Allowing the influence of the Running Support ’93 to lead its creativity, the sneaker Kobe Bryant once called his own adorns the adidas Crazy “EQT” Pack. Worn by the Black Mamba fresh out of high school at the inception of his NBA career, the shoe remains a revered basketball silhouette while also maintaining a strong affinity as a lifestyle shoe. Fittingly, the “EQT” pack takes tones from another nostalgic shoe helping evoke both a sense of past and present. Yet, the adidas Crazy 2 and adidas Crazy 8Â equally play towards Charlotte Hornets coloring, drawing from the team that originally snagged Bryant on draft night back in 1996. Purple and teal accents don both styles with white surrounding the remainder. Although no release has been announced, stay tuned to Sneaker Release Dates for updates.
