Chardi Apparel was founded in Vancouver, British Columbia, by volleyball players who shared one frustration: finding shoes that delivered elite performance without an elite price tag.
After years of playing, training, and competing, we experienced the same problem countless athletes face. The best-performing volleyball shoes were often too expensive, while more affordable options lacked the grip, comfort, support, and durability needed to perform at your best.
We believed players shouldn’t have to compromise.
That’s why we created Chardi Apparel—to build volleyball footwear that combines premium performance, thoughtful design, and everyday affordability. Every feature is engineered with athletes in mind, from responsive cushioning and reliable traction to lightweight comfort and long-lasting durability, so you can focus on what matters most: your game.
Our first release, the Rising 1’s, reflects that mission. Designed for players who train hard, compete with confidence, and demand more from their footwear, it’s built to help you perform at every level.
From our home in Vancouver, BC, we’re committed to making high-quality volleyball gear more accessible to athletes everywhere.
Because we believe great performance shouldn’t come with an impossible price tag.
