adidas RS-15, speed in rugby
Our selection RS-15 brings together the most versatile rugby boot from adidas, in SG version with screw-in studs for soft pitches, FG with molded studs for dry ground, and Elite for demanding players. Designed for speed, from the back row to the full-back, it also supports kickers with its clear striking surface.
Lightweight and responsive, for the backs.
From flankers to backs: a shoe for running
The RS-15 was launched by adidas in 2023 to replace several models with one versatile family. It targets players whose game involves movement: flankers, halves, centres, wingers, and backs, who combine runs, tackles, and repositioning. It brings together two legacies: the striking qualities of the Predator Malice, an old rugby boot for kickers, and the speed of the Adizero RS7. Its goal is to support multidirectional speed, that of a player who shifts their weight to fix a defender or cover a ball behind them.

RS-15 SG or RS-15 FG: reading the ground
The RS-15 SG features screwed studs, essential on muddy pitches from November to March: they dig into the ground and prevent slipping on starts. The RS-15 FG, with molded studs, takes over on hard pitches in the preseason and spring, where long studs can stress joints. A player training all year benefits from owning both. The Elite versions maintain the same architecture with finer materials and enhanced fit, for those who play several times a week.
Stability fins and clear striking surface
The Speedframe sole of the RS-15 is complemented by rigid stability fins that rise along the sides of the foot, keeping it steady during lateral supports, where a too-soft shoe can let the heel slip. The offset lacing frees the instep for striking, a detail appreciated by backs who clear with their feet and centres who attempt a low kick. This combination of support and lightness explains why the RS-15 is popular with both back row players and backs.

Frequently Asked Questions
RS-15 or Adizero RS15: which one to choose?
Both belong to the same family. The Adizero RS15 pushes lightness and finishes further for the fastest players. The RS-15 offers a simpler and sturdier construction, suitable for a club player who trains regularly.
Is the RS-15 suitable for a scrum-half?
Yes, its lightness and lateral support meet the needs of a scrum-half, who performs many short runs, passes near rucks, and clearance kicks. The sole is chosen based on usual pitch conditions.
Can you play with a RS-15 FG in winter?
On a well-drained pitch, yes, but as soon as the ground becomes muddy, the molded studs lose their grip and the player slips on starts. For winter matches, the SG version with screwed studs is safer.
How do you change the studs on a RS-15 SG?
You unscrew the worn studs with a stud key, clean the thread of accumulated dirt, then screw in the new ones by hand before tightening moderately. Always replace the complete set to balance the support.
Does the RS-15 fit normally?
Yes, it respects the usual sizing and fits snugly. Measure the foot at the end of the day, standing, and leave about half a centimetre in front of the big toe to stop without the toes bumping.
