Adidas Officially Reveals New Adizero RS15 Rugby Boot
Adidas showcases its new line of boots for 2023.
After appearing during training on some of the world’s best players, Adidas has officially revealed the Adizero RS15, a brand-new lightweight rugby boot designed for multi-directional speed.
According to Adidas, the design teams looked to understand what the athlete of today needs from their boot – and the resounding answer was speed across all positions, supported by a lightweight boot.
From those insights, Adidas crafted the Adizero RS15, combining the very best kicking-specific features from the Rugby Predator Malice and the speed attributes of the Adizero RS7 boots. So, instead of those two silos that have been available for the past few years, there will now be one, more well-rounded to suit all types of players.
The Adidas Adizero RS15 features:
- Lightweight frame – at 313g, the silhouette has been minimised, to allow for maximum speed.
- SpeedframeTechnology – on the sole enables multi-directional speed and acceleration, without compromising on traction or heel support.
- FusionskinTechnology – a full-grain leather often described as ‘liquid leather’. It features from the forefoot to the midfoot before transitioning into a ripstop material on the boot’s back quarter – creating an adaptive and supportive fit.
- The boot’s upper features asymmetrical lacing and 3D-printed detailing, for control and a wide sweet spot when kicking.
Made with at least 50% recycled materials in the upper of the boot, the Adizero RS15 launches in three different colourways: a black version which will be worn exclusively by All Blacks players throughout 2023, a royal blue edition with red and white detailing as an homage to the host nation for this year’s showpiece event of the men’s game, and a white model with lime green and black detailing.
Launching alongside the Adizero RS15 are two updated colourways of the existing front-five specialist boot, the Kakari Z.1 – a black-on-black version and a white version with black detailing.
The Adidas Adizero RS15 is available now on Adidas’ online store.
