The Alpha Menace 5 Elite brings pop to their game - whether athletes are toting the rock, paving the way or planting opponents in the dirt. We revamped our vaunted Alpha plate to accommodate players of all shapes and sizes. And, we added crucial comfort where it counts, so every player can stake their claim long into the 4th quarter. Design: The upper is made of tried-and-true Flyknit material that's lightweight and breathable An integrated Flyknit ankle cuff gives athletes a secure fit and extra comfort The toe box comes with added support and reinforcement as well A heel pull tab makes it easy to pull them on Mid-cut collar In-Shoe Comfort: A layer of foam to the midsole, extending it to the heel for increased underfoot comfort Durability & Traction: Focus was placed on the stud placement and shape when revamping our Alpha plate, widening both, to help dominate defenders and receivers can do their thing An internal plate reinforces the traction plate, creating a system of strength and stamina
