Skechers SKX_2 Academy FG rugby shoes firm ground
The Skechers SKX_2 Academy FG is designed for players seeking lightness and technical control on firm ground. At 227 g, this shoe combines a moulded synthetic upper and Move Foam™ cushioning for reactive ball touch without sacrificing comfort during support phases. The P.S.C. technology (Precise Strike Control) delivers a moulded strike zone that improves accuracy when passing and clearing. The firm TPU plate supports direction changes and quick releases, while the FG stud configuration ensures stable grip on natural grass in good condition.
Developed with the same specifications as Skechers Performance™ football ranges, this Academy FG benefits from an ultra-lightweight textile construction covered with a PU coating that retains its properties even in wet conditions. The central lacing allows personalised adjustment, and the textile insole facilitates moisture evacuation throughout the match.
Is the SKX_2 Academy suitable for synthetic pitches?
No, the FG configuration is exclusive to firm natural grass. On synthetic surfaces, prefer an AG or TF version with more numerous and shorter studs.
What is the difference with the Skechers Elite range?
The Academy uses standard Move Foam™ cushioning and a classic synthetic upper, whereas the Elite features HYPER BURST PRO™, FitKnit® and a carbon-infused plate for enhanced reactivity and support.
What shoe size corresponds to the 227 g weight?
This mass is typically measured on a European size 42. Extreme sizes may vary by ±10 g.
Technical specifications
Care instructionsClean the synthetic upper with lukewarm water and mild soap after each muddy pitch session. Avoid prolonged soaking and direct radiator drying, which may damage the PU coating. Remove the textile insole and allow it to air dry. Never machine wash. DesignThe SKX_2 Academy FG is built on a simplified yet coherent architecture: textile upper covered with PU to limit water absorption, raised P.S.C. moulding on the lateral strike zone, and rigid TPU plate that converts support energy into reactivity during quick releases. The choice of Move Foam™ — compressed EVA foam — provides lightweight cushioning without overloading the structure, an essential balance for players who chain short sprints and ruck phases. The stud distribution follows a classic conical pattern, prioritising multidirectional stability over aggressive ground penetration. BrandSkechers Performance™ has been developing its range of field shoes since 2021, leveraging manufacturing processes honed in running and lifestyle. The SKX_2 line offers several levels (Elite, Academy) sharing the same philosophy: prioritise lightness and reactivity with proprietary technologies (Move Foam™, HYPER BURST PRO™, FitKnit®) drawn from the California brand's athletics catalogue. The Academy is positioned as the accessible entry-level option, retaining construction fundamentals without the premium materials of the Elite. |
