First Looks at the adidas Crazy BYW III 👀

Third time’s a charm.

adidas is not shy about reworking the icon that is the Crazy. The originals debuted back in 97/98 as Kobe Bryant’s signature sneakers, but as is the trend for adidas over the past few years, it has been revised, reworked, tweaked and completely retooled. As a result, we’ve seen a handful of Crazy options — the BYW, BYW II, and the X — and now adidas have their third rendition of the BOOST-laden sneaker primed and ready to rock. Introducing the adidas Crazy BYW III.

Big bulky BOOST continues to be at the forefront of the design, with the bulbous, protruding cushioning tech creating an alien-like appearance. Add to that laced piping, asymmetrical laces, and wavy overlays, and you’ve got yourself one hell of a Kang and Kodos-looking sneaker. But although the pair boasts a futuristic aesthetic, the materials remain classic — sans the BOOST tech, of course — with mesh, suede, and leather making up the majority of the sneaker. Grab a detailed look at both new colorways below, and keep it locked on HOUSE OF HEAT for word on their adidas.com debut.
