Concave Volt+ Knit: Initial Impressions of the Insurgent Force Pack Release

Concave is a brand that continues to make steady, positive progress. The newest model, the Volt+ Knit, has just arrived and offers a distinct combination of speed-focused performance and a low-cut knit ankle collar. This boot needs close inspection to fully appreciate its design. A full review will follow, but here are early observations on this latest release, part of the Insurgent Force Pack.

First Impressions and Notable Features

Many boot manufacturers struggle to evolve, often just following trends or player expectations. Concave, however, has shown a willingness to listen to feedback and make subtle improvements while staying true to its core philosophy. The Volt+ Knit is another example of that approach, with clear enhancements in both presentation and performance.

Presentation and Packaging

Concave has upgraded the unboxing experience. The boots come in a box with a cross-paneled window on the top, giving a premium feel right from the start.

Boot Bag

A new perforated-style boot bag accompanies the release. It is extremely soft and feels more expensive than many traditional boot bags—one that users might be proud to display.

Knit Collar

Unlike the compression collars found on Nike and adidas models, this micro-yarn collar is designed primarily for ankle comfort. It also changes how the PowerStrike technology works. The knit covers the PowerStrike, reducing the curvature along the sides and creating a more uniform striking area that still falls within the power category.

PowerStrike Technology

Compared to earlier Concave boots, the PowerStrike on this version feels thinner and more pliable. It folds easily under the fingers, making it more responsive across the foot upon ball contact. Further testing will be needed to confirm its full impact.

Final Thoughts on Fit and Audience

Is this the boot that would convert someone into a dedicated Concave user? For the author, the answer is no. That is not because of poor performance or any bias against the brand. Simply put, the Volt+ Knit does not match a personal preference for streamlined, collarless designs. However, that does not mean it will not suit other players. In fact, this is considered the best Concave release to date. The additional padding across the upper forefoot may also offer extra protection for those who need it in that area.
