This is a top-tier performer for a very affordable price. This is going to be on the list of shoes with the best traction!

Very good traction and perhaps the best Boost cushioning in a basketball sneaker. Make sure to go down half a size because the fit didn't work for me in my true size.

Insane traction, responsive cushioning and a very affordable price. I actually prefer the Crazylight Boost over the more expensive Adidas Harden 2.

It's almost as if Adidas read my blog and fixed all the issues I had with the predecessor. Great shoe that almost any player will enjoy - especially at the affordable price!

Amazing cushioning, good traction and solid materials - this could have been a 9.0! But dead space in the toebox and excessive heel slippage killed the Crazy Light Boost 2018 for me.

The nice pliable rubber with deep grooves takes a little to break-in but then it provides great grip. Well done Adidas!

The traction performs very well on clean courts but you will need to wipe a lot on dusty courts.
