One8 Cover Drive 18 Pro Cricket Shoes - Metal Spikes

~ Co-created with Virat Kohli. Built for the batter who is still moving well in the 40th over.

The Cover Drive 18 Pro is the top of One8's cricket range and the model One8 builds for long innings, tuned for balance and clean footwork rather than raw explosiveness. Eleven spikes and a shank-stiffened midsole hold the shoe's shape under the twisting load of turning for a second run, which is where most cricket shoes give out first.

One8 is Virat Kohli's own performance label, not a licensing badge on someone else's last. The Cover Drive 18 was co-created with him. This is the metal-spike build, intended for natural turf.

Why Players Choose the Cover Drive 18 Pro

Eleven-spike sole, convertible at the heel
Seven fixed spikes at the forefoot for grip through the shot and the turn, plus four convertible spikes at the heel so you can change the heel setup to suit the ground.

Shank-stiffened midsole for torsional rigidity
One8 calls it the Functional Boom shank: a rigid plate between midsole and outsole that resists twist when you brace and drive, so the arch does not fold under a hard turn.

Sonic Foam cushioning and PWR+LCK heel
Lightweight foam that returns energy on take-off rather than just absorbing impact, with a heel-lock collar that keeps your foot from sliding inside the shoe during aggressive weight shifts at the crease.

Breathable mono mesh upper, Sonic Grip outsole
Mono mesh with synthetic toe overlays against toe drag, perforated forefoot panelling for airflow, ghillie lacing for even lockdown, and a Sonic Grip rubber outsole for traction between the spikes.
