Split Dodge Mid TRX — In lacrosse, creating time and space can transition a possession into a scoring opportunity. That’s why this lightweight, mid-cut cleat provides a strap for lateral stability and a Traxion outsole for grip on any surface. In addition, this lightweight shoe is only 11.3 ounces. The upper features lightweight and water-resistant synthetic leather. Incorporate a mid-foot strap for superior fit and support for lateral movements. An anti-heel-slip lining keeps the foot in place. The inlay has a molded EVA insole for comfort. The outsole features two-density TPU Traxion lugs for ultimate grip on natural and synthetic grass. MSRP: $100
Brute Force 2 Mid D — Like the treads on a tank, this shoe can advance your crushing attack. Strap your foot for full support inside and out. Cushioning for comfort throughout the whole game. Features include an adjustable ankle strap, synthetic leather upper for light weight and durability, a three-quarter cut that provides excellent stability for speed players requiring more support, textile lining, EVA insole for comfort, internal EVA midsole for cushion, fit and comfort, and an injected TPU detachable cleat outsole. Also available in Mid Fly style. MSRP: $80
Women’s QuickStick TRX W — Lacrosse: The fastest game on the turf. There’s no faster shoe for the game than this lightweight cleat. Its two-density TPU Traxion plate supplies optimal grip for speed while making quick cuts.

Bulldodge Mid M2 III KFS — Offers the best in light weight and perfect fit, featuring Reebok’s KFS Technology that allows the cleat to move with the foot, helping to prevent turf toe and make that split dodge that much more smooth.

Whippet Low MS II KFS — Designed for style, speed and support, this cleat features KFS Technology (like that found in the Bulldodge) and FAV (Flex Armor Ventilation), great for protection and breathability.

Speed 2.0 — In designing the Speed 2.0, Warrior understood the principle that lacrosse is about speed and more speed. Therefore, the designers worked on the Speed until they came up with the lightest shoe on the market at 12 ounces. Available in both mid and low style and in red, white, black or blue, the Speed also includes Warrior’s exclusive VaporTek moisture management system. MSRP: $85 mid/$80 low
Detach 2.0 — Like the Speed, the Detach 2.0 also is lightweight (just 13.4 ounces) and is available in both mid and low styles.
