Asics Powerbreak volleyball shoes
Libero who plays low, receiver who handles float serves, defender who goes to the side on every opposing attack: the Asics Powerbreak shoes are designed for those who play close to the court and need a stable base.
The page offers the Powerbreak FF in men's, women's, and mixed styles, as well as a few junior models.
Powerbreak FF: stability from Asics
The Powerbreak FF is the indoor shoe from Asics designed for stability: it aims to keep the foot steady when shifting to the side. The lightweight FlyteFoam cushioning absorbs each landing. The result is a shoe that prioritises control over explosiveness.
Libero, receiver, defender: who it is for
This is the pair for back positions. A libero who executes chase moves, dives, and plays could find a reliable base here. A receiver-attacker who defends a lot might also choose it. The central player, on the other hand, jumps more and will look towards the Sky Elite.
A Powerbreak for young players
Some models on the page are designed for juniors. They offer a young defender the same stable base as adults. As always with children, choose a size that leaves a little space in front of the toes, not more.

Frequently asked questions
Powerbreak or Netburner for a libero?
Both fit the foot well. The Powerbreak is designed for stability, while the Netburner is for quick foot placement and direction changes. If you often play with low support, the Powerbreak is a safe choice.
Does the Powerbreak come in junior sizes?
Yes, the page offers some junior models, tailored for young defenders. Check the size chart on the product page, specific to children's sizes.
What does FF mean in Powerbreak FF?
FF refers to FlyteFoam, the lightweight foam family from Asics. It's featured in several models from the brand, in various forms.
Powerbreak or Sky Elite for a receiver-attacker?
It all depends on what dominates your game. If you attack a lot, the Sky Elite will support your jumps better. If you spend more time receiving and defending, the Powerbreak will provide better foot stability.
Do you need knee pads with a defender's shoe?
The shoe does not protect the knee on the ground. A libero who dives often would benefit from wearing knee pads, in addition to a stable pair like the Powerbreak.
