If you like a crisp, planted heel Boost that stays solid and springy for hard takeoffs, and can live with a thin, firm forefoot (Boost is heel-only) with dead space in a roomy toe box, then this shoe is for you.

Story & provenance
Primeknit Hits Basketball First
The adidas Crazylight Boost 2015 was one of the brand's earliest experiments with combining Primeknit and Boost foam in a basketball shoe. Heel Boost paired with forefoot adiPrene+ and EVA created a setup that emphasized cushioning at the back and responsiveness at the front, and James Harden and Andrew Wiggins both wore the model during the 2015-16 NBA season. Reviewers at Nice Kicks, BBallEquips, and Kickspotting praised the upper comfort and the heel Boost ride, but flagged the outsole rubber as soft and the traction pattern as not particularly durable. The Crazylight Boost 2015 still mattered as a transitional shoe in adidas Basketball's mid-decade renaissance, foreshadowing the full-length Boost setups that arrived a year later.
