Asics Menace 5 Boots

The ASICS Menace 5 Boots!

These ASICS boots are designed for fast, agile players who need a boot that keeps up with every break, sidestep, and line run. Lightweight but strong, this premium rugby boot suits backs and quick forwards chasing speed without giving up comfort or support.

A soft microfibre upper with reinforced overlays keeps the fit snug and stable through sharp footwork, while the knit MONO-SOCK construction wraps the ankle like a second skin. It’s a secure, streamlined feel — ideal for game-day intensity.

Underfoot, ASICS FLYTEFOAM cushioning absorbs shock without adding bulk. The 10mm heel raise (HG10mm technology) supports your calves and helps reduce strain in high-speed play. The boot’s nylon outsole is built for propulsion, with flexible ribs in the forefoot that improve grip and acceleration when you're breaking the line.

Whether you’re playing club rugby or pushing for rep level, the Menace 5 is a reliable choice for players who want traction, support, and speed in one package.
