RS15 Elite Soft Ground Rugby Cleat '23

Part of adidas’s original all-around rugby boot family, the RS15 Elite SG is the mid-tier model in the RS15 range—designed to deliver top-level performance without the premium price tag of the Pro version. Built for high-speed, high-skill play, the RS15 Elite supports agile backs with explosive movement, quick footwork, and rugby-specific kicking control. Featuring an adaptive leather forefoot, asymmetrical lacing, and a lightweight frame, it offers comfort, grip, and responsiveness on soft ground—ideal for players looking to impact the game from any position in the backline.

Features:

  • Great for backs or all-around players

Outsole:

  • Speedframe outsole: Lightweight and responsive, offering explosive acceleration and stability on soft ground
  • Features a 6-stud configuration (4x front, 2x rear) for optimal grip and traction during rapid movements and sharp turns
  • Reinforced soleplate enhances durability and control during high-intensity play

Upper:

  • Adaptive leather forefoot delivers a natural touch and molds to your foot for improved control 
  • Synthetic rearfoot ensures lightweight support and shape retention
  • Asymmetrical lacing system provides a large strike zone for rugby-specific kicking precision

Fit, Support & Comfort:

  • Foam cushioning in the heel absorbs impact and enhances comfort during sprints and sudden stops
  • Padded collar adds ankle comfort and support without restricting mobility
  • Textile inner lining offers a soft, sock-like fit

Performance:

  • Supports rapid directional changes and explosive acceleration on soft ground
  • Enhances kicking accuracy through an expanded, clean strike zone
  • Lightweight build reduces fatigue while maintaining structure and support
  • Leather forefoot boosts ball feel, control, and touch under pressure
  • A great choice for players who need agility, comfort, and kicking precision

Studs: Soft Ground boots arrive with a tightening tool. It is important to tighten studs before using your boots for the first time.

    Care:

    • Knock off loose mud to remove dirt from uppers and studs
    • Wipe down with a damp cloth using cool water (not hot water)
    • Stuff boots with newspaper or paper towels to retain shape and absorb moisture—excess moisture can weaken seams and cause the uppers to separate from the soleplate.
    • Condition leather with beeswax or leather balm
    • Check and replace studs 
    • Let the boots air dry (avoid heat sources) for 24-48 hours
    • Store boots in a dry, ventilated environment to prevent mold or mildew - ventilated boot bags work well

    Perfect Fit

    "Honestly probably the best feeling boot I've worn right out of the box (20 years of soccer and 4 of rugby). Fit and performance are A+! 100% recommended."

    Shifty (5/5)

    Great while they last

    "Maybe I was just unlucky, but after only 3 months of use the left boot is separating from the sole and the toe leather has rubbed off. I tried going through WRC for the exchange, but it's outside of the 30 day policy. Going through the warranty claim with Adidas is the worst and I think I'm just going to have to take the loss on this one. They're great while they last, but not the quality I've come to expect from Adidas."

    I received the wrong gloves

    "I received the wrong gloves and the wrong size that I had not ordered."

    Cleats

    "You don’t really got to break them in."

    Usaia A. (5/5)

    Heel Cup Still a Problem

    "For the most part they are great boots and break in time will vary. The one thing that these seem to carry over from the Kakari days is the heel cup takes more time to break in than the rest of the boot. I still get blisters, but it seems to be improving as they break in more. The rest fo the boot is true to Adidas excellence; they fit really well."

    Q&A

    How is the fit on this, is it ultra slim or more relaxed? Does the leather break in on this one for a medium wide foot? I've had Adidas backs boots in the past that were way too narrow and rigid. I don't have wide feet either. Switched to leather soccer boots for this reason, first time seeing this in a rugby kicking style boot.
    Thanks for asking. We are finding that this boot fits more relaxed or true to size as you would say. The leather should break in after a few wears. You would be happily surprised with this one.
