Hey,
I noticed these when Nike released them, but I wasn't a member here at that time, so I never thought about asking this until now. The IRB law clarifications state that the tip of a stud cannot be any smaller than 10mm in diameter. After having seen a few pairs of Nike's new FG boots, I can safely say that their new studs aren't even close (see image below). Have the IRB released a statement regarding the boots? Has anyone had issues with them during a match? I feel like I've seen some of those boots being used professionally, although I can't comment on what studs they were using, or if they used their own studs.
