The Advance 900, a design story
"The story of the Advance 900 shoe began three years ago. With the desire to offer expert rugby players a good, comfortable, resistant shoe that meets the requirements of their level of practice. Our design team teamed up with ambassadors, Decathlon employees with a passion for rugby, to come up with this shoe. After more than a dozen prototypes, we're delighted to offer you this versatile shoe, designed for third-row, center and back.
A shoe designed with professionals in mind
While we imagined this shoe with passionate collaborators, we also worked hand in hand with professional players, evolving in the Top 14. Players with high expectations. As a result, the Advance 900 has successfully passed the wear tests carried out by expert players, from the regional to the highest national level!
Our team is proud to present...
We're proud to offer this shoe, which has convinced professional players such as Julien Ledevedec, 2nd 3rd row at Montpellier (Top 14).
Other players such as Jonathan Wisniewski, fly-half at Lyon (Top 14) have tested and approved the Advance 900. At this point, we feel we're not far from having succeeded in our gamble," says William, Product Manager at Offload.
... A shoe that stands out for its versatility
The versatility of this shoe is apparent at first glance. The soft, supple front part expresses agility and speed. A footed part, simply reinforced in sensitive areas of the foot. The rear part, on the other hand, expresses resistance. It has been reinforced to give you a feeling of protection and support. So you can tackle the ruck with confidence! The sockliner adds to this feeling of support, and the rigid sole follows the natural curves of the foot.
Screw-in stud compatibility
Depending on the level of grip and the condition of the terrain, you can adapt the OFFLOAD 11-13-15-18-21mm aluminum screw-in studs sold at Decathlon.
The 13mm rubber screw-in studs part no. 8035462 are not compatible with this model of shoe.
