- Dunlop_Volley abstract "Dunlop Volley is a brand of sandshoe that used to be very popular in Australia, similar to the Plimsoll shoe. It is produced by Dunlop Sport, part of Pacific Brands. As of January 2014, some models appear to have resumed standards of grip and wear that are comparable to the quality of previous decades.[citation needed]It is constructed of cotton canvas with a thermoplastic rubber sole. It was introduced by Dunlop Australia in 1939, and has had only minor changes to its design in over 71 years. Originally plain white in design, a green and gold stripe was added to the heel in the 1970s. Today, the standard design is white with a 3 stripe woven tape on the heel, while the green and gold stripe and an all-black version are also available.In 1939, the Volley OC was releasedIn the 1970s, Dunlop released a new style of Volley named the Volley International. The new model featured a new design upper and injection moulded rubber sole.From 1978 to 1985, there were large volume sales of Volley in Australia.During the early 1980s, Dunlop briefly released a 'basketball boot' version of the Volley International which covered the ankle. These shoes, which had the high-grip herringbone tread, were highly prized by rafters and bushwalkers who appreciated the dissipation of the friction point at the heel, the reduced entry of sand and debris, and the protection to the ankles against knocks from rocks when wading in rapids. The cotton canvas around the ankle was a seamless extension of the Volley's uppers; it did not seek to 'support' the ankle, only protect it. However, these were unavailable by 1983.In 1998, Dunlop Footwear moved production offshore.In 2004, Dunlop Sport became part of the Pacific Brands group.By 2012, changes to the Dunlop Volley had led to many bushwalkers and roofing contractors concluding that the new shoes are no longer adequate, and that Dunlop had failed to rectify the situation.In 2013, Dunlop started to revise the "Volley International" back to its 1970s version. The classic "early 1980s basketball boot" Volley also returned, as the "Volley High Leap". These and other variants became available for internet sale from Dunlop Volley's official sales website, www.volley.com.au.By 2014, many of the various models sold in a department stores were offered with a tag saying that they met the 1975 specification; one respected bushwalker found that some of these 1975-spec models have equivalent grip and wear to the models of previous decades[citation needed], although the soles of at least some models remain much thinner than 1980's models[citation needed]. In January 2014, some department stores were still stocking shoes with the much softer sole condemned as failing within 3 days in the references above.".
