Play With the Hottest Kicks Wearing adidas Crazy 8 Athletic Shoes for Men
adidas Crazy 8 athletic shoes for men come in a variety of colors, styles, and revamps to promote performance while maintaining a fashion sense. Originally known as KB8 shoes or adidas Kobe shoes, they were released in 1997 as Kobe Bryant's first signature shoe with adidas.
What styles do the adidas Kobe shoes offer?
adidas Kobe shoes are high-top athletics for men for both the court and the street. All of them have a mid-cut silhouette, typically in a white color, while the upper can be any color. However, the silhouette can also be black and white or black and another color. There is also one with a metallic gold upper, dark blue accents, and a dark blue and white silhouette.
Some style examples are:
- Snakeskin athtlete shoes featuring a Lakers colorway, yellow snakeskin accents in the upper, and black snakeskin accents in the midsole
- Performance adidas Crazy 8, either in black/white/vivid green or clear onix
- adidas men's Crazy 8 ADV Primeknit featuring an adidas Primeknit upper for more comfort and adaptive support
- Several Lakers colorways
What materials and features do KB8 shoes have?
The '90s basketball shoes all feature a mesh lining, rubber sole, lightweight cushioning EVA midsole, tongue and heel pulls, and nubuck leather on the heel. The midsole design features adidas Pure Motion torsion for foot form, function, and stability. It is especially for players who need to be as quick on their feet as possible as well as for providing strong ankle support. Many have a leather or synthetic upper. Finally, they have a non-marking outsole with superior traction on indoor basketball hardwood floors.
