Gavin Henson and his innovative X-Blades
Gavin Henson has become the poster boy for the increasingly popular X-Blades brand and their innovative range of rugby boots.
Back in action for London Welsh after a nightmare string of injuries, Henson has been thrust back in to the number ten jersey, a role which requires a boot created for both speed and kicking, two aspects of the game the ‘Wild Thing’ range of X Blades boots was designed for.
Manufactured from a TPU and microfibre reinforced mesh upper Henseon’s Wild Things are as robust and sturdy as they are comfortable and easy to break-in, with the cushioned heel ensuring a snug, secure fit.
Lightweight and conceived to complement players who rely on quick bursts of speed and dynamic acceleration the strategically position blades provide ultimate traction on a variety of natural surfaces, while the ‘Speed Ortholite Innersole absorbs pressure helps the boot retain its shape.
As innovative in their style as they are in their ptacticality the X-Blades come in a selection of flamoyant colourways, something which is sure to have appealed to Henson, a [player renowned for his undeiable skill and flashy exuberance on the pitch.
