A jump in suspension, a catch, a new support: the indoor shoe adidas Crazyflight is designed for jumping and landing dozens of times per match, its cushioning absorbs shocks and its sole stabilises the foot.
Low or mid version, men, women or children: the page brings together the entire range, for handball players who rely on their jump and their catches.
Technology changes with generations: the Crazyflight 5 combines Lightstrike foam with a Boost insert in the heel, while the Crazyflight 7 features a Lightstrike Pro sole and a Torsion system designed for propulsion and lateral stability. Check the model sheet to know its exact sole. In all cases, the rubber is made for indoor surfaces.
The Crazyflight comes in two heights. The low version is the lightest and allows freedom at the ankle, ideal for agile wingers and playmakers who are often defending and receiving. The Mid version rises above the ankle: it gives confidence to those who have had a sprain before and to players who often land in contact, whether from impact or after a jump shot.
The Crazyflight was originally designed for volleyball-ball. Its strong point, jump height and landing, is also useful for handball, and its rubber performs well on indoor surfaces. However, frequent contact, feints, and changes of footing demand more lateral stability: a back or pivot would be better served by a handball shoe like the Stabil.
The page includes women's and men's versions, in low and Mid, as well as children's sizes for young players. The colours vary from one version to another, but the sole remains the same, allowing clubs to mix models without compromising on feel.
The Novaflight, which is simpler, is suited for beginners and casual play. For a speed game, the Adizero Counterblast offers lightweight performance. The entire brand can be found on the adidas shoes page.
Previous colourways of the Crazyflight can be found in the special shoe offers and the shoe clearance. During Black Friday shoes, and later during shoe sales, part of the range is also on promotion.
The Crazyflight is the more technical option, with a more advanced cushioning and stability sole depending on the generation. The Novaflight features an EVA sole combined with Lightstrike foam in the heel. The first targets regular players, while the second caters to casual play and discovery.
Adidas sizes are divided into thirds. Try the shoe at the end of the day with sports socks: there should be a little space in front of the big toe, and the heel should not move when you jump.
Yes, especially in the low version: the winger runs repeatedly, feints, and jumps to receive, and a lightweight shoe that leaves the ankle free helps them react quickly. Players who take a lot of contact often prefer the Mid version.
It's better to avoid it: the Crazyflight is an indoor shoe, designed for clean, hard surfaces, not for asphalt.
Save the shoe for indoor use and put it on only there, as asphalt wears the rubber and brings in dust. Clean the sole with a damp cloth before playing to maintain grip.
