Nike Streak Volleyball Elbow Pads

Volleyball asks a lot of elbows. Every dive, every sprawl on the hardwood, and every dig attempt puts the elbow in direct contact with the floor, and the players who go after every ball know that unprotected elbows pay for that commitment in bruises and floor burns over the course of a season. The Nike Streak Volleyball Elbow Pads are built to absorb that contact and keep players diving confidently without the hesitation that comes from knowing the floor will win.

The padding is built from foam articulated in the areas of the elbow where impact and floor contact concentrate, providing cushioned protection right where it is needed without adding unnecessary bulk across the entire sleeve. The contoured construction follows the natural shape of the elbow and arm, fitting close to the body in a way that does not interfere with arm swing during attacks or passing motion during defensive play. Extra material coverage extends the protection zone beyond the foam padding itself, shielding the skin around the elbow from the minor abrasions that come with floor contact and court work over a long match. Nike Dri-FIT technology runs throughout the fabric, pulling moisture away from the skin and toward the surface of the material where it can evaporate, keeping the area under the pad dry and comfortable through extended play.

A breathable open knit construction at the inner elbow - the area where heat builds fastest during active use - enhances airflow through the most heat-sensitive part of the sleeve. The interior of the pad has a soft, brushed feel against the skin that reduces irritation during long wear. Each set is sold as a pair and is available in two sizes to fit the full range of adult players.

Q&A

Q: How do I choose between S/M and L/XL?
S/M is designed for smaller arm profiles and younger or smaller adult athletes. L/XL fits larger arms and provides more coverage. Nike designs these with an athletic, close fit - if you are between sizes or prefer more room and coverage, sizing up is recommended. Refer to Nike's elbow pad sizing guide for measurement instructions before purchasing.

Q: What does the open knit at the inner elbow do?
The breathable open knit construction at the inner elbow is a ventilation zone built into the area of the sleeve that traps the most heat during active play. The open weave allows air to circulate through the fabric at the joint, reducing the heat and moisture buildup that can cause discomfort and distraction over the course of a long match.

Q: Are these pads suitable for players who dive frequently?
Yes. The Streak Elbow Pads are specifically designed for the impact and abrasion that comes with floor contact during volleyball play. The foam padding in targeted areas absorbs the impact of dives and hard surface contact, and the extra material coverage around the padding zone protects the skin from the abrasions that come with repeatedly sliding along hardwood. The contoured fit keeps the pads in place through dynamic movement rather than riding up or shifting during play.

Q: Do these coordinate with the Nike Streak Volleyball Knee Pads?
Yes. The Nike Streak Volleyball Elbow Pads and Nike Streak Volleyball Knee Pads are part of the same product line and share the same Dri-FIT fabric technology, foam padding construction, and open-knit ventilation design in a coordinating aesthetic.
