The Kakari, designed for the front five

The Kakari is aimed at props, hookers, and second rows, the front five who push in the scrum. Its sole features eight studs arranged for grip in the scrums, and its Fusionskin upper is reinforced in support areas to hold the foot in place. The Kakari RS returns to a single-piece sole, lighter and more flexible, with hollow studs that reduce weight while maintaining stability. Its asymmetric lacing provides a cleaner striking surface, useful for the occasional kicks a forward must make in a match, and the Fasttech material gradually conforms to the shape of the foot.

RS-15 and Adizero RS15 Pro, the speed of the backline

The RS-15 targets half-backs, centres, wingers, and full-backs, where every gram counts in accelerations. Thinner than the Kakari, it still has an SG sole with interchangeable studs for winter pitches. The RS-15 Elite uses more technical and lighter materials, aimed at players who train several times a week, while the Adizero RS15 Pro takes the name Adizero, the line reserved by the brand for its lightest shoes. For a back row who covers a lot of ground, the RS-15 often represents a good compromise between support and agility.

The three stripes, from the XV of France to the All Blacks

Founded in 1949 in Herzogenaurach, Bavaria, by Adolf Dassler, known as Adi, adidas takes its name from the contraction of his first and last name. The brand has dressed the All Blacks since 1999 and has established itself as one of the major suppliers in world rugby today. It also provided the kits for the XV of France from 1986 to 1998 and then from 2012 to 2018, before reclaiming the kit from September 2024 for all French teams. This presence at the highest level, from the Six Nations Tournament to the World Cup, extends to the studded shoes offered to club players.

Frequently asked questions

Do adidas rugby shoes fit true to size?

Rugby models from adidas generally follow the usual shoe size. One should measure their foot in the evening, wearing match socks, and compare it to the brand's size chart, ensuring there is half a centimetre in front of the longest toe.

Can the studs of a Kakari be changed?

Yes, the SG sole has replaceable studs that can be changed with a key. Their length is adapted to the condition of the pitch, without exceeding twenty-one millimetres, and their tightness is checked before each match.

How do you clean an adidas shoe after a muddy match?

Remove mud with a soft brush while it's still damp, take out the insole, and stuff the shoe with newspaper. It then dries at room temperature, never against a radiator which hardens the upper and weakens the glue.

Is the RS-15 suitable for synthetic pitches?

In its SG version with interchangeable studs, no: it is made for soft grass. On artificial turf, metal studs stick too much and damage the surface; one should opt for a sole with moulded studs or specific for synthetic surfaces.

What shoe adidas for a scrum-half?

The scrum-half plays passes, short runs, and kick plays around the rucks: the RS-15, lightweight and agile, suits this profile well. A player wanting to gain even more lightness can turn to the Elite version.
