The ASICS Menace 5 2026 Boots – Azura Pack
The ASICS Menace 5 Boots are built for players who rely on speed, repeat efforts, and quick acceleration. Sitting in the ASICS Speed category, this is a premium lightweight rugby boot designed for backs and mobile forwards with high running demands across the park.
The synthetic leather and microfibre upper gives a soft, secure feel while holding its shape during sharp changes of direction. An added overlay film reinforces the boot without adding weight, which is ideal when you are accelerating or stepping at pace. The Knit Mono Sock construction locks the ankle in comfortably and reduces movement inside the boot, something you notice straight away during fast transitions.
Underfoot, FLYTEFOAM cushioning combined with HG10mm technology provides a responsive platform with added comfort and support, especially useful over long sessions or late in the game. The nylon outsole plate features a graduated flex, firmer through the heel for stability and softer through the forefoot for faster toe off. Propulsion nylon ribs in the forefoot help drive efficient movement, while Trusstic midfoot support improves torsional stability when changing direction.
