New Balance CK4040 v7 Spike Cricket Shoes
The New Balance CK4040 v7 Spike Cricket Shoes are cricket shoes built specifically for fast bowlers who need cushioning, support and stability through the delivery stride. FuelCell cushioning, a metal spike outsole and a secure upper work together to provide the traction and reinforcement needed when running in, planting the front foot and completing the bowling action.
FuelCell foam provides responsive cushioning with a propulsive feel underfoot. For fast bowlers, that cushioning is particularly relevant through the repeated impact of the run up and delivery stride.
The CK4040 v7 also adds reinforcement where bowlers need it. A toe drag tip improves durability in a high wear area, while webbing around the eye row adds stability and a gore strap helps lock the foot down inside the shoe.
The moulded mesh upper uses a film overlay to balance ventilation with additional durability. Underneath, the metal spike outsole provides the traction needed to maintain secure footing on the cricket field.

The CK4040 v7 is best suited to fast bowlers who need more cushioning, reinforcement, support and stability from their cricket shoes. Its construction is designed around the demands placed on a bowler's feet during the run up and delivery stride.
