The Adidas Crazy 8 "Philly" is Coming Soon

The Adidas Crazy 8 is returning in a new "Philly" colorway.

This latest iteration not only pays homage to Kobe's storied NBA legacy but also serves as a nod to his East Coast roots. It extends Adidas' celebration of Kobe's life, which recently included an "LA Dodgers" colorway, honoring his significant connection to Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant's relationship with his hometown of Philadelphia goes beyond the conventional athlete-city affiliation. Although he never donned the Philadelphia 76ers jersey in his professional career, his deep ties to the city are well-documented, making the Adidas Crazy 8 "Philly" colorway a fitting tribute to one of basketball's most iconic figures. The sneakers are adorned in red, white, and blue, the quintessential colors of Philadelphia, echoing the city's rich historical and cultural fabric.

The design features liberal red suede overlays that dominate the upper, setting a bold tone for the sneaker. Blue accents on the tongue, pull tabs, and outsole serve as secondary highlights, providing a visually appealing contrast. Completing the design is an abstract rubber midsole, which adds a unique touch to the color palette underfoot, further elevating the sneaker's aesthetic appeal.
