Patent Leather and Mamba Detailing

Designed with high-contrast paneling, the upper pairs a soft matte black leather base with shiny black patent leather overlays across the mudguard and heel counter. Additionally, FC Barcelona’s signature Field Purple tone brings vivid color to the design, lining the patent leather Swooshes, heel tabs, laces, and outsole.

Gold accents complete the look, highlighted by the official FC Barcelona crest woven onto the tongue tag alongside custom Mamba-inspired graphics on the insoles.
