Shoes are new come in a replacement box Based on pro athlete feedback, we added synthetic leather to the upper for a better feel and more durability compared to the Menace 3.We removed the supportive layer over the lacing system as seen on the Menace 3. That way you can access your laces with ease when making in-game adjustments.The plate is stiff in the heel and midfoot for stability. It's also responsive in the forefoot to help propel you forward. The strong plastic side cage on the upper also helps keep you stable.The sole's wide stud placement gives you traction for lateral moves. The X-frame on the bottom flexes naturally with your foot to provide stability during hard braking and quick cuts.
