Crazy 8 has better court feel and feels like a more mobile, guard oreinted shoe. Cushioning is ok, but will wear out quicker than Crazy 1. Traction is only about 7.5/10, herringbone but not much of it. Crazy 8 feel better comfort-wise initially, but after three or four wearings they stretch out, where the Crazy 1 is almost Posite like in it forms to your foot and fits better after three or four wearings. Crazy 1 starts off feeling narrow, but the padding inside is just conforming to yuor foot. Crazy 1 has better traction and feels almost Zoom-loke in the cushioning.
