First club, first indoor handball matches, or recreational player looking for a reliable pair: the Nike Hyperquick is a straightforward indoor shoe, featuring full-length foam cushioning and a rubber sole that grips the court.
It is available in adult and children's sizes, in classic colours or in SE editions.
Nike built the Hyperquick on simple, proven elements. A foam runs the full length of the sole for cushioning landings, and a rubber outsole grips the court. The upper combines a mesh base, reinforcements at the front of the foot, a TPU toe cap, and a padded nylon collar.
The collar stays low to keep the ankle free, but retailers describe it as close to a mid-high shaft in support. Its padding prevents rubbing when moving side to side.
The Hyperquick is available in children's sizes, in white as well as in an SE edition. For a young player discovering handball in a club, it's a sensible first pair of indoor shoes. The adult SE editions offer cream and blue, white and pink, or cream and purple colourways.
Originally designed for volleyball, the Hyperquick serves well for a child or recreational player in handball. Beyond a few sessions a week, or for a position exposed to contact, a more technical shoe will provide better support.
For more technology, the Hyperace adds an Air Zoom unit at the front and a heavily padded collar, while the Hyperset features Flywire cables tightened by the laces. The Hyperspeed Court remains low and light, and the Hyperattack completes the family. All pairs from the brand are on the Nike shoes page.
For a children's pair that will only be used for one growth season, the junior clearance is worth checking out, as are the special offers on shoes.
Yes, that's what it's made for: a simple, cushioned, and grippy shoe offered in children's sizes. Leave about a centimetre in front of the toes for growth, but not more than that, otherwise the foot will float in the fittings.
Both are lightweight indoors for beginners or casual play. The Hyperquick focuses on full-length foam, while the Hyperspeed Court features a Zoom Air unit under the toes and enhanced support in the midfoot. Try them out if you can: the feel underfoot makes a difference.
It's better to avoid that. Clean the upper with a soft brush and soapy water, wipe the sole, and then let it air dry with the laces loosened.
It is made for indoor floors and shouldn't leave marks if the sole is clean. Save the pair for the gym: gravel embedded in the rubber is enough to scratch a court.
Most of the time, the child changes size before wearing out the sole. Check the length at every new school year and as soon as they complain of having pain in their toes.
