boots color

Money.

The ABs seem to be the only team without DaGlo flourescent boots. Black boots only for them.

Because their sponsor (Adidas) special made the black boots for them. I doubt we have such a level of commitment from Asics (if they even make boots?).

They do, but our team's sponsorship setup is different. The All Blacks are centrally sponsored by Adidas, I think. So all their kit is Adidas. Our players have individual sponsors along with the Asics one. Like Matfield and Le Roux are sponsored by Puma, so they wear Puma boots. De Villiers is sponsored by Adidas (likely because of the Stormers connection), so he wears their boots, etc.
 
Sponsored boots, looks cool and even sometimes helps with TMO calls.
The ABs have the Adidas full kit sponsor, and All Blacks with black boots makes sense :)
