Decathlon Sports India has expanded its football category with the launch of the Viralto III and CLR FG football footwear range, developed and manufactured in India to meet the playing conditions and performance requirements of Indian footballers.
Designed for both natural grass and artificial turf, the new collection focuses on comfort, ball control, speed and stability, enabling players to perform confidently across different playing surfaces.
Responding to the growing demand for surface-specific football boots, the range introduces lightweight synthetic uppers and advanced construction technologies aimed at enhancing agility, grip and overall playing performance.
The collection includes four models tailored to different playing styles and surfaces:
- Viralto III FG Fluo Orange for firm ground natural grass, featuring a 3D Air Mesh upper, enhanced flexibility and improved grip.
- Viralto III MG/AG Black for artificial grass, equipped with a 3D Mesh upper and Flex-H sole for comfort, agility and reliable traction.
- CLR FG Low Ultra White, a lightweight football boot designed for speed with a responsive Pebax soleplate and thin upper for enhanced ball feel.
- CLR FG JR Jaguar Boost, created for young footballers with a lightweight build and Pebax sole to support speed and confident movement on firm ground.
The Viralto III FG and CLR FG models incorporate several performance-driven features, including a breathable 3D Air Mesh upper, suede reinforcements for added durability, and Poron® cushioning that helps absorb impact during play.
The outsole combines Flex-H and Dual Hardness technologies, allowing the sole to flex naturally while providing the right balance of support and comfort. The upper construction also enhances first touch and ball control by closely adapting to the shape of the foot.
Surface-specific stud configurations have been optimised for maximum traction and stability, with the Fluo Orange variant designed for firm natural grass and the Black model engineered for artificial turf.
Commenting on the launch, Hans Peter Jensen, Sports Director, Decathlon India, said the company aims to make high-performance football equipment more accessible to India’s growing football community by manufacturing the products locally while maintaining affordability and technical performance.
The Viralto III and CLR football footwear range is now available at selected Decathlon stores across India and through the brand’s online platform.
