The adizero RS7 Pro boots are made from a reinforced Sprint Skin Upper which, as most adizero fans will know, is lighter and stronger than all other synthetic materials. The Sprint Skin used on the boot has been reinforced making it stronger than its football counterpart.
The adizero Sprint Frame for the RS7 Pro adizero Rugby boots is 50% lighter than all other regular TPU outsoles. This is featured along side a strong and stable mid-foot area designed to help prevent injurys through a lightweight hollow core construction.
The soleplate of the new adizero RS7 Rugby boots feature a combination of molded Traxion studs and exchangeable aluminium studs. The new Traxion stud shape remains for maximum acceleration and speed on wet surfaces.
Like the new adizero soccer shoes, the adizero RS7 Pro Rugby boots feature a synthetic print to help improve control when striking the ball.
The new adidas adiZero RS7 Pro Rugby boots are available for the same price as the adizero soccer shoes for around £140 GBP/ $200 USD, and are available to order from selected retailers now.
