plastic soleplate, built for quick players and offering an immediate, close touch but only average traction and durability.
The Velocita name goes back to 2015 and this model is the 2024 Umbro Velocita Pro, the follow-up to the Velocita IV from 2019. It sits in Umbro's elite product tier.
The upper is a thin, engineered knit with built-in vents. Umbro calls this material ProWeave and some versions use a higher proportion of recycled fibres. The upper also includes a bonded V-shaped frame and an internal system designed to help the knit hold the foot.
The sole is a sprint-style plate made from a PEBAX material. It uses a stud layout designed for speed, mixing round and shaped studs on the firm-ground version. Some versions of the boot are sold with soft-ground studs, but the main model is for firm grass.
The company lists the weight as 180 g per shoe. The boot pairs the thin knit upper with the sprint plate to cut weight and favor acceleration over heavy cushioning or extra protection.
The Velocita Pro is for players who rely on pace, such as wingers, forwards and attacking full-backs. It is aimed at higher-level players who want an elite-tier firm-ground sprint boot. The thin knit, sprint plate and 180 g weight all point to a speed-focused design rather than a protection or power boot.
The fit favours narrow-to-medium feet. Central defenders, power strikers who need reinforced strike zones, players who want extra durability, or players who need a roomy fit should look at other models.
Reviewers say the boot feels comfortable straight away. The upper is thin, soft and flexible. The boot settles quickly and does not need a long break-in to feel comfortable on the pitch.

At 180 g per shoe the boot is light. Reviewers do not see the weight as a significant drawback. The low mass supports the boot's focus on acceleration.
is this a significant amount of weight absolutely not. Soccer Reviews For You
Traction is adequate but not exceptional. Reviewers describe the sprint plate and stud layout as competent for firm grass but not groundbreaking. Players who need aggressive grip on artificial surfaces or in very wet conditions may find the traction only average.
it's nothing that is necessarily groundbreaking or revolutionary in terms of the traction that it's going to provide. Soccer Reviews For You
Reviewers gave durability a mid-range score. Expect a reasonable lifespan with normal use. The boot does not stand out for abrasion resistance or long-term toughness.
hopefully add to the durability. Soccer Reviews For You
They are best for pace-focused attackers and full-backs who want acceleration and close ball feel, specifically wingers, forwards and attacking full-backs.
The Velocita line is usually worn by quick players. Historically the line has been associated with fast wingers and forwards rather than defensive players.
The boot weighs 180 g per shoe, the figure Umbro lists for this model.
They are designed for firm ground. Umbro also offers soft-ground variants in some versions, but the main outsole is a firm-ground sprint plate.
Reviewer scoring for durability averaged 6/10. Reviewers advised modest expectations for long-term robustness, so players who need high abrasion resistance or season-long durability should be cautious.
Reviews describe a snug, locked-in fit. Players with narrow to medium-width feet will probably like that. Wide-footed players may need a different model or a different size.
Bottom line, A lightweight, speed-first firm-ground boot that gives a thin, close-fitting upper and ready touch, but players who need top-tier traction, long-term durability or a roomy fit should consider other boots.
