A BOOT FOR EVERY POSITION

Whether you need a speed, power or traction, Canterbury’s new Heat Pack range has a boot to match your game. Built for elite players, every detail has been considered to give players the edge on the field.

SPEED – UNTOUCHABLE

Engineered for game-changing pace, the Speed Elite is 24g lighter than its predecessor. With a totally new upper construction, redistributed TPU embroidery for added support, and a streamlined toe box for a cleaner kicking surface, it is built for impact in critical moments.

First launched in 2023, the Speed Elite is designed for speed, with the backs in mind.  It’s the choice of recently selected British & Irish Lion winger Mack Hansen, this boot delivers elite speed when it matters most.

PHOENIX – UNSTOPPABLE

Designed for players constantly making tackles or stuck in a ruck over the ball, the Phoenix Elite is now 50g lighter and features Mono-Mesh technology for breathability and durability. The mono-wrap tongue locks the foot in place, giving maximum lateral support and powerful propulsion, without sacrificing comfort.

Created for all-action forwards or back-row players who need power in their game.

STAMPEDE – UNMOVEABLE

The Stampede Elite is made for the dominant forward. With a wide fit and reinforced design, it is built to deliver traction and stability that makes the wearer an unmoveable force.

This boot is the choice of Andrew Porter, Ireland’s loosehead prop and recently selected British & Irish Lion.
