Not sure what I'm missing...Those are just Adidas FF80 boots. They're made for rugby.

Edit:
Actually, I just zoomed in by accident on the first pic, and the studs even say "Rugby" on them.

The stud at the toe is offset.

They have been legal for ages.

I thought a single toe stud was now legal.

The law preventing single toe studs was dropped in the 2014 lawbook. It was 4.4(i) in the 2013 lawbook.
