Canterbury Phoenix 2.0 Pro SG - Black

Phoenix 2.0 Pro SG - Black

The Canterbury Phoenix 2.0 Pro SG is a soft‑ground rugby boot crafted for players who demand power, traction, and control on wet, muddy surfaces. Its hybrid knit upper, asymmetric “Mono Wrap” collar/tongue, and mixed-metal‑and‑TPU stud configuration make it ideal for dynamic forwards and powerful loose‑forwards.

Features:

• Versatile - great for backs or loose forwards
  
• Soft Ground boot
• Built with premium materials and advanced tech, the Pro delivers professional-level performance at a more accessible price. Designed for strong, mobile forwards—especially flankers and number 8s—who need both traction and agility. Ideal for competitive club matches and developing elite players.

   Outsole:

• Lightweight TPU outsole reinforces stability, energy return, and responsiveness during acceleration
• Six metal studs with two rhombus‑shaped TPU support studs (8 in total) for exceptional grip and stability
• Strategically placed studs aid scrummaging and directional traction; studs use standard thread size for easy replacement

   Upper:

• Hybrid Vaposkin and monomesh upper—combining durability and soft weight
• Mono Wrap collar/tongue: Asymmetric elasticated knit collar and neoprene tongue wrap lock the foot securely, enhancing power transfer
• Reinforced toe box and heel counter for protection and structure

   Fit & Support & Comfort:

• Standard (“power last”) fit with a wide forefoot and locked-in toe box ideal for broader foot shapes typical of forwards
• 3D molded heel counter and padded, wrapped tongue help stabilize the foot through contact zones
• EVA or Ortholite footbed offers shock absorption and ventilation, reducing pressure and heat build-up

   Performance:

• Excellent hold in scrums and rucks, even in challenging muddy terrain, thanks to metal studs and supportive TPU inserts
• Combination of Mono Wrap locking fit & rigid knit upper improves how force is transmitted during drives
• Low-profile outsole and lightweight upper support quick directional changes without sacrificing durability
• TPU reinforcements and robust knit materials withstand the rigors of forward play throughout a season

*All sizes are US Men's

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
