Boots
ASICS believes in developing product that suits the needs of each athlete. Creating the GEL-LETHAL TIGHT FIVE and the GEL-LETHAL SPEED, ASICS has boots specifically for both forwards and backs.
GEL-LETHAL TIGHT FIVE
Forwards in the modern game require a stable footing as they seek to counteract the forces applied in scrums, mauls and rucks. Featuring six front studs, the GEL-LETHAL TIGHT FIVE gives players the grip and footing they require when pushing to gain an advantage in contact situations.
The revolutionary ASICS HG10 is a key component in this boot. The 10mm heel raise, the difference in height between the heel and forefoot, offers the best biomechanical position for rugby players. HG10 protects and enhances forward motion, reduces load on the Achilles tendons, calf muscles and hamstrings.
A firm fitted heel cup means players feel confident that they can push with full force and the boot will remain gripped in place. A rear foot GEL is also included to reduce the influence of impact on players’ body.
GEL-LETHAL SPEED
The GEL-LETHAL SPEED is aimed at backs who want to move quickly, yet still feel confident going into contact. It features only four front studs, allowing maximum velocity and reducing weight to give players the freedom to move across the grass.
A lightweight, seamless upper construction improves durability and performance, while added protection of the big toe allows players to know they are protected in contact situations.
The GEL-LETHAL SPEED also features HG10, as well as giving an easier transition from standing to forward momentum.
