Netball

03 July 2025 2 min read

When speed, control, and comfort come together, magic happens on the court. Whether you're dominating in netball or making fast cuts indoors, the new Gilbert Ignite Court Trainer is the ultimate footwear innovation designed to elevate your game. Meticulously engineered for elite performance, this trainer delivers on every front—traction, stability, and responsiveness.

Performance Starts from the Ground Up

The Gilbert Ignite Court features a high-performance rubber compound that provides unmatched grip on indoor courts. Expect explosive traction with every pivot, sprint, or jump. And thanks to the increased rubber surface area, you get more contact with the ground—translating into greater control, stability, and confidence with every move.

Powered by Genius Foam Midsole

At the heart of the Ignite Court Trainer lies Gilbert’s Genius foam midsole technology, which delivers responsive cushioning without sacrificing comfort. Whether you're pushing through a full match or a hard training session, your feet stay protected and energised.

DURA CARBON RUBBER+: All-Surface Power

Made for the grind, the DURA CARBON RUBBER+ compound is carbon-enhanced for extra grip, traction, and long-lasting durability. Strategically placed in high-wear zones, it’s tough enough for outdoor use yet precise for indoor courts.

  • Hard-wearing and grippy

  • Enhanced performance for indoor surfaces

  • Strategic durability where it counts most

Pivot with Precision

Slipping and sliding are things of the past. The Ignite Court boasts a multi-directional outsole featuring pivot points and grooves that support sharp changes in direction. A rounded outsole specifically designed for netball improves both stability and longevity—because your game deserves both.

Engineered Stability: TPU TORQUE 8

Featuring a unique TPU Torque 8 shank insert, this trainer is built to prevent mid-foot twisting while offering arch support. The result? A shoe that moves with you—never against you.

Support Where It Matters Most

The super soft collar hugs your ankle, offering premium comfort and roll protection. Combined with the Ortholite X25 footbed, your feet will feel locked in and supported, no matter how intense the play gets.

Lightweight Armour: RIPSTOP XP UPPER + XP CRADLE SYSTEM

Durability meets breathability with the RIPSTOP XP upper—a lightweight, abrasion-resistant material reinforced in high-stress areas. The XP Cradle System, a welded TPU external structure, ensures your foot stays secure during quick lateral moves, giving you the confidence to push harder with every play.

The best in the game. 

The Gilbert Ignite Court Trainer is more than a shoe—it's your competitive edge. Designed for netball, built for indoor dominance, and tested for performance under pressure. Step into the Ignite, and feel the difference where it matters most—on the court. Read our other blogs here
