Second jumps, faster
Rebounds and blocks are won on the second and third jump. The carbon plate loads as you land and returns that energy on take-off, instead of letting it die in foam. Our athlete testing averaged two inches of added vertical.
CRBN × Basketball
Own the vertical game.
Basketball is jumps, landings and first steps, hundreds of them a game. Foam soaks that energy up. A carbon plate gives it back.
What CRBN does for your basketball game.
A sharper first step
When you plant to drive, a soft forefoot wastes the push. The full-length plate stiffens your toe-off, so more of what you generate goes into the floor, quicker cuts, cleaner crossover steps.
Land harder, hurt less
Carbon fibre insoles are associated with a 25–30% decrease in peak impact forces on jumps, landings and quick direction changes, exactly the movements that grind knees and ankles over a season.

Great my son loves it
Son loves it for basketball

Worth it
I play D2 hoops and I'll be honest I thought these were a gimmick. First run with them and I knew they weren't. More pop when I drive, softer landings, and my knees don't ache the next morning.

Helped my son's injuries
My 16 year old son plays club basketball and was constantly coming home with sore knees. We even went to the physio who recommended expensive orthotics. I decided to try CRBN instead and it has been the best purchase. His pain has gone away and he says he feels more explosive on the court. I've noticed he recovers faster after tournaments too.

Perfect for hoopers
If you're serious about basketball these are a no brainer. You literally feel like you're playing at a higher level.

Gamechanger
Been hooping for years and nothing like this before. My jumps are higher, landings softer, everything smoother.
basketball
My secret weapon
I don't tell my teammates about these because I don't want them knowing why I keep grabbing all the rebounds.
basketball
finally dunked
Years trying, weeks training, then got these. Finally threw it down in a game.
basketball
Feel very safe
I was coming back to basketball after an injury. The CRBN insoles along with ankle straps make me feel so safe, it just feels it absorbs so much of the shock and the springiness and vertical is also a benefit. I really think they saved me from an injury today after landing wrong after a block attempt.
basketball
Daughter loves them
Bought for my 15yo who plays rep basketball. She actually texted me after her first practice saying "these are fire." She's never said that about gear before.
basketball
A real performance boost
I train for both basketball and track, and these insoles carry over for both. I feel explosive at the rim and powerful on sprints. My teammates ask what changed. CRBN changed.
basketball
Dunked!!
Was trying for months, got these, and threw down my first dunk. I'm shook.
basketball
Good but pricey
My son loves these in his basketball shoes, but honestly they're a bit expensive for insoles. That said, he says he plays longer without sore feet so we kept them.
basketball
Energy boost
feels like ur getting energy back every step. hooping feels easier with these in.
basketball
Great for young athletes
My 14 year old son just had a growth spurt and was struggling with heel pain. We put these in his basketball shoes and the difference was immediate. He says they feel springy and I can see he is moving more freely on the court.
basketball
Crazy difference
put these in my lebrons and no joke i feel lighter. i can actually jump higher and i'm not even gassing it.
basketball
how
Used to dread hard court sessions. Way more manageable now
basketball
basketball
good support. especially laterally
basketball
Great for Basketball and Track
Saw the V2s on TikTok, and I could feel springer as soon as I put them in. It took about a week for me to fully get used to them but afterward I really saw the vertical and getting started off the mark start improving. Doesn't happen instantly though sometimes, I wore it at trainings and games and really started seeing improvement. Defo reccomend, shipped really quick too
basketball
Smooth landings
after every dunk my knees used to feel it. now i land softer. makes me wanna jump more
basketball
Dunked for the first time
I'm 6ft 1 and never dunked. put these in my kyries and caught my first one. cant even lie i'm hyped.
basketball
Won't hoop without them
I left them out of my shoes one practice and instantly noticed the difference. Never again. These stay in my sneakers always.
basketball
holy
im ngl i wasn't sure about these but they actually go crazy. i got these about two weeks ago, i could barely touch rim before but after like a week i was consistently hitting it and I feel like im well on the way to my first proper dunk. feel really good on the court too, can move around really well and definitely feel springier. recommend 100%
basketball
Great for Basketball
It definitely works. Vertical went up by at least two inches. very comfortable too
basketball
Finally got hops
Been hooping for years but I swear these insoles gave me bounce I didn't have before. Not cap.
basketball

basketball

Unreal bounce
Honestly it feels like cheating. I can grab the rim now and I've never been able to before. Every jump feels powered. I recommend these to anyone trying to level up.
basketball
Basketball game changer
These insoles are incredible. I can feel the difference every single jump. Layups, rebounds, even just running down the court feels smoother. If you are serious about basketball, you need these.
basketball
Game winning edge
I had the game of my life last weekend. More rebounds, faster transitions, and I credit these insoles. They just make me more explosive in every movement.
basketball
Son loves them for basketball
My son was begging me for these and I finally caved and got these for his birthday... I wasn't sure but he says they're really good, and helped him with his jumping in basketball. He's also not complaining of his feet hurting anymore but not sure if that's related. The team were very helpful too when I had questions.

Never hoop without them
forgot them once and my legs felt dead. learned my lesson.

First dunk in game
I was always so close to dunking but just couldn't get there in game situations. With CRBN I finally pulled one off last week. I felt so much more explosive and confident driving to the rim. They gave me that last little edge I needed.
basketball
Good support
I play rec basketball and needed something for ankle stability. These really do hold my feet better and I feel safer when I'm cutting.

huge help
My brother and I both got a pair. We test our verticals all the time and we both went up an inch. It might not sound like a lot but on the court that's massive. Totally worth it.
basketball
More than just basketball
I bought them for hoops but now I use them when I run and even for lifting. The support they give my feet makes such a difference in stability and explosion. I actually PR'd my box jump last week.
basketball
Not for me
They felt too stiff in my runners. Probably better for basketball shoes. I went back to my old insoles.

Never hoop without them
I play college ball and these are my edge. I don't care if anyone thinks it's just an insole, the difference is obvious. More lift, less stress on my joints, better performance overall.

Best sports purchase I made this year, no question
Basketball questions.
All FAQsAre they legal in my comp?
Insoles aren't restricted equipment in Australian club, school or rep basketball that we're aware of, carbon plates are already common in the shoes themselves. Elite-level athletes with strict federation rules should check their gear list.
Should I debut them on game day?
No, give them 3–5 training sessions first. Carbon is stiffer than foam and your legs need a few sessions to sync with the spring. Most players are fully dialled-in within a week.
Do they fit basketball boots?
Yes, pull the factory insole out first and the CRBN V2 drops into standard basketball boots. Very narrow or custom fits can be tight; the 30-day guarantee covers you if they don't work in your shoe.
