Adidas is set to bring back a piece of sneaker history with the re-release of the adidas Crazy 2 in 2025. Originally known as the Kobe 2, this sneaker marks Kobe Bryant’s final signature shoe with adidas before he transitioned to Nike. The retro release of this iconic model pays homage to both Kobe’s legacy and Adidas’ bold design era.

The adidas Crazy 2, formerly the Kobe 2, first hit the market in late 2001. The design, inspired by the Audi TT, featured a futuristic and polarizing look that sparked mixed reactions. While some praised its innovative approach, others found it too radical. Kobe himself reportedly disliked the shoe, which contributed to his departure from adidas.

Despite the controversy, the Crazy 2 holds a significant place in sneaker history. Its unique design represents a period of risk-taking in adidas’ design philosophy and highlights Kobe Bryant’s early years as a rising star in the NBA. The re-release of this shoe offers a nostalgic look back at an era defined by bold aesthetic choices and the beginning of Kobe’s storied career.
