Oxen Metasock Hawkshift SG

The Oxen Metasock Hawkshift SG

Developed in collaboration with one of Rugby Union’s most respected figures, Courtney Lawes. The boot is constructed on OXEN’s proven Metasock DNA platform, whilst incorporating design that is unmistakably Lawes.

A gold hawk moth sits at the centre of the boot – a symbol of grace, resilience and quiet strength. It reflects a player who has built his career on consistency, durability and delivering when it counts.

Speaking on the launch, Lawes said: “It’s really humbling, OXEN gave me the opportunity to design my own boot which is something I never thought I’d get the opportunity to do. I created the boot from the ground up, I wanted something that feels right every time you put it on. OXEN boots are incredibly durable and light, they do everything they are supposed to do as a boot, and then some. That is the most important thing. On top of that they look good, so to be able to design my own, is to put the icing on the cake.”

The Courtney Lawes boot uses all the technology of the OXEN 2026 Metasock SG Boots – built for power, traction, and all-game comfort when the pitch gets heavy.

Featuring advanced Metasock knitted upper technology, these boots deliver a secure, sock-like fit that adapts to your foot for maximum lockdown and reduced pressure points. The seamless construction enhances comfort while maintaining the structure and support needed for high-impact play.
The mixed soleplate configuration with 6 changeable metal studs is engineered for superior grip in soft and wet ground conditions. The combination of removable metal studs and moulded traction elements provides powerful stability during scrums, driving runs, and sudden directional changes.

Lightweight yet durable, the chassis is designed to support explosive acceleration while maintaining balance and control in contact situations.

– Mixed Sole Plate – 6 changeable metal studs for maximum soft-ground traction
– Stability Support System – Locked-in feel for confident movement

Remember to check your boots and studs regularly.

Boots and studs should be checked regularly by player/parents/referee and as part of a match official’s pre-match routine. They should check that the boots and studs/blades are safe to be worn; that there are none missing, that they are suitably tightened and have no sharp edges or burring.
