A headband that keeps your hair in place during the match, a short pair of shorts that allows freedom of movement in a low defence? The Nike Black Friday collection has the answer: Flex Classic headbands and Premier, sponge wristbands and women's Performance shorts.
A Dri-FIT Form hoodie, t-shirts, gloves and some winter accessories complete the selection.
The Women's Performance shorts are short match shorts made from Dri-FIT fabric that wicks away sweat, featuring an elastic waistband. They are available in black, navy, red, and royal blue, the colours most teams wear. A Dri-FIT version in royal or red further expands the options to match the shorts with the jersey.
The Flex Classic headbands come in packs of various widths to change according to your hairstyle or the intensity of your session. The Premier headbands tie behind the head, in colours like pink, sapphire, light blue, orange, pale green, or ivory. A final model of headband rounds out the selection.
The Swoosh terry cloth wristbands, wide and sold in pairs, stop sweat from running down to your hands. In volley, they help maintain a good grip on the ball before serving or making a high pass, especially in gyms where it gets hot.
Black and silver, the Dri-FIT Form hoodie is worn for running in cold weather or during strength sessions. The grey WM t-shirt, along with a few jerseys and sweatshirts, completes the upper body gear, to train under the Swoosh logo.
The gloves, including the Alpha training gloves Elite, neck warmers, scarf, and beanie are for warming up outside and for trips to the gym. They also make small gifts to accompany a more significant present at Christmas.
Nike is mainly known to volleyball players for their indoor shoes, which are highly present in gyms. To find them on sale, head to Black Friday shoes, and for the rest of the small accessories, check out the accessories from Black Friday.
All brands can be found at Black Friday textile. After Christmas, head to the women's sales and the textile sales.
The family filter set to shorts will show all the Women's Performance shorts from the promotion. Narrow it down by colour to find your team's shade.
Choose a width suitable for your hairstyle and place it on dry hair, tied back if possible. A tied headband adjusts more precisely than an elastic headband.
Fabric softener clogs this fabric and causes it to lose its ability to wick sweat: wash the shorts inside out at thirty degrees, without it. It dries quickly on a hanger; there's no need for the tumble dryer.
They are fitted, like most volley shorts. If you are between sizes, measure your hip circumference and compare it to the size chart.
They are not essential, but they prevent sweat from reaching the hands during service. Players who sweat a lot quickly adopt them.
