Adipower Incurza Cricket Shoes by Adidas: Crystal Sky Edition for Pace Bowlers
Overview
The adidas Adipower Incurza cricket shoes are a pace bowling shoe. They are built for fast bowlers who need a locked down stride through the crease. The Crystal Sky colourway pairs an engineered mesh and PU upper with 10 Champ hardened steel spikes. Together they give bowlers a stable, supported release on every delivery.
Adidas designed the Adipower Incurza cricket shoes around the demands of the run up. Two thirds of the upper is engineered mesh, with the remaining third in PU coated synthetic leather. This split gives you breathable comfort on a long spell. The synthetic panels add durable support where the foot takes the most strain.
A hook and loop midfoot strap sits over an arch hugging support system. It locks your foot in place during the plant and delivery stride. Power transfers into the crease instead of into foot slide inside the shoe. The steel spike pattern adds confidence on firm, dry outfields where grip matters most.
Features
- Midfoot strap with arch hugging system keeps your foot locked down through the delivery stride, reducing slip inside the shoe.
- 10 Champ hardened steel spikes bite into firm ground. This gives pace bowlers reliable traction on the run up and at the crease.
- Two thirds mesh upper keeps the foot cool and breathable across long bowling spells in the heat.
- One third PU coated synthetic leather adds durable support exactly where a fast bowler's foot flexes most.
- Bevelled, cushioned heel absorbs impact as the front foot plants hard at the point of delivery.
- Waterfall heel lining sits lower at the back of the ankle, reducing pressure on the Achilles during repeated run ups.
- Lightweight TPU outsole keeps the shoe responsive without adding unwanted weight to your stride.
- Regular, true to size fit makes ordering straightforward without needing to size up or down.
Design and Materials
The upper construction is the standout feature of these adidas Adipower Incurza cricket shoes. Engineered mesh covers most of the shoe, flexing with the foot and letting air through on hot match days. The PU coated synthetic leather sits over high wear zones. This means the shoe holds its shape spell after spell rather than stretching out.
Underneath, the TPU outsole carries 10 Champ hardened steel spikes. Steel spikes give a firmer, more direct bite into the turf than rubber studs. That matters most for bowlers loading force through the front foot on delivery. The bevelled heel works with this setup, cushioning the strike without softening the lockdown the spikes provide.
Key Technologies
Arch Hugging Midfoot Strap: A hook and loop strap wraps the midfoot to stop your foot moving inside the shoe. This keeps your front foot plant consistent over after.
10 Champ Hardened Steel Spikes: Steel spikes set into the TPU outsole give a firmer grip on firm or dry outfields than rubber studs. They support hard braking forces at the crease.
Waterfall Heel Lining: The heel collar drops lower at the back, easing pressure on the Achilles tendon across a long bowling spell.
Mesh and PU Hybrid Upper: Two thirds engineered mesh with one third PU coated synthetic leather balances breathability with support where load is highest.

VKS Review
The Adipower Incurza is one of adidas' most focused pace bowling shoes. The Crystal Sky colourway brings that performance into a sharper finish. The midfoot strap stands out most in fitting, drawing down firmly over the arch. A regular fit shopper can expect the true to size guidance to hold without a half size adjustment.
The steel spike outsole rewards bowlers who play mainly on firm, well grassed outfields. Bowlers who train mostly on artificial or very soft surfaces may prefer a rubber stud option instead. Steel spikes are built for grip rather than all surface versatility. Our team at the Ealing store can talk you through spike options and fit before you buy. In store try ons are always welcome.
Q&A Section
Is the adidas Adipower Incurza good for fast bowlers?
Yes, it is built specifically for pace bowling. The midfoot strap and 10 steel spikes give the lockdown and traction fast bowlers need through the delivery stride. It is less suited to batting or fielding, where lighter, more flexible footwear works better.
Can I wear steel spikes on an artificial cricket pitch?
Most clubs and venues do not allow steel spikes on artificial surfaces, since they can damage the pitch. Check your venue's rules first. If you bowl mainly on artificial surfaces, ask our team about a rubber stud alternative instead.
Does the Adipower Incurza run true to size?
Yes, adidas lists this shoe as true to size with a regular fit. We recommend ordering your usual cricket shoe size. If you are between sizes, our Ealing store can help you check fit before you order online.
What is the best cricket shoe for pace bowlers who play on grass?
Steel spike shoes like the adidas Adipower Incurza cricket shoes are a strong choice on grass outfields. Steel digs into firm turf for a more direct bite than rubber studs. Rubber suits softer ground and artificial surfaces better.
Should I size up for thick cricket socks?
Most bowlers do not need to size up in this model, since adidas already builds it as true to size. If you wear thick socks, try the shoe on with them first. Our store team can guide you through fit in person.
Which adidas cricket shoe should I choose if I bat and bowl?
The Adipower Incurza is built around the lockdown a bowler needs at delivery, so it suits bowling all rounders well. Specialist batters often prefer a lighter shoe with more forefoot flex, worth comparing before you decide.
