Cheer Shoe Brands Compared

Sorted lightest first. Weights and prices as each brand lists them, October 2026; most brands do not say which size was weighed, and prices can change.

Nike Cheer Shoes

Nike sells two cheer shoes: the Power Flight ($120, women's 5 to 14) and the Sideline IV ($85, women's 5 to 15, with a little kids' version). Nike describes the Power Flight as having grip for stunting and the Sideline IV as offering a natural feel with a rubber tread. Nike does not list a weight for either, and notes that the Sideline IV fits small and recommends a half size up.

Nfinity lists weights from 3.8 oz on its competition shoes, and every Nfinity style runs from youth 10 to adult 14, so one style can fit a whole team.

Varsity Cheer Shoes, Including the Phantom

Varsity sells its own line, sized 10C to 14 in white or black. The Phantom ($144.95) lists a 4.0 oz build with a carbon fiber plate for tumblers, bases and flyers. The Aeros Elite 2 ($155.95) is a mid-top competition shoe, and the Full Out ($139.95) is built for tumbling landings.

For athletes weighing the Phantom, the Nfinity Flyte and Alpha both list 3.8 oz and the Vengeance 3.9 oz. For a mid-top like the Aeros Elite 2, the Nfinity Beast Mid-Top adds a patented integrated external ankle brace.

Chasse Cheer Shoes

Chasse shoes are sold through Omni Cheer. The Ace II ($49.99, 5.6 oz) is made for sideline cheering or stunting, and the Surge ($42.99, 7.35 oz) for practices and game day; both come in white. For a side-by-side of a competition Chasse model and the Vengeance, see Nfinity Vengeance vs Chasse Flip IV.

For school and sideline teams comparing Chasse prices, the Nfinity Fearless is built for school athletes, with multi-surface grip for game day and competition.

GK and Omni Cheer Shoes

GK Elite does not sell shoes on its own site. The GK Rush Zero (4.7 oz) is listed at Omni Cheer with limited availability. Omni Cheer's own Ion Cheer Action 2.0 ($36.99, 5.29 oz) is made for youth to intermediate cheerleaders. Omni Cheer also carries the Nfinity Evolution.

BCG Cheer Shoes at Academy

BCG is Academy Sports' brand. The Women's Cheer Tumbler 2.0 ($39.99) comes in white with interchangeable color cards, sized women's 6 to 10, and Academy's own specs list it as not slip resistant. The Cheer Layout 2.0 ($49.99) is made for practice.

ASICS and adidas Cheer Shoes

As of October 2026, ASICS and adidas do not list a cheer-specific shoe in the US. For athletes who wore the ASICS Cheer line, the best Nfinity cheer shoe by position is the place to start.

How to Choose Between Cheer Shoe Brands

Start with position. Flyers do best in the lightest shoes, bases want grip and a stable platform, and athletes who want ankle support should look at a mid-top. Then check weight, which not every brand lists, and fit: cheer shoes do not size like street shoes, so use each brand's size chart. For Nfinity, see the size chart.
