Elite-Tier Specs & Performance Technology
The Volanti Pro aggressively stacks premium, industry-leading performance materials to maximize on-court responsiveness and mechanical advantage:
-
V-Bounce Midsole & Rocket Air Cushion: The primary foam layer consists of PEBA-bead supercritical foamed material (the gold standard for energy return). Embedded directly into the forefoot is an oversized, square-shaped nitrogen air unit (Rocket Air). The setup is highly resilient underfoot, creating an explosive push-off and a cushion ceiling that easily supports players up to 100 kg.
-
V1300 Military-Grade Carbon Fiber Plate: Embedded within the chassis is a 10-layer, dual-forked 3D carbon plate. It provides immense torsional rigidity to prevent lateral rollover and extends into the forefoot to act as a spring, delivering a powerful “snap-back” sensation with every stride.
-
Dragonfly Wing TPU Mono-Mesh Upper: The upper features a high-tensile TPU woven mono-mesh (similar to Li-Ning’s Boom Fiber). It is paper-thin, breathable, and virtually stretch-resistant, locking the foot firmly over the footbed during hard lateral cuts while keeping overall weight down.
-
GCU Liquid Rubber Outsole: Outfitted with a premium GCU liquid rubber compound, the traction pattern bites exceptionally well on pristine indoor hardwoods and dust-laden PU courts alike.
🏀 On-Court Performance & Target Audience
-
Ultra-Lightweight Sensation: Weighing only around 300g for a standard size 41, the shoe feels like an extension of your own foot, drastically reducing fatigue over long sessions.
-
Ideal Playing Style: Tailored for light-to-medium weight quick guards and slashing forwards who rely on sudden changes of direction, as well as students preparing for intensive physical agility exams (shuttle runs, agility drills, and vertical jumps).
-
The “Break-In” Period: The shoe requires an initial break-in period of 1 to 2 sessions. Once the rigid mono-mesh upper settles and the forefoot nitrogen air unit is fully stepped-in, the cushion and energy return become fully optimized.
📐 Official Sizing Guide & Fit Advice
Because Volanti originates as a running shoe manufacturer, the shoe last naturally inherits a narrow, low-profile race fit. Furthermore, the entire product line does not offer half sizes (e.g., no EUR 42.5 or 44.5).
-
Narrow / Standard Feet (For a True Lockdown Fit): Go True to Size (TTS) based on your actual foot length (CM). It will feel very snug during your first few wears until the upper and midsole conform to your foot shape.
-
Wide Feet / High Arches / Prefer Comfort: You MUST go one full size up. The rigid TPU mesh upper has zero stretch, and the wide carbon plate restricts forefoot expansion. Staying true-to-size will cause painful pinky toe pinching.
