Technical features |
User benefits |
| UPPER | |
| Synthetic upper. | Longevity, durability, easy-care. |
| Full grain leather upper. | Flexibility, very comfortable, good ball touch. |
| Kangaroo leather upper. | Flexibiilty, very thin for maximum comfort and excellent ball touch. |
| Micro-ventilated fabric (mesh). | Breathable and lightweight material. |
| MIDSOLE | |
| EVA. | Lightweight and comfort |
| PEEVA or compression-moulded EVA. | Durability and comfort, as the midsole follows the shape of your foot. |
| Polyurethane. | Durability. |
| CUT OF THE UPPER | |
| Off-centre lacing. | Optimum contact surface, improving ball touch and strike power. |
| Tongue flap. | The knot of the laces is covered, giving a smooth strike surface. |
The technical features of different outsoles and studs, and the benefits they provide. |
|
| Outsole | |
| Rubber | Shock absorption. |
| PU (polyurethane) | Durability and resistance to wear. |
| TPU (thermo-polyurethane) | Even more durability and toughness. |
| Peebax | Stiffness and energy for push off. |
| STUDS | |
| Flat sole |
Grip on smooth and flat surfaces (parquet, cement). |
| Turf short multi-studs |
Grip on hard pitches: tarmac, asphalt, clay. The positioning, number, and short, profiled shape of the studs provide maximum grip on hard pitches. |
| Turf multi-studs |
Grip on hard pitches (tarmac, frozen grass pitches, astro-turf and synthetic pitches), thanks to the high number of studs, which absorb shocks and guarantee optimum control in lateral movements and when running forward or backward. |
| 24 - 28 studs |
Use on dry pitches because the high number of studs spread your weight better, whilst still maintaining good grip. |
| Round studs (8 to 14) |
Grip on grass pitches, because the number and positions of the studs provide good stability and good energy. |
| Blade studs with traction system |
Grip on grass pitches, thanks to the profiled shape and position of the studs provides good lateral stability, and lots of energy during accelerations. |
| Screw-in studs |
Use on heavy, wet pitches, because mud cannot stick between the sole and the studs. This provides optimum grip as these studs stick well into heavy pitches. |
