Kobe Bryant’s Highly-Anticipated Second Signature Adidas Sneaker Makes a Triumphant Comeback
For the forthcoming spring and summer seasons of 2024, Adidas plans to revisit their collection of vintage footwear in an effort to pay tribute to Los Angeles Lakers great Kobe Bryant. The sneaker manufacturer will reissue a limited edition of Kobe Bryant’s second trademark sneaker, the Adidas Crazy 98, in April 2024.

Although Bryant’s time with Adidas was brief, it resulted in some of the most recognizable footwear in the company’s history and helped them advance into the basketball market. Adidas swiftly became a distinct force in the shoe industry with the launch of the KB8 (now dubbed the “Crazy 8”), spearheaded by a rising star like Kobe Bryant.
The Adidas KB8 II was the KB8’s successor and was first introduced in 1998. The sneakers’ style instantly made them popular among hoopers because of their late 1990s vibe. Many modern Adidas models, like shoes Anthony Edwards’ most recent Adidas AE 1, use the legendary herringbone outsole that was revolutionary when it was first introduced.
The original silhouette will make a comeback in April 2024 under the new name Adidas Crazy 98, following a brief re-release in 2014 under a new moniker. Taking inspiration from the well-known “Crazy 8” concept, the sneakers will first be available in a black/white colorway, staying true to the original design while using Adidas’ most recent technological advancements.
Kobe Bryant averaged 15.4 points per game, 3.1 rebounds per game, and 2.5 assists per game for the Los Angeles Lakers in 1998 while donning the Adidas KB 8 II. He cemented the legacy of Adidas sneakers even further when he was chosen for his first-ever All-Star game and won the 1997 Slam Dunk Contest while sporting them. This shoe is a must-have for any admirer of Kobe Bryant.
