Jared Ebanks As one of the most controversial builds in the late Kobe Bryant’s signature silhouette career with both adidas and Nike, the formerly referenced adidas Kobe 1 is both lauded and discouraged for its simplistic aesthetic and clog-like forefoot design. Now officially rebranded as the Crazy 1, the model has rendered its fourth offering this year after the “Sunshine Yellow”, “Metallic Silver” and “Stormtrooper” propositions previously received the retro treatment from spring to summer.
Akin to the Lakers vibrant purple away uniforms, the team-ready colorway employs a healthy sampling of LA’s violet hue across its leather uppers and debossed Three Stripes of the midfoot. Above, the tongue and laces proffer both the color-matched tone in a mesh construction while being accented by the “Core Black” ankle collar are treated in the presiding fabric. Additional pitch-dark accents build out the uppers lining, herringbone traction tread and rubber heel counter whereas the EVA-infused midsole outfits the model’s synonymous “Pewter” shade in addition to its mudguard and revamped Torsion system placed between the heel and forefoot in conclusion.
Currently available in the UK for $200 retail, enjoy official images of the Crazy 1 “Regal Purple” while we sit tight on the announcement of a stateside release expected within the coming weeks.
In other basketball-related news, the Jordan Luka 1 is enjoying its own version of the iconic “Bred” colorway.
