Kookaburra Vapor Men’s Hockey Shoes
The Kookaburra Vapor Men’s Hockey Shoes are performance-focused field hockey shoes designed for players who want speed, control and reliable traction on grass or artificial turf in New Zealand. Ideal for competitive club matches, training sessions and high-intensity play.
Built to keep you agile and confident, these shoes support quick sprints, tight turns and explosive shots while protecting your feet and ankles.
Speed, Grip and Stability
The lightweight construction allows fast footwork without compromising support. The highly progressive outsole gives excellent grip on synthetic and natural surfaces, helping you stay planted when changing direction or stopping abruptly.
A rubberised toe box and reinforced heel add durability in high-wear areas and maintain stability through tackles and hard landings. The padded ankle collar and moulded foam insole provide comfort for repeated sprints, lunges and lateral movements during training and matches.
Fit and Lockdown
The elasticated knitted sock ensures a snug, adaptive fit around your foot, while Q Lock lacing technology keeps your foot secure during sharp cuts and fast pivots. This combination reduces unwanted movement inside the shoe, giving you confidence to attack or defend without distraction.
