The iconic Mitre Ultimax football will return for this season's FA Cup, with Mitre releasing a limited-edition version to celebrate. The ball is available to purchase online for £120 and nostalgia lovers will no doubt be queuing around the virtual block to get their hands on one.
The Mitre Ultimax was a staple of elite British football long before Nike reached a deal to provide the official Premier League football, and it is still used in the FA Cup to this day. Despite encapsulating the look and feel of those gorgeous 90s Mitre footballs, the newly-released Mitre Ultimax Pro ia built with modern technology.

The ball uses a four panel thermally bonded construction with Hyperflow debossed grooves across the ball, the Ultimax Pro Limited Edition boasts incredible flight consistency across all speeds, while its Hyperfoam engineering offers maximum power and an improved feel and touch for every strike. It’s FIFA Quality Pro approved and now 32% more durable.
The ball is decorated with 16 delta chevrons, capturing the essence of some of Mitre’s most celebrated and recognisable footballs from the last 30 years. The chevrons are also paired on the ball with the iconic Mitre branding from the 90s.
The official Mitre Ultimax Pro football, set to be used in this season's FA Cup, is also available to buy from Mitre's online store.
