Bukayo Saka Writes His Own Story: Inside the New Balance Furon v8 ‘7egacy’

With the launch of the Furon v8 ‘7egacy’, the brand has done something bold and refreshing: it gave Saka full creative direction. From the symbols etched into the upper to the meaning behind each design element, this is more than a football boot, it’s a reflection of the man who wears it.

A Design Built on Meaning

The Furon v8 ‘7egacy’ arrives in a slick white base with a striking overlay of red and black graphics across the forefoot. New Balance’s iconic “N” branding slices through the sidewall, while a shimmering iridescent soleplate brings energy to the entire silhouette.

But the detailing is where the real storytelling comes alive:

  • Lion: his leadership and powerful presence on the pitch
  • Bible & Dove: his unwavering faith and grounding principles
  • Key Motif : staying locked in, focused, and accountable to his goals

Every mark is a chapter. Every symbol is personal. And it’s all Saka.

This is a boot designed for the sharpest wingers in the game explosive movers, difference-makers, and icons in the making.

"I wanted to create a boot that shares my story with the fans who inspire me every day," said Saka in an official press release for the project. "From faith to football, everything I care about is woven into this design. New Balance gave me the freedom to be fully creative from the colors and textures and even the marketing campaign that surrounds this boot. I was involved in every step of the process and I’m proud of what we created. Now it’s up to others to create their own stories with them."

Football, Fashion, and the Cultural Moment

Saka’s influence has transcended football. He isn’t just a star athlete, he’s become a global style figure. New Balance leans into that crossover, crafting something that sits at the intersection of sneaker culture, luxury streetwear, and performance innovation.

And the timing? Absolutely perfect.

Just days after the news of his engagement to Tolami Benson broke the internet, Saka is shining brighter than ever. Celebrated for his humility and joy both on and off the field, he’s entering a new chapter in life and doing so in a pair of boots that tell the world exactly who he is.

His faith quiet, steadfast, and deeply rooted continues to shape a footballer who is grounded, grateful, and determined. New Balance captures that balance of confidence and conviction beautifully.

A Legacy Laced Up

With the Furon v8 ‘7egacy,’ New Balance isn’t just celebrating the athlete, they’re honoring the story behind him. His rise. His character. His culture. His future.

This is Saka, stitched into every details

The Furon v8 ‘7egacy’ will be available beginning December 2 on the official New Balance shop.
