I remember getting the Adidas KB8 one (as it was known back then) in fall of 1997. It was the black/white colorway. This shoe is special because I wore those shoes when I dunked a pickle ball on a 10 foot rim. I was a Jr in HS and I was on the school JV. This happened after 14 months of vertical jumping training. It was my most fun memory as a player. I never made varsity so I didn't play Sr year. I never dunked a regular sized ball but a pickle ball is not too bad. Too bad I never recorded that feat on video. I ended hurting my knees so bad that even though I could've continued training to jump high enough to dunk. But I was too sad about not making it in basketball.
I remember back in 2011 I had a pair of Crazy 8's in the "grey, black, white" colorway So many compliments in those and mind you everyone was focused on Foamposites and Jordans....so my Crazy 8s really stood out 😊
I wanted these shoes for so long, but I always remember these being called Crazy 8. I remember bc my homie back in the 90s LOVVVVVEEEEEDDDD Kobe and he would bring these to the court to wear on court. I’m so glad these kinda got slept on bc I just bought this pair and the black pair for $91 each.
🔥🔥🔥 adidas Bball is finally releasing contemporary and retro heat. It’s good to see them tapping into The Culture. I wonder if the Feet You Wear logo harkens back to how the shoe was originally presented to R.I.P.-Kobe. Jacques Chassaing’s team did amazing stuff for R.I.P.-Peter Moore. They should continue using only premium materials for these retros. Strike while The Swoosh is trying to figure out its transition. ✌🏽💙👟
Oh man! I’ve always wanted them for ballin when I was young but when they came out in the 90s they were expensive as f.. So I went with the Fila Grant Hill 2.. Great review as always Mike!
3:51 the Feet You Wear logo is there maybe as respect of Kobe. Throwing out an assumption here...I am thinking Adidas didn't want the shoe to be too Kobe since he's not with Adidas anymore but also since he died Adidas didn't want to offend people that they are trying to make money off a dead man.
Couldn’t get during the drop today but not sure if they were released in size 16 anyway. No current Adidas’s are being released in 16. Just cleats if you go to their website.
8:23 Those Derrick Rose PE version = 🔥🔥🔥🔥

finaly! i love the crazy 8
Any suggestions how to combo with street clothes. Jeans or joggers? I wear them with blue joggers sometimes
Since the more “baggy” jeans are back, those are a great choice. I personally like to go with a looser fit cargo pant 👌🏾
Been waiting on these for months. Those black and white pair look a lil dingy for me
Beauties
looks fresh
