My hopes for the KB8 3 to be crazy retroed again (hopefully in a wider release) just raised. The tooling is there, fingers crossed, that would be what I look for in 2025. Merry Christmas guys!!!
The Adidas equipment responsive aka KB 8 III, is a beautiful silhouette, it's awesome to see the tooling on something besides a Yeezy, but i would love if Adidas would release them again. Even though the were Kobe's shoe, maybe they can be released with the original name or as "crazy 99" or something to that effect.
I love the “feet you wear” sneakers adidas had in the late 90s(especially their equipment line), some of the best adidas designs imo. I also have a 2013 sample of the adidas intimidation in size 9 that I’ve recently posted on eBay, which uses elevated materials in comparison to GRs.
No worries guys, the president that got us out of all unnecessary wars is coming back if you recall. The one that has us on the brink of WW3 is leaving. Just a little reminder. 😉
In terms of shoes, I'm expecting the retro of adidas KB8 III and with the jam-packed timeline of Jordan releases, I'm expecting to hear the news about the return of Jordan 2 White/Red for at least, the year 2026. All in all, I expect to have a simple and a much greater year for 2025 for me and for all of my loved ones.
I wish more people did a little bit of research. So many think kanye is some sort of genius designer but don’t acknowledge that Adidas already had these models in the vault to borrow from.
Thx for the great video. The original KB8 III is one hell of a shoe and i still miss it. For the next year, what do I expect the most is that I finally get to make a teaser trailer for my own feature script and hopefully I get to make a killer one so I can get enough fund for making it into a feature film.
Hi Chris, I remembered seeing the mid one in OG color way selling at adidas website and some of the internet reseller in my region one or two years ago. I didn’t get one and don’t know why they didn’t put it world wide selling at that time. Hope they’ll release again.
I could be wrong with this lol Didn't John Starks wore the mid. He had a sneaker that I could never find or remember. I like the design of it . Merry Christmas to you and family
Hey does anybody remember the 2 dudes that used to do sneaker reviews, tall light skin and short dark skin? It was way back when probably 10 years… I like going back and watching them for the nostalgia but I can’t find there videos or channel now.
It's not the end of the world yet!!! When you start hearing more about Apophis heading towards us and it becoming an event, then i would say yes It's very near....
What Kanye did is just "stole" all Kobe designs and I hate that these are always referred to as yeezy shoes... Man those kb3 never had a retro cuz of yeezy shitty designs and them having dibs on feet you wear tech...
QOTD: Hell if I know. The mid looks better, in my opinion, because I'm generally not a fan of changing the height of shoes for a retro. Feet You Wear are generally super comfortable but I wish they would update the cushioning rather than the cut. Thanks for the review. My thumb is up. Catch you next time!
the mission impossible dead reckoning pt2 because it got delayed due to actor/writer strikes that happened in 2023 it was supposed to come out this june 2024 summer but no.
Kanye' biggest mistake was not purchasing Reebok when it was up for 700M on the market duruing his partnerships. All the major brand's lack vision and or creativity, no risk of anything to do something new...all consumers get is gimmicky ish.
So wait, are you telling me Kanye didn't invent all his designs at adidas??????? Oh no, how can I find a way to discredit adidas now (even though they have a giant archive and have been around for a century)???? I NEED to find a way to put YE on a pedestal. After all, he told me say f**k adidas like a cult member.
original adidas intimidation mid need a comeback
Yeah, originals weee better and had a different outsole as well(better looking imo) this current sole came from Kobe basketball shoes.
@@goldrush.35 those already are, they also sell them on Packer
looking forward to another year of WearTesters banger reviews
Happy Holidays to the WT Team! Thank you for the great content over the years. It's always been appreciated.
Happy holidays!
My hopes for the KB8 3 to be crazy retroed again (hopefully in a wider release) just raised. The tooling is there, fingers crossed, that would be what I look for in 2025. Merry Christmas guys!!!
Merry Christmas and happy holidays, Chris and Jody!!

I want a KB8 III brought back as a restomod so bad. Probably second favorite Kobe model
I look forward to your ongoing content. Your growth as a content creative team. Keep up the great work!
Merry Christmas!! Thanks for your content !!!

i wholely agree with Chris about zero expectations but still hope for the best.

the upper reminds me of the 700 v3
Adidas needs to retro the Mercury 2000. That was one of my favorite (non-basketball) shoes of all time
Those were super nice 👍 (the late 90s model as well as the 2000)
Was just about to say this. I had a pair and they were so comfortable.
Awesome review as always 👌🏽
Same thought for the coming year.

Never knew they existed i just thought they were prototypes
I wish more people did a little bit of research. So many think kanye is some sort of genius designer but don’t acknowledge that Adidas already had these models in the vault to borrow from.
Bingo
Plus if not for Steven Smith, a legendary shoe designer in his own right, Kanye would not have came out with as many classic silhouettes.
Cut it out they ain't have the flights
And he is that's why he was a billionaire and what are you?
Facts!
The Adidas mercury were one of my favorite runners growing up
Those were dope (the late 90s model as well as the 2000)👍
Love these throwback shoes and the little history tidbits!
Thx for the great video. The original KB8 III is one hell of a shoe and i still miss it.

These look pretty cool. I agree that the yellow version looks better.
Looking forward to the "reimagined" 5s in 2025.
Happy holidays. Now I gotta grab that hoodie. It’s 🔥!
Question of the day: Do you think ADIDAS will RETRO the KB8 III? That will be awesome! i had those back in 1999
Hi Chris, I remembered seeing the mid one in OG color way selling at adidas website and some of the internet reseller in my region one or two years ago.
I didn’t get one and don’t know why they didn’t put it world wide selling at that time.
Hope they’ll release again.
Merry Christmas 🎉
I do miss when adidas put ortholite insoles in their shoes.
These have Ortholite insoles in them
I'm surprised you had these to review lol. I think they're dope and the colorway is clean
I agree that mid should come back with that yellow!
QotD answer: Both Cobra Kai S6 Part 3, and Stranger Things finale!
Merry Christmas. I hope it's a relaxing one.
Merry Christmas
You should do the Puma Inverse, they are 1 of the coolest looking shoes that's came out recently.
Completing the first year of my bachelor! 😮
And watching Weartesters. 😊
hope they retro the eqt mercury 1 or 2
Merry Christmas to Everyone.....Peace and Blessings for us all!
Nice kicks on fuego😊❤
This reminds me of the old kobe days where the outsole is shaped as a footprint
I could be wrong with this lol Didn't John Starks wore the mid. He had a sneaker that I could never find or remember. I like the design of it . Merry Christmas to you and family
I love the model . the yellow navy blue.
Kb played in them rip mamba
I'm surprised you didn't go for the Nightwing colorway 🦇
These were available here in the Philippines as a low top in the early 2000s. Was intrigued by the design. Thought it was a cross trainer.
I feel this silhouette but the colors need work.
Can't believe people thought Ye invented Feet you Wear.
Hey does anybody remember the 2 dudes that used to do sneaker reviews, tall light skin and short dark skin? It was way back when probably 10 years… I like going back and watching them for the nostalgia but I can’t find there videos or channel now.
Damn them shits are FIRE looking 💯💯 watching this review now lol…if you say they comfy it’s an insta cop
I might get a pair
Chris just got all the doomsday preppers on high alert.
And actually, Adidas used this outsole in the past in handball shoes.
(2:54) I'm getting Nike Sunder/SNDR vibes
for the algo, next year looking forward to maybe taking a real vacation, also a pair of Kobe's hopefully
It's not the end of the world yet!!!
When you start hearing more about Apophis heading towards us and it becoming an event, then i would say yes It's very near....
In 2025 I am looking forward to traveling
What Kanye did is just "stole" all Kobe designs and I hate that these are always referred to as yeezy shoes... Man those kb3 never had a retro cuz of yeezy shitty designs and them having dibs on feet you wear tech...
Omg I FORGOT ABOUT THE SNEAKER SNIFF!
QOTD: Hell if I know.
The mid looks better, in my opinion, because I'm generally not a fan of changing the height of shoes for a retro. Feet You Wear are generally super comfortable but I wish they would update the cushioning rather than the cut.
Thanks for the review. My thumb is up. Catch you next time!
review the Adidas ZX 5K Boost
Damn i remember having the all silver pair
Better for Adidas to bring back the Violation shoes
Look like the crazy 8 sole
They look noice.
the mission impossible dead reckoning pt2 because it got delayed due to actor/writer strikes that happened in 2023 it was supposed to come out this june 2024 summer but no.
Git the stone grey ones
Didn’t Packer release two color ways earlier this year?
@@renojames4498 they already released two colorways of the mids.
I remember packer dropped two mid color ways of the intimidation last year. Gray pair and a maroon and gray pair. Any one else cop?
I’ve actually been trying to find this show for a decent price , don’t think they’ve released In the US 😢
So Adidas made the KB 3 ?
More Kobes!!🐍🐍
Next year? Still looking forward to your 1m subs
same as years before, every new chapter of One Piece

Every time adidas releases a new shoe they in the comments yapping about this. They're in a cult.
@@wade_county no really it kinda disturbing sometimes
🔥🔥🔥
4 Da Nightwing Algo
Oh look... A shoe that's not a Jordan!
That’s a fair 2025 wish
Crazy how adidas using all the Kobe adidas inspiration for all the new releases
This is a retro tho isn't it
This is a retro of an existing shoe
Kanye' biggest mistake was not purchasing Reebok when it was up for 700M on the market duruing his partnerships. All the major brand's lack vision and or creativity, no risk of anything to do something new...all consumers get is gimmicky ish.
Kanye's biggest mistake was not being an idiot and collect them checks.
are you sure it wasnt the antisemitism
I just want the world to be happy in 2025😢. The black version of those sneaks are 🔥 btw.
God bless you and your family and friends merry Christmas and happy new year 2025
Hoping they simmer down on mediocre shoes being “drops”, and for goodness sakes, stop all the women’s only sizes in men’s shoes
It reminds me a nike tn
The mid is 10 000 times better !
Hope for the best? You mean like from 2016-2020? You’re in luck then because he’s coming back bro.
JB is definitely desperate 😂
As far as I know they were always a mid. Bad decision to make a low. Literally cutting corners on this one
Bro wear some higher socks after all you are a sneaker and fashion reviewer fix the Sox bro 😂😂😭😭
Bro those are the feet you wear Adidas!
Not that bad
I pray that sneakers will be interesting enough to drown out all the BS that will be coming out of the U.S. Government.
A.B.C.
Looking forward to Superman 🦸♂️ 😊
For the Algorithm
So wait, are you telling me Kanye didn't invent all his designs at adidas???????

Looking forward to Trump making America great again!

I am watching this whilst having a poo 👍
First
These don’t look good at all, IMO 😬 As for what I’m looking forward to this coming year, I’m hoping to be able to work abroad, maybe in New Zealand…
Meh
Them releasing these jus solidifies Kanye's genius. It's crazy how a few detailed changes can completely change a sneaker. These are 🗑️. Lol
Fake Yeezy not good
