Kobe Bryant’s sneaker journey began with adidas in 2000, later transitioning to a legendary partnership with Nike. In 2025, to honor Kobe’s legacy, adidas is re-releasing the Crazy 2 “All-Star,” the second and final model from his initial line with the brand. This retro release celebrates Kobe’s impact on basketball and sneaker culture, showcasing a design inspired by his favorite car, the Audi TT. The sneaker features a chunky silhouette, sleek lines, and a unique lacing system that emphasizes a tough outer shell. The ‘All-Star’ colorway is inspired by the Lakers, incorporating their iconic white, yellow, and purple colors. While the exact release date has yet to be confirmed, it is expected to drop in Spring 2025, starting with the ‘All-Star’ colorway followed by a mix of new and classic styles. As sneaker enthusiasts eagerly await this release, they can reflect on the significance of Kobe’s legacy and the evolution of the adidas Crazy line, which has seen various iterations since Kobe’s departure.
