For crossfit, anything that doesn't have too much of an air sole is ideal - just like with all olympic weight lifting. If you imagine doing deadlifts whilst wearing trainers with heavy padding in the heel, your first movement is your heels going into the shoe which can cause instability and can place risk of injury.
As mentioned, reebok have made their own model that is designed to allow for both lifting and running, as a typical weight lifting shoe is not suitable for running in.
A lot of crossfitters just wear converse.
