Description
The Nivia Encounter 11.0 football shoe in Arabian Green combines a synthetic leather upper with stitched vamp, dual-layer foam collar, die-cut cushion sockliner, and a high-shear strength TPU outsole with round studs. The Encounter 11.0 is Nivia’s all-round football stud designed for players who play across multiple surface types throughout the week — school grounds on weekdays, coaching academy pitches in the evenings, and local tournament fields on weekends. The Arabian Green colorway with contrasting blue TPU sole makes this one of the more visually distinctive Nivia football shoes in the current lineup. Currently available in size 4 at Sports Galaxy.
WHY THE NIVIA ENCOUNTER 11.0 FOOTBALL SHOE WORKS FOR ALL-ROUND PLAY
Most budget football shoes are designed with a single surface type in mind — blade studs for firm ground, hexagon studs for hard ground, flat soles for indoor courts. The Encounter 11.0 takes a different approach with its round stud configuration that performs consistently across all outdoor surfaces. Round studs provide even grip in every direction — forward sprints, lateral cuts, backward movement, and pivots — without the stud catching or dragging in the surface. For Indian players who rarely have the luxury of playing on a single surface type, this versatility is a practical advantage.
The stitched vamp adds ball control that entry-level Nivia football boots typically lack. The raised stitching across the forefoot creates micro-textured zones that grip the ball during first touches, close dribbling, and instep passes. Combined with the synthetic leather’s firm-yet-responsive surface, the vamp gives players a predictable ball feel that builds better technique over time. This matters especially for developing players at school, academy, and club level who are working on their passing accuracy and touch.
PERFORMANCE FEATURES OF THE NIVIA ENCOUNTER 11.0 FOOTBALL STUDS
Round Stud TPU Outsole for Multi-Surface Grip
The high-shear strength TPU outsole features round studs arranged for multi-directional traction. On natural grass, the studs penetrate the surface for grip during acceleration and turns. On hard-packed ground — the most common surface at Indian school grounds and municipal parks — the round studs distribute pressure evenly without creating uncomfortable pressure points underfoot. The TPU material is abrasion-resistant and flexible, bending naturally with the foot during running and kicking motions. Player feedback consistently rates the Encounter 11.0’s grip as one of its strongest features across Nivia football studs in this price range.
Synthetic Leather Upper Built for Indian Conditions
The synthetic leather upper is designed to resist water absorption — keeping the shoe lightweight and maintaining its shape even when playing on damp, dewy, or lightly wet surfaces. On Indian grounds where morning training sessions often start on dew-covered grass and evening games run into dusty, dry conditions, the synthetic leather handles both extremes without deteriorating. The material also resists scuffing and surface damage from the rough, stony patches common on many Indian school and community football fields. Among Nivia football shoes for men, the Encounter 11.0’s synthetic leather provides a good balance of durability and ball feel.
Dual-Layer Foam Collar for Heel Security
The ankle area is lined with two layers of high-density foam that serve distinct purposes. The inner layer provides soft, immediate cushioning against the skin, preventing rubbing and blisters during extended play. The outer layer retains its shape and structure, keeping the collar from collapsing flat after repeated wear. This dual-layer design creates a heel fit that improves over time — the foam gradually molds to the player’s ankle shape, reducing heel lift during sprints. For players who train regularly, the collar maintains its cushioned support even after months of daily use.
Die-Cut Sockliner and Lightweight Insole
The die-cut soft cushion sockliner provides precision-shaped cushioning that absorbs ground impact, while the lightweight insole beneath adds internal grip and structural support. Together, they prevent the foot from sliding inside the shoe during sudden stops and direction changes. The sockliner is fully removable for cleaning and drying — essential after playing on wet ground — and can be replaced when cushioning performance reduces. This two-layer underfoot system gives the Encounter 11.0 better comfort and support than single-insole Nivia football footwear at comparable prices.
SURFACE COMPATIBILITY OF THE NIVIA ENCOUNTER 11.0 FOOTBALL SHOE
Natural Grass
The round studs grip effectively on well-maintained grass pitches and patchy, uneven grass common at public parks and community grounds. The studs penetrate the surface cleanly and release without excessive drag, allowing smooth movement during sprints and turns.
Hard-Packed Ground
On the dry, hard-packed surfaces found at most Indian school grounds and playground areas, the round studs distribute weight evenly and provide stable footing without the discomfort that longer blade studs can cause on hard surfaces. The TPU sole flexes naturally with foot movement, absorbing some of the impact that hard ground transmits upward.
Firm Ground
On firm, well-compacted pitches — coaching academy grounds, maintained club fields — the Encounter 11.0 delivers reliable traction for high-intensity play including sprints, direction changes, and competitive match situations.
Artificial Turf
Player feedback indicates the round studs perform adequately on artificial turf surfaces, though dedicated turf shoes with shorter, more closely spaced studs would be optimal for regular turf-only use. For players who occasionally play on turf between natural ground sessions, the Encounter 11.0 handles both without issues.
WHO SHOULD BUY THE NIVIA ENCOUNTER 11.0 FOOTBALL SHOE ARABIAN GREEN
The Nivia Encounter 11.0 in Arabian Green is built for players who need one versatile shoe for varied playing surfaces and conditions. It is a practical choice for midfielders and attackers who value the stitched vamp for ball control during passing and dribbling, players who train on multiple surfaces throughout the week and need consistent all-round Nivia football shoes, school and college footballers participating in inter-school tournaments on different ground types, weekend and recreational players looking for reliable grip and comfort from their Nivia football boots, and players who prefer a distinctive green colorway that stands out on the pitch.
The Arabian Green with blue sole gives this shoe a bold, eye-catching look while delivering the same proven performance. Currently available in size 4 at Sports Galaxy.
NIVIA ENCOUNTER 11.0 FOOTBALL SHOE SIZING AND FIT
This Arabian Green variant is available in size 4 at Sports Galaxy. The Encounter 11.0 runs true to size for players with regular-width feet. The synthetic leather upper holds its shape without overstretching, providing consistent fit over months of use. The dual-layer foam collar molds to the ankle after a few sessions, improving heel security progressively. Players with wider feet may want to consider sizing up by half, as synthetic leather offers less give than natural leather. The removable sockliner provides some fit flexibility — removing it creates a small amount of extra room inside the shoe.

Q4. How does the Encounter 11.0 compare with the Nivia Carbonite 7.0?
Ans. The Encounter 11.0 has a stitched vamp for better ball control, dual-layer foam collar for heel comfort, and round studs for multi-ground grip. The Carbonite 7.0 uses a smooth synthetic leather upper with die-cut EVA sockliner and round studs. The Encounter 11.0 is the better choice for players who want improved ball feel and ankle comfort. Both are solid Nivia football shoes in the budget range.
Q5. Does the stitched vamp improve ball control?
Ans. Yes. The stitched vamp creates raised, textured zones across the forefoot that increase friction between the shoe and ball. This improves grip during first touches, trapping, passing, and dribbling — particularly useful for developing players working on their technique.
Q6. Is the sockliner removable?
Ans. Yes. The die-cut soft cushion sockliner is fully removable for cleaning, drying, or replacement.
Q7. How is the Encounter 11.0 different from the Encounter MG 11.0?
Ans. The Encounter 11.0 uses round studs for multi-directional grip across varied surfaces. The Encounter MG 11.0 uses hexagon and blade-shaped studs designed specifically for multi-ground performance with more aggressive traction. The standard Encounter 11.0 is the more versatile, safer option for players who play on many different surface types. The MG version suits players who want more aggressive grip on maintained grass and firm ground.
