Sports Footwear Opportunity’
A universal kicking boot, ZYGO is suitable for football/soccer, rugby and Australian Rules, with recent interest also expressed by Gaelic football players and gridiron punters. Strategically shaped and light weight energy pods are located on the kicking regions of the boot. The energy pods generate greater energy and thus power to a ball, as well as providing exceptional grip – thereby assisting ball control, swerve and accuracy.
