Yes, we know, we know, it’s July, we’re in the middle of Summer (well – supposedly, the weather doesn’t think so at the moment) and we shouldn’t be thinking of Christmas yet. However, Santa Claus has a long reaching arm and we’ve got a great product line up this year, so without further ado, our top netball Christmas products for 2023 are:
Netballs
You can’t play netball without a netball, and we’ve just loaded a good range of new ball designs and styles from big brands including Gilbert and Mitre.
Spotlights include:
- The Mitre Oasis Mini Netball – a mini version of the larger Oasis ball, the mini is ideal for gifting and recreational use.
- The Gilbert Pulse – a good quality netball with a blended rubber surface and Gilbert’s Duragrip pimple outer configuration. The Pulse comes in a range styles and colours including lime green as linked, blue, multicolour and red.
- The Gilbert Ultragrip – the Ultragrip is a match ball, designed to give an “ultra” experience on handling in all weather and surface conditions.
Netball Shoes
A decent pair of netball shoes are essential and they’re always well received by netball players, especially those who may play very frequently and as such go through shoes quickly.
Spotlights include:
- Asics GEL Netburner SUPER FF Netball Shoe – new for 2023, this is a performance shoe which utilises ASICS FLYTEFOAM technology inside for extra cushioning, plus their AHARPLUS outsole and removable ORTHOLITE sockliner. Available in sizes 5-8 in half size increments.
- Asics GEL-Netburner Academy 8 Netball Shoe – another new shoe for 2023, Academy shoes are designed specifically for netball players with spEVA midsoles, inner gel cushioning system, removable sockliner and reinforced with ASICS High Abrasion Resistance rubber for extra durability.
- ASICS GEL Pulse 6 netball shoe - ASICS are really on the ball with netball shoes this year; the ASICS GEL-Pulse 6 have 2 cushioning systems at the rear and forefoot, as well as full length guidance lines to aid gait efficiency, ASIC’s spEVA Midsole cushioning, AHAR+ Outsoles and ASIC’s Trusstic system to retain integrity whilst reducing the wright of the shoe.
Netball Bags
Who doesn’t need a new bag, especially when it comes to lugging around netball kit. We’ve got a wide range to cater for all needs, including:
- The Gilbert Club Rucksack V3 – A stylish, multi-compartment rucksack that can be used not only for sports equipment but also everyday activities such as the gym or training.
