Real Madrid-bound Endrick has become the latest in a long line of Brazil stars to receive their own custom football boots, which celebrate a new deal and a stellar 2023.
In July 2024, Endrick will move from Palmeiras to Real Madrid in a deal worth £62m. Still only 17, the Brazilian is only allowed to complete the transfer once he turns 18.
Since breaking into the Palmeiras first team as a 16-year-old, Endrick has lifted the Brazilian Serie A on two occasions. His performances in the 2023 campaign, scoring 11 goals in 31 appearances, were so impressive that Brazil national team caretaker manager Fernando Diniz even handed him his senior debut, against Colombia.

In doing so, Endrick became the fourth-youngest Brazil player ever, and the youngest in 57 years.
To celebrate Endrick incredible 2023, New Balance announced that the teenage sensation has signed with the brand, giving him a limited-edition gold version of their Tekela V4+ Low to formalise the partnership.
With Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka, Sadio Mane, Timothy Weah and Harvey Elliott already signed to New Balance, Endrick becomes the latest talent to wear football boots manufactured by the American brand.

An extremely lightweight boot contributing to the overall minimalist feel. They are also much lighter than the New Balance V3 and improve on these in almost every category. These usually retail for £40 less than the laceless adidas Predator boot, so this deal makes them an even more attractive option.
Endrick said: “It is a great honour to join the New Balance family and partner with a brand that is aligned with the same core values that I embody both on and off the pitch. As I continue to strive for excellence in my professional career, I know that New Balance will support my journey every step of the way.”

"Endrick epitomises our fearlessly independent spirit and everything we champion as a brand. Together with Endrick and his family, we look forward to giving back to the community in Brazil, reflecting his values and ours as a brand. He has the world at his feet and we’re enthusiastically proud to welcome him to the New Balance family."
