Central jumping at every exchange, spiker attacking in suspension, receiver chaining before moving to the net: the adidas Crazyflight volleyball shoes are designed for players who often leave the ground. It's the brand's indoor model made for volleyball, for men, women, and children.
The Crazyflight features a lightweight foam midsole that aids in propulsion and stabilises the foot upon landing. The rubber outsole grips well on indoor courts. Above, a lightweight mesh upper keeps your foot cool during long matches.
The Crazyflight is available in two heights. The low version leaves the ankle completely free and makes the shoe lighter, which attackers are looking for. The Mid version rises over the ankle and wraps it, for a player wanting more support or who is recovering from a sprain. The choice is more about feeling than performance.
The women's models maintain the construction of the men's versions but are designed for the female foot, with unique colourways. The page also offers kids' sizes, in low and Mid cuts. A young player can thus wear the same pair as the adults in their club.
At adidas, sizes increase in thirds. Leave the width of a finger in front of your toes, wearing match socks. The Crazyflight generally follows your usual size; if in doubt, try them on at the end of the day when your foot has slightly swollen.
If you mostly play recreationally, the page adidas Novaflight offers a simpler indoor option for volley. The page adidas Ligra is suitable for a first purchase. For a defender seeking lateral support, the page adidas Stabil offers a model more focused on support. All the options are gathered on the page shoes adidas.
Older colourways and end-of-line models often go through the page special offers shoes and through the shoe clearance. The Black Friday shoes arrives at the end of autumn.
Yes, it grips well and remains stable on landing. However, a libero who spends the entire match in a low stance might prefer a shoe more focused on stability. The Crazyflight really shines among players who jump a lot.
The construction is the same, but the shape is adapted for the female foot, which is narrower at the heel. The colourways also differ. A female player with a wide foot can absolutely choose a men's model.
The mesh softens after a few sessions. Wear them for one or two training sessions before an important match. The Mid versions sometimes need a bit more time to soften the collar.
It's not recommended. The pavement quickly wears down the rubber on the sole and reduces its grip on wooden courts. Keep them for indoors and use another pair for the journey.
If you feel more impact in your knees or heels, or if the foam is visibly compressed on the sides, the cushioning is wearing out. A smooth outsole is another sign. For a regular player, this typically happens after a season.
