I think The Kobes are kinda ahead of its time, somehow like the Foams yet somehow different. While the Foamposite 1 was too beautifully unique in terms of tech and aesthetics for the 90s that more people only started to find it gorgeous after a decade or so later (not me though - fell in love with it when I first saw it in 97), The Kobes were too weird even for the early 2000s. Now that weird has become what’s cool and stuff like Astroboy boots get sold out, it’s the perfect time for Adidas to remake or make new ones inspired by The Kobes.
I still have my Adidas Playoff Kobe 1’s and 2’s from the 2000’s. Those things hurt like hell to play in. But they were Kobe’s so I had to rock them 💯🙏🏽 RIP Mamba
I copped. Wanted to get for the low but didn't know if they would sell out. I love the look. Could be fear of God's if they wanted ro go that route. But they are fresh. Great review, bruv.
The silhouette is gorgeous and as touched on earlier in the vid its timeless - even though its from the 00s it fits today. The silhouette is so much nicer than the glove and has so much more versatility. Excited for more colorways.
I couldn’t wait for these to drop. I recently just got a pair of the yellow KB one. Reminiscing about my young days when they originally came out so I had to have these. Ordered them off of Adidas confirmed app receive them the very next day! I’ve only tried them on, but they’re super comfy and I ordered the same size as my KB ones 11 1/2.
I dug up an old SLAM presents: KICKS magazine where they interviewed the designer of the Kobe and the KobeTwo, and they specifically mentioned that performance was an afterthought for this line.. they were mostly emphasizing the audi aesthetic and sleek futuristic look. They were well aware they weren't flexing like they should but they were just focused on them looking as futuristic as possible. Makes sense bc even the OGs and especially the twos felt like trying to play on Timbs.
@@Bookiej19 I went a half size up. It fits very similar to the Kobe Crazy 1. It would've been too tight for me even if the padding breaks in over time like most people say.
Hello Chris and madam. I had the Adidas Kobe 2 which I regret not owning anymore. They were already at the time very particular and imposing with in addition this part of the top which covered the laces. But these Adidas Crazy infinity 2.5 are bigger. They squeeze the feet "because" of the padding inside but will adjust while wearing them I think and maybe a bit short as the space between my big toe and the end of the shoe is not very big . But half a size up would be a mistake. So to see over time. But for those who want to step out of the ordinary and don't care what other people think, these adidas are for you. T.U. 4 Ur vids.
These look verry good. I think they were too futuristic for the 2000, but now with all of the foam shoes and dad shoes making them trendy. These adidas shoes are cool
I remember watching players slide all over the place in all versions of the crazy lineup. I never knew they weren’t supposed to be performance shoes. Now it all makes a little more sense. I kind of liked them brand new but a little wear and they look like junkyard shoes.
Love these joints. The Apollo 13's bro. The Neil Armstrongs. The my little toasters. The trons. The Megatrons. The kicks to the face. Hella dope yadadamean.
Mine should be in today Cant wait...gives me an adidas foamposite feel!!! I know they based off a modern take on the Kobe but it feels like a Jerry Lorenzo ish type inspo
@5:42 After I bought my way out of my contract, I would have fought everybody on the design team for the Kobe Three. Because, O M G... Everyone would have to get in line and square up.
I think they are really cool. I like the design. The price and the color makes me a little hesitant. I don’t want another white pair of shoes. But if the price ever becomes dirt cheap I’ll get them.
Back in the day I called these types of models the storm troopers (obviously I. Black & white)😅. Love this model though looks tastefully futuristic 👍🏿👍🏿
Do they fit the same as the crazy 1’s cause i’m waiting on the triple black release i sold my storm trooper pair i just couldn’t bring myself to wear them due to memories
Remind me more of the Flightposites than the glove. Hope they drop an "eggplant" (purple) colorway. Sigh...back when eggplant was associated with a color and not man parts.

This was a perfect comment!
Of the kobes looked like that, he may have stayed with adidas
I had the black Kobe and now the silver crazy 1 . Love them

Haven’t seen anyone say this but they look like Adidas’ version of the Reebok Answer 4. Which is why I like them a lot

I really liked this shoe ever since the images came out. I was anticipating this review. Thankfully I already got my pair and I’m glad I sized up.
So did u got up a half or a full size I wear between 10 1/2 and 11 mostly 11

def cop for me, thanks for the review. i've been nuts ever since i saw the shoe in a short on youtube
Been waiting for you to do this!
I was able to score these from Packer and i love em. Gives me futuristic shoes vibes like the Air Fear of God 1.

That crease is Gona be insane!
So stoked I've been waiting on these and they came out on my bday and I got 15% off on them WOO!!
Always wanted these as a kid

I found these surprisingly comfortable! I am very proud I got ‘em!

I kind of liked them brand new but a little wear and they look like junkyard shoes.
This is the only lifestyle version. All of the Kobe signature shoes were basketball shoes.
what are you yapping about
The zoom kobe icon was THAT sneaker. Got the silver ones. One of my all time faves.
Yes. Just got mine. Been waiting on your video
Definitely fire I will be looking for these in my travels.
Love these joints. The Apollo 13's bro. The Neil Armstrongs. The my little toasters. The trons. The Megatrons. The kicks to the face. Hella dope yadadamean.
These are CLEAN 🔥🔥🔥
I remember on the playground back in the day, quite a few people rocked those old Kobe’s and they all were dirty af lol. Don’t remember a clean pair.
2:08 will you guys be doing a video on the free agency answer 4s??
Just seen triple black. Will be waiting for those
FINALLY!!! I lovee the way these look
I guarantee it😂
Same
I am mostly definitely playing in these 😍
I’ve been waiting on someone to do a review and talk about the sizing. I figured they fit kind of snug thanks for the review.
Mine should be in today Cant wait...gives me an adidas foamposite feel!!! I know they based off a modern take on the Kobe but it feels like a Jerry Lorenzo ish type inspo
Infinity symbol basically the #8
I actually like how these look .. I have the gloves and have been waiting for a re release but these can hold me down till those drop again
I want the yellow pair they look dope
Seen ‘em somewhere already below retail need to cop
These are absolute fire from a foam head perspective
These go crazy
Weird but perfectly unique line. I like how the harden 7 plays off of this line a bit.
Fr harden is Kobe’s shoe mixed with the TMac 2 3
IIRC a part of the deal in his buyout was he couldnt sign with any other brand for a season hence the epic sneaker free agency year he had.
The adidas foamposite lol I love it
My heel slips on these in my regular size ,glad that I didn’t buy a size up.But they do get hot after wearing for some time
How hard is it to update it with Boost and Primeknit?
I absolutely love these !
@5:42 After I bought my way out of my contract, I would have fought everybody on the design team for the Kobe Three. Because, O M G... Everyone would have to get in line and square up.
I love how u started the video, thank you.
They’re comfy and I went half size up. Great fit, great shoe👌🏾
What’s your normal size?
I think they are really cool. I like the design. The price and the color makes me a little hesitant. I don’t want another white pair of shoes. But if the price ever becomes dirt cheap I’ll get them.
Not sure if I'd cop these, but I don't hate em. They're not bad. I definitely would want to try em on and see what they feel like.
i had the kobe icon in silver cause i couldnt get the black ones, those went hard. cant believe i lost those.
Back in the day I called these types of models the storm troopers (obviously I. Black & white)😅. Love this model though looks tastefully futuristic 👍🏿👍🏿
Ahhh the infamous toasters ! Lol God bless and peace y'all !
I don’t know why but.. these shoes are fire!!! 🔥
Where do you get all these x-men t-shirts. I know you've said before, but can't track it down.
Hey what’s the song name playing in the background?
Curious on how these would play.
Awesome review as always! 🔥🔥🔥
The originals played heavy. With a soft midsole.
Imma play on these
Fun update to a classic
How do I clean the white because I gotta a scratch
I wear 9.5 us in Nike AF1, What do you recomend me on these? thank you
I like. I'd go for some dark gray/black model.
Looks like the Kobe 2s I had in 5th grade 😳 might have to grab em
Need info on that Betsy tee
I saw these and thought immediately that this was Adidas version of the Nike Kobe icon super underrated sneaker.
These remind me of the Vin Bakers team Jordan's ✔️
This reminds me a lot of the Flightposite II.
Does somebody know when is gonna be the realese of this in Mexico?? I really F need them 🥺
I can sell you a pair
I thought they'd be slimmer tbh. I got mine like in a day or so. I flip the back mesh over to hold the zipper flaps open.
These are 🔥
Did jerry Lorenzo have anything to do with these?
Look like OG Kobe... I love it. ❤
My foot is similar,.my left foot is a little bit longer than my right😀 I kinda like them, if it was a performance model I see Jalen Green rockin it
IIInfinity and beyond!
Do they fit the same as the crazy 1’s cause i’m waiting on the triple black release i sold my storm trooper pair i just couldn’t bring myself to wear them due to memories
Love these shoes wonder if there be a Lakers color way dropping?
And here we are today with the yellow pair lol good comment
These are comin home
Bruh Kobe up there like HOLD UP! WAIT A MINUTE!
So glad it was an easy cop 😌
so many shoes people hoop in that aren't hoop shoes it's insane.
Love this shoes!
Managed to get mines for under retail may def wouldn’t wear with shorts since super bulky but longer pants make this hit
These might be sneaker of the yr
When these go on sale I’ll grab em. Definitely not paying retail
Sold out for higher sizes
5:43 the last Kobe adidas
When you feelin them crocs but you need a bit a sporty swag look.
I think these look great, but disappointed it’s not really built to be played in. Still a great homage to the original Kobe shoe
the all black pair might be the move, but please just retro the Kobe 2s @adidas
what was the last crazy shoe that released, was it the Crazy bounce?
I’m definitely gonna ball in them hahaha
You sold me I'm getting a pair tomorrow
Make a field purple one
Not the prettiest shoe but I bought a pair and love em lol you’re definitely going to turn heads with them on
I like them! But I need different color ways
I am uploading my review as we speak. They are fire imo.
These for off-court, Harden 7/8 for performance. That being said, I'm copping the Psylocke shirt.
I clicked the thumbnail thinking those look like old Kobe’s. Glad I wasn’t making that up. Lol.
These are fire
Not my favorite shoe in my collection, but I'm glad I got it, it goes hard. I like it better than the Crazy 1.
Yooooo I like em yessss🔥🔥🔥
Remind me more of the Flightposites than the glove. Hope they drop an "eggplant" (purple) colorway.
