Adidas actually do not make a squash-specific shoe. They make handball and volleyball shoes, which are appropriate for the squash court.

Versions: Men | Women

Stabil | Court Stabil | Essence | Ligra | Crazyflight X | Crazyflight Bounce | Crazyflight Team

Adidas Stabil

These are one of the top-end Adidas squash shoes. Usually that means these have the most cushioning, but are the most expensive.

The Adidas Stabil X was spotted in June 2017 and seems to be the latest edition of Adidas’s top-end shoe:

The Adidas Stabil Boost 20Y was spotted in February 2017:

The Adidas Stabil Boost II came out in August 2016:

The Adidas Stabil Boost came out in 2015:

Adidas Court Stabil

This is a mid-range shoe from Adidas — a little less cushioning, a little lighter, and a little less expensive than the Adipower Stabil.

Spotted in 2017, a new version called simply Adidas Court Stabil:

The 2016 version was the Adidas Court Stabil 13:

The 2015 version was the Adidas Court Stabil 12:

Adidas Team Spezial

The Adidas Team Spezial is a new model for 2016. It’s marketed as a handball shoe (like the Stabil / Court Stabil / Essence above). I haven’t seen any squash players using it yet, but it looks similar to some of the Stabil models from several years ago, so I wonder if it’ll catch on.

Adidas Counterblast

The Adidas Counterblast are all non-marking court shoes for the indoor market, just like the Adipower Stabil, Court Stabil and Essence above, except the Counterblast are generally lighter and have less padding.

At the top of the Counterblast range is the Adidas Counterblast Falcon, which runs about £100.

        Pretty decent pair of shoes. Coming from the Adidas Stabil 10.1 this certainly not in the same class. But if you need an affordable pair I think you won’t go wrong with this.
