↪ Squash Equipment Spies!
The Stabil Adidas brand of squash shoes is very popular amongst players on the PSA World Tour. Here are some of the Stabils that I’ve seen kicking around:
For 2012 Adidas has brought out the Adidas Stabil 10 series. There seem to be two strands of shoes.
First is the Adidas Court Stabil 10 model. I haven’t seen this shoe make an appearance on the pro tour yet, but I will keep my eyes out for it.
Adidas has also recently brought out the adipower Stabil 10 line, which has been used by James Willstrop and Alister Walker. The styles are quite similar to the Court Stabil 10s you see above, but I believe the adipower line is the higher-end model. It looks like this:
I’ve also spotted the Adidas adiPower Stabil shoes not too long ago. So far I’ve seen these in two styles. The white pair has been worn by recent world #1 Gregory Gaultier. There’s also a blue version.
Here are some Stabils from the Adidas Stabil Optifit line. These guys have been worn by Peter Barker and Jonathan Kemp.
I’ve seen the 2011 Adidas Stabil Optifit models on the feet of world #1 players James Willstrop and Gregory Gaultier, as well was many others. These were big back in 2011, and you can still find them some places, but it’s becoming difficult.
Here are the Adidas Essence 10 shoes in yellow. I like the yellow look. You can also find this yellow and blue style in the Adidas Court Stabil 10 range (a bit higher-priced) and the Adidas Adipower Stabil 10 shoes (the top of the Adidas range).

Here’s another new variety of the Adipower Stabil 10s. Love these too. Not quiiiite as much this color scheme (which I just ordered a pair of), but still high on the love scale.

To be honest I don’t really like the design of these. I think this is an earlier version of the Stabil Essence. I much prefer the style of the Stabil Essence 10. But every shoe has its defenders, so with that in mind, I give you the Adidas Stabil Essence in white and green:

These are dope. Hard to find though. There’s one store in France that seems to have a few pairs left. According to them these shoes were designed in the colors of the French flag.

Due to their rarity and their special colors, I dub these the red, white and bluenicorn. Not to be confused with the Shoenicorn.

Check out the latest entry in the Adidas Court Stabil series. I like the white/red/black color scheme on these.
Although the soles are black, they are non-marking court shoes, according to the Adidas Website.
These are new for 2012. So far I haven’t seen any pro players using them.
You can buy them at these affiliates:
Buy (US / Canada): amazon.com holabirdsports.com
Buy (UK): spartoo.co.uk
I’ve also seen the Court Stabil 10s in a blue/lime/white color scheme, like this:
I’ve only seen the blue ones available in the UK though.

Here’s another version in bright yellow and blue. Cool.

These original Adidas adiPower Stabil squash shoes have been spotted on Gregory Gaultier, former world #1 from France, as recently as October 2012.
This seems to be a new branch of the popular Adidas Stabil line of shoes.
These guys are mostly white but they seem to have orange highlights on one side of the shoe and an iron color on the other side of the shoe. Hmm.

Here’s another style: blue and white.

There’s also one in all-black. Doesn’t seem to be available anymore though. There seem to be a few pairs left here:

The Adidas Optifit Stabil squash shoes are quite popular on the men’s professional squash tour. They’ve been used by top-10 players Gregory Gaultier, James Willstrop and Peter Barker, as well as other players. They’re part of the Adidas Stabil line of shoes.
It looks like Peter Barker plays with this pair (source):
This Optifit “sharp blue” style is worn by Jonathan Kemp:
I’ve seen James Willstrop wear this exact pair in blue / silver (source):
And Gregory Gaultier seems to favor the white / silver / green pair:

There’s also this red guy:

And there’s even this crazy one, which is called the Adidas Stabil Optifit DHB, and is only worn by squash elves:
Here’s another I found called the Adidas Stabil Optifit FFH, apparently designed in the colors of the French flag:
While these shoes are mostly “out of print”, you can try your luck on eBay to see if there are any styles still available:
Squash players go through many pairs of shoes during the year, so if you look at pictures/videos of players you might see them wearing a different style (though they usually stick with one brand, especially if they are sponsored by that company).
