The Nike Huarache 9 Elite Mid Lacrosse Cleats are designed for players who need a combination of traction, flexibility, comfort, and stability on the field. Built for quick cuts, sudden stops, sprints, and ground-ball situations, the Huarache 9 Elite is designed to help players stay controlled and supported through every movement.

Compared with the previous Huarache Elite 8, the Huarache 9 Elite focuses on increased underfoot flexibility while maintaining the supportive structure players need during aggressive play.

Enhanced Comfort

The Huarache 9 Elite features a more flexible underfoot design intended to reduce break-in time and help players get comfortable faster.

Its specialized heel fit system is designed to securely lock the foot in place, while the mid/high-top construction provides additional ankle support. This combination gives players stability without sacrificing the flexibility needed for quick movement.

Locked-In Fit

A secure fit is essential when making sharp cuts or changing direction. The Huarache 9 Elite uses Flywire cables around the midfoot to help keep the foot snug and supported.

A durable, see-through overlay helps maintain the structure of the cleat, while lightweight mesh provides breathability as players move around the field.

Traction for Quick Cuts

Inspired by the multidirectional traction used in Nike's Phantom soccer line, the Huarache 9 Elite is designed for controlled movement in multiple directions.

Whether you're sprinting downfield, cutting around a defender, stopping suddenly, or changing direction during a ground-ball battle, the traction system is designed to help maintain grip on the field.

Built for Lacrosse Movement

Lacrosse requires players to constantly accelerate, decelerate, cut, and change direction. The Huarache 9 Elite is built around these demands, combining a flexible feel with a supportive upper.

The reinforced toe box also adds durability in an area that experiences frequent contact and wear during play.

Additional Features

  • Flexible inner sleeve: Provides a comfortable, seamless fit.

  • Flywire midfoot cables: Help secure the foot during movement.

  • Reinforced toe box: Adds durability for long-lasting performance.

  • No-slip tongue: Helps keep the tongue in place and minimize distractions.

  • Lightweight mesh: Adds breathability without compromising the locked-in feel.

  • Mid/high-top design: Provides additional ankle support.
