In the modern game, speed has become integral. Whether you are leading a counterattack or sprinting back to make a tackle, your footwear is ultimately the foundation of your performance. At Grays Hockey, we’ve worked alongside elite international ambassadors and product development specialists to meticulously create a range that offers the perfect balance of lightweight agility, comfort and stability.
Our 26/27 hockey shoe collection is headlined by the much-anticipated AeroCage X10 and the groundbreaking, women’s-specific AeroCage XW10. Here is why these shoes are the competitive edge you’ve been looking for.
1. AeroCage XW10: Built for the Female Athlete
We are excited to introduce the latest evolution in women’s hockey footwear: a shoe built specifically for the modern female athlete. This shoe is built from the ground up using our Comfort Fit Women's Specific Performance Last.
By matching the unique anatomical structure of the female foot, the AeroCage XW10 features a narrower heel, reduced midfoot volume, and a more tapered toe box. This anatomically contoured fit improves lockdown and reduces internal slippage, providing the tailored comfort and agility required for elite-level play.
Grays Hockey ambassador, GB & England Hockey Captain Lily Walker says;
“It is great that Grays have created a shoe specifically designed for women. Having a shoe that is more tailored to my feet helps me feel more controlled and stable when performing. The design creates more support and helps me to feel more confident stepping on to the pitch.”
2. Elite Performance - AeroCage X10
After 2 years of global backing, the popular Aerocage X has undergone yet another round of strategic innovation. Brining you its successor, the AeroCage X10. Crafted precisely for athletes who demand the most from their game, this brand-new design is available in a striking White/Orange or a fresh Mint colourway – it's the go to shoe for dozens of our international ambassadors.
Every element of the AeroCage X series is engineered for speed, power, and control. It’s lightweight enough for those explosive sprints but stable enough to protect you during tackles and quick pivots.
3. Next-Gen Midsole: Genius Foam Technology
Both the AeroCage XW10 and AeroCage X10 feature our new Genius Foam Midsole. Specifically developed for the high-impact demands of top-level hockey, this system uses a proprietary lightweight EVA-blend compound. This acts as a high-performance shock absorber on impact, immediately transitioning into energy return to propel you forward with every stride. In other words? You’ll naturally run faster. Combined with the Ortholite X25 Footbed and our I.P.S System (a full-length 30-degree foam platform), these shoes offer a level of comfort that lasts.
4. Explosive Traction, Ultimate Grip
Stability is nothing without substantial grip, and no one likes to slip up. Our A.S.C Outsole features a low-profile, high-traction design with a multi-directional grip pattern. This delivers explosive traction on both water-based and sand-based turfs. By keeping the profile low-to-the-ground, we’ve enhanced responsiveness during high-speed transitions, allowing for aggressive and confident directional changes without the risk of rolling or slipping.
5. Keeping It Ultra-Lightweight
The days of running round a pitch with heavy shoes slowing us down are gone, speed and agility are in. The AeroCage X range utilises an ultra-lightweight construction that doesn't compromise on strength or protection. The Supportive Performance Structure incorporates strategic overlays and internal reinforcements to ensure midfoot lockdown. What does this mean? An enhanced level of lateral support in vital moments such as quick pivots and sudden bursts of speed that define the playmakers.
6. The Right Fit for Your Game
Choosing the right hockey shoe is about ensuring your choice supports your natural movement. Our entire new Grays Hockey shoe collection (including the new Raid 3.0, and Stealth hockey shoes) offers elite-level technology across two distinct fits to ensure every player can perform at their optimal level without restrictions.
