The tyre manufacturer Michelin took part in the sole of the Wing Lite: it's one of the selling points of the Kempa Christmas shoes, indoor footwear from the German brand that perform really well on the volley court.
Wing Lite and Wing for speed, Attack and K-Float for support, Kourtfly and Wing 3.0 in kids' sizes: perfect for treating a club player as well as a young beginner.
The Wing Lite is the most prominent indoor shoe at the top of the page, available in men's and women's versions. Designed for speed, it remains lightweight and grips well on the court thanks to its Michelin sole. The colours range from pure white to black and neon yellow, including deep white and blue. The Wing Lite 3.0, in white, lime green, and black, follows the same concept.
Kempa has worked with Michelin on the outsole of several models, including the Wing Lite. This sole is recognizable by its hexagonal patterns and pivot zones, designed to grip at the start without hindering turns. As a gift, it's an easy selling point for a player who wears out their soles quickly.
Young players have their own family at Kempa: the Kourtfly, prominently featured on the page, with colours that move away from classic white to neon yellow, purple, or fuchsia pink. The Wing 3.0 also comes in children's sizes, in white highlighted with lime green or aqua. When it comes to shoe size, a child often changes size from one season to the next: check the length of their foot before buying.
The Attack is aimed at players looking for a more enveloping shoe than the Wing Lite. The K-Float focuses on shock absorption, useful for long sessions. These are the two Kempa to consider for a heavier player or one who needs reassurance in their stance.
The Kempa shoes on the page are all designed for indoor sports, and they work well for volleyball. You’ll find what a libero or setter needs: grip, a low sole, and secure footing for short movements. An attacker who jumps at each exchange will look more for cushioning in the front of a volleyball shoe, like those on the Mizuno shoes Mizuno page or the Asics shoes Asics page.
To compare, the Salming shoes Salming come from Sweden with the Viper Pro, Hummel shoes Hummel mix indoor and sneakers, and Puma shoes Puma focus on their Nitro foam. The Stabil from adidas shoes adidas also plays in this field. The entire range is on the Christmas shoes page.
Discounts during the season are available through the Christmas special offers, and special shoe offers stay open all year. For a pair that needs to be sent quickly, the shoes shipped in 24 hours only include models ready to go.
Filter the page by age and size: children's models like the Kourtfly are a good starting point. For adults, check the special shoe offers, which feature pairs at reduced prices.
The Wing Lite, lightweight and grippy, follows a libero's quick movements well. If you want more support in your stance, look at the Attack or K-Float. Try them on with your match socks, and ask your club what they expect in terms of soles, as gyms have their rules.
No, the Wing Lite is one of the lightweight indoor options. What may vary is the cushioning, designed more for lateral support than for repeated jumps in volleyball. In casual play, the difference is minimal.
Have them stand on a piece of paper, heel against a wall, and mark the tip of the longest toe. Measure at the end of the day, add a little margin, and compare it against the size guide for the model.
Yes, the Wing Lite is available in a women's version with its own colours, and several models are unisex. Filter the page by gender to see only suitable pairs, and follow the size guide, as women's and unisex sizing differ.
