New Balance CK4040 Cricket Shoes (2027)

The New Balance CK4040 cricket shoes are a bowler-focused spike for players who want a cushioned, secure and mobile fit through long spells and busy days in the field.

At the heart of the CK4040 is a FuelCell foam midsole, which gives a cushioned, propulsive feel with every stride into the crease. A high-density foam tongue holds the foot snugly without feeling bulky, so movement stays free and natural. Nylon webbing straps add a lockdown fit, helping to stop your foot slipping when the match gets intense.

A lower collar allows extra ankle mobility and keeps the overall package lighter than earlier models, while the fit has been improved to be wider and more comfortable. The mesh upper with synthetic overlays throughout keeps things breathable, and the synthetic construction gives a lightweight yet durable feel from the first over to the last.
