Pro:Direct Boot Exchange Newcastle
Traded Up. Gave Back. No One Left Empty-Handed.
Newcastle, you turned up in style. The first Pro:Direct Boot Exchange was everything we hoped for—players, fans, and the next generation coming together to swap old boots for fresh adidas Predators and make a difference.
Anthony Gordon made sure it was one to remember, trading boots, meeting fans, and bringing serious energy. Royal Oak FC assistant manager Steve Bracknall and a few surprise guests added to the atmosphere, making it a day that won’t be forgotten anytime soon
UTILITA FOOTBALL REBOOTED
Your donations will now be distributed across the local region, helping the next generation of players get the gear they need to keep chasing their football dreams.
Every boot traded in is now part of something bigger. Utilita’s Football Rebooted is tackling accessibility and sustainability in football, making sure no pair goes to waste.
With the backing of David James and Courtney Sweetman-Kirk, this movement is about keeping boots out of landfill and on the feet of players who need them most. Grassroots teams, rising talents, and local clubs struggling with kit costs—these boots are going exactly where they’re needed.
The goal? Save one million pairs of boots and keep football open to everyone. Thanks to your donations, the next generation of players won’t have to miss out on the game they love.
MISSED OUT?
