There’s no question that with his ultracompetitive spirit and the drive to match Michael Jordan’s six NBA Championships, Kobe Bryant would rather be battling (for a spot) in the NBA Finals than sitting at home waiting to see if the Thunder-Heat dream matchup comes true. Kobe’s first three rings were earned in adidas sneakers, and this latest Three Stripes release not only puts a warlike look onto arguably the most famous of those releases, but it also manages to squeeze a little Boston Celtics energy into the mix to make things even more combative. The latest adidas Crazy 8 is decked out in green-heavy four-color camo with black creating a strong contrast on the soles and side panel Stripes. This is the first new Crazy 8 release since last the ‘Denver Nuggets’ pair popped up around the turn of the year; which of these vanquished NBA Playoffs foes makes for a better Kobe Bryant adidas retro? Let us know when you’re checking out more photos on the other side and grab yours today from Eastbay.
