## Caption

Check out the new @nblacrosse cleats @paulrabil has been rocking this season and appears ready to unveil in the up coming weeks/months. The question is, are these going to be new Rabil branded cleats or are they the Freeze 2's?

The silhouette is very reminiscent of the Jordan 9 and 10. Interesting to note that Rabil wore a low top version (pictures in the scroll) early in the season so maybe we will see a low top version of this cleat or maybe that was just an early prototype. I am hoping they have a low.

The upper looks very similar to what is currently on the Freeze, the major exception to that is the addition of what is basically Flywire Cables along the medial aspect of the shoe. Also, the bootie collar from the Freeze is gone for what appears to be a more traditional style collar. This would be an interesting decision considering that the bootie collar is one of the best parts of the Freeze in my opinion.

The sole plate appears to be an upgraded Adonis 2.0 sole plate rather than the sole plate from the Freeze. They eliminated the entire Quixrail. Again, that seems an interesting choice considering that traction on the Freeze is second to none. Then again, maybe they have some new ideas you can't see in this cleat.

Still no midsole in these cleats. Like I said last year, given that lacrosse is mostly played on grass, it's not the end of the world. That being said, more cushioning would be nice considering how many games are now being played on artificial surfaces AND how many weekend long tournaments there are where you are in your cleats for multiple games across multiple days.

Still, they look sweet and I am ready to try them, especially if they come in a low.
