On a volleyball court, the three stripes of adidas follow the player from warm-up to the final set, and Direct-Volley's selection of adidas shoes features the Crazyflight and the Novaflight at the forefront. The German brand adds the Ligra to start, the Stabil for lateral support, and signature indoor lines.
For men, women, and juniors, in low-top or mid-top styles.
The Crazyflight targets players who jump a lot: its responsive cushioning propels you at take-off and supports the foot on landing, all topped off with a light mesh. Two heights to choose from: low or Mid to wrap around the ankle. The Novaflight, simpler, is mainly aimed at players who train once or twice a week. Finally, the Ligra is a good first volley shoe for a young player or a casual player.
The Stabil is a handball shoe, highlighted here for volleyball players who defend. Its cushioning and structure that supports the foot during changes of support make it a good option for a casual volleyball player or a defender looking for lateral support. However, an attacker who jumps every exchange will be better served by the Crazyflight. Check your size in the size guide of the product sheet.
Part of the adidas selection comes from other indoor sports. These signature models bear the name of players and focus on cushioning and style. They are suitable for indoor use, but tend to be heavier and less geared towards repeated jumping than a volley shoe.
adidas sizes are measured in thirds, which allows for a more precise choice between two sizes. Leave about a centimetre in front of your big toe with your sports socks on. If you're in doubt between two sizes, go for the larger third.
Discounted adidas shoes can be found on the special footwear offers page, and clearance items in the shoe clearance. At the end of autumn, the Black Friday footwear precedes Christmas and the shoe sales.
The Crazyflight is the brand's most advanced model for volley, especially for a player who jumps a lot. The Novaflight and Ligra are suitable for casual players and youth. The Stabil is a supportive model, heavier.
It depends on the model: the size guide on each product page provides the right reference. The third-size system allows for precise adjustments.
The low version is lighter and leaves the ankle free. The Mid wraps around the ankle and reassures a player who has already had a sprain. The rest of the shoe is identical.
A Harden or Dame grips well on court and can work in a pinch. However, they are heavier and less responsive for consecutive jumps. For regular volley play, a Crazyflight or Novaflight is still preferable.
Children's models mirror the design and construction of adult versions, just in smaller sizes. The Crazyflight and Novaflight are available in children's sizes. It's a good way to equip a young player like the older ones.
