Adidas Vector Mid Cricket Shoe 2024
Overview
The Adidas Vector Mid Cricket Shoe 2024 delivers elite-level performance for fast bowlers, now in a sharp new colourway for the season. One of the most trusted bowling shoes in professional cricket, it combines high-impact protection, precision fit, and innovative stabilisation technology to withstand the demands of a fast bowler's action. With a dual-fit system featuring both traditional lacing and the BOA tightening system, the Vector Mid offers unmatched support, security, and comfort at the crease.
Design and Materials
The Vector Mid's standout feature is the hybrid closure system -- a combination of full laces and the BOA dial for additional midfoot lockdown during high-impact landings. A bevelled heel aids in a smoother jump-to-landing transition, while a mid-cut design and internal support cage enhance ankle and midfoot stability. The shoe's EVA midsole with adiprene cushioning absorbs shock through the heel, reducing fatigue and protecting joints. A lightweight TPU outsole maintains grip and structural integrity without adding unnecessary weight -- ideal for bowlers looking to maintain speed and control throughout their spell.
