Description
PUMA One8 Cover Drive 18 Pro Cricket Shoes - Metal Spikes
~ Co-created with Virat Kohli, built for batters who move fast between the creases.
The Cover Drive 18 is the current top of the PUMA One8 cricket range, developed with Virat Kohli and aimed at players who need grip and lateral stability through a long innings. It runs an eleven-spike sole and a stiffened midsole, so it holds shape under the twisting load of turning for a second run rather than folding at the arch.
One8 is Virat Kohli's own performance label, produced with PUMA. This is the metal spike version, intended for turf.
Why Players Choose the Cover Drive 18
Eleven-spike sole, convertible at the heel
Seven spikes at the forefoot and four convertible at the heel, so you can adapt the setup to the surface you are playing on.
TPU shank for torsional rigidity
A shank sits between the midsole and outsole to resist twisting, which is where cricket shoes usually give out first.
Sonic Foam cushioning and PWR+LCK heel
Lightweight responsive foam underfoot, with a heel lock that holds the foot in place through aggressive weight shifts at the crease.
Breathable mono mesh upper
Mono mesh with synthetic overlays across the toe for protection, and a ghillie lacing system for a secure fit.
