Matt Varga adidas is getting involved in the All-Star festivities this year in a major way, just unveiling another new retro colorway of the Crazy 8 for an official release in the coming months.
A silhouette first made famous by Kobe Bryant in his first All-Star appearance in 1998, the Three Stripes have held the model close to their chest since its original run. Just a few days ago, news broke that it would be re-releasing in its original black/white configuration. Now, this olive-dominant suede colorway of the model seems to hint that rather than just a one off retro, adidas has bigger plans in mind for this silhouette in particular.
For what it’s worth, the adidas side of things isn’t the end of Kobe-related headlines in the past few weeks. Amid speculation about a potential Kobe Nike SB collaboration on the horizon, Vanessa Bryant took to Instagram to showcase a Valentine’s Day PE of the Kobe 8. While it seems likely that particular pair will stay in the vault, the Mamba line is thriving in Beaverton, ensuring Kobe fans far and wide are sure to have plenty to choose from in 2024.
No official release date has been set as of right now, but when these do hit shelves, they’ll come with a retail price of $140. Meanwhile, the aforementioned Crazy 8 “All-Star” is set to drop just days before the February game.
