In the world of retro basketball sneakers, adidas is revisiting its archive to bring back some of the most iconic models of the '90s, rekindling the nostalgia for the era when Kobe Bryant showcased his early career feats. As we move into 2024, adidas is set to continue this trend by reintroducing the Crazy 8 in a new Olive colorway, a model that once graced the courts under Bryant's feet. Alongside this pair, the Crazy 8 is returning in its 1998 All-Star colorway.
The adidas Crazy 8 Olive is constructed with a premium suede upper, dressed almost entirely in an olive hue that gives it a versatile and earthy appeal. This understated color scheme is contrasted by off-white accents that appear along the midfoot stripes, the nylon pull tab, and the tongue tag. The model stays true to its basketball origins with a sturdy and supportive structure while stylish enough for everyday wear. Underneath, the sneaker is equipped with an olive and off-white foam midsole that incorporates EVA cushioning technology, offering comfort and stability whether on the court or the streets. Completing the design is a durable rubber outsole in matching olive and off-white shades, ensuring traction and longevity.
The adidas Crazy 8 Olive will release in 2024 through adidas and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $140. Stay tuned to the Sole Retriever mobile app for more updates on this release and other exciting developments in the sneaker and streetwear scenes.
