Volley has launched its third Pride collection alongside the annual Mardi Gras and Midsumma festivals. 

This year's collection consists of three sneaker styles featuring the rainbow stripe, with $5 from every pair sold going to Wear It Purple in support of the adolescent LGBTQIA+ community. 

The collection is completed with Pride themed socks and a hat. 

Volley kicked off its Pride campaign in 2016 with 'Grassroots' and then celebrated the 'Yes' vote in 2017 with its first Pride sneaker range.

The range sold out in a matter of hours. 

Volley aims to raise $10,000 for Wear It Purple this year.

Wear it Purple president Ross Weatherbee commenting that Volley's support will help the organisation to create a more inclusive environment for LGBTQIA+ young people. 

"Wear It Purple are proud to be associated with the Volley ‘Pride’ shoe.

"The generous support from Volley will enable us to provide additional support to Australian schools and universities to help them create LGBTQIA+ inclusive schools, programs and spaces for rainbow young people – grab a pair and wear them with ‘Pride’, knowing you’re supporting an inclusive future," he said. 

Volley marketing manager Sam Despotidis said that the business is thrilled to support the LGBTQIA+ community. 

"Volley Pride is something our whole team is very proud of and holds close to our hearts.

"Young people play vital role in shaping both our present and future.

"Everything should be done to ensure they have an equal opportunity to unleash their brilliant minds to make impactful changes," he said. 

The Pride range is available to purchase now on the Volley website, with the collection retailing for between $14.99 and $89.00.
