Most likely, this will be for American football, because the studs are only useful for traction in that sport. Screw in studs are nothing new to many sports, including Track and Field.

This seems another clever Nike marketing campaign and somehow i doubt that it will last that long, but that is just my humble two cents.....

I also doubt that it will be as "cost friendly" as people are supposing.  It won't cost as much as three pairs of boots, but it won't be far off!  History says savings - if that's why you're going with this system - will be nominal.

Like said, weight will be a factor here and I don't see this as good enough, unless their adapted for the cheap sub $80 replicas. I highly prefer the classic way of TPU injection. What they need to step up is on the sole plate design of each player's foot, period. It's nearly unbelievable how every single boot are made flat as hell like if we all have flat feet.   Seems very innovative but this would lead to an unorganized manner of their models.

The toe stud is mentioned in the patent and does apply to American Football, however the patent also references soccer and other sports, golf, baseball and so on - like I mentioned in the article this is a brand-wide initiative, applicable to any sport with a studded/bladed/cleated shoe - so there's no telling what Nike will end up doing with it! Would definitely be exciting to see come to Football though, don't you think?
