Adidas Basketball is currently experiencing a resurgence reminiscent of the early 2000s when Kobe Bryant's signature shoes dominated the courts. With the on-court success of Anthony Edwards and James Harden's silhouettes, Adidas is seizing the moment to revisit and revitalize Bryant's iconic footwear lineup, blending nostalgia with contemporary street style through models like the Crazy One and Mad IIInfinity.
Despite Kobe's transition to Nike in the early 2000s, Adidas continues to honor his impact on basketball culture by re-releasing his classic designs under new monikers. The Crazy 1, launched initially as the Adidas Kobe, is coming back in the "Playoff" colorway, famously worn by Bryant during the 2000 NBA Playoffs.
Stayng true to its roots with a design inspired by the sleek lines of the Audi TT Roadster, updated with a mesh base to enhance breathability while maintaining its iconic look. This blend of heritage and modernity underscores Adidas's commitment to celebrating its rich history in basketball while pushing the boundaries of performance and style.
