Ben Felderstein Before Kobe Byrant was teaming up with Nike on one of the most successful and longest running sneaker lines in the history of basketball, he was a member of team adidas and repped the Three Stripes as hard as anyone. One of the the Mamba’s most popular shoes with the German Sportswear brand was undoubtedly the boisterously-deigned adidas KB8 II. In Bryant’s third NBA season, this silhouette debuted with inspiration from the brand’s eye-catching Feet Your Wear series as well as adiPRENE cushioning support. Much like the rest of that FYW series, this Trefoil Brand standout is getting a modernized renovation by way of a new BOOST-equipped construction – devoid of any Bryant affiliation, of course.
In 2018, one of Nike’s most popular new basketball silhouettes has been the updated Kobe 1 Protro. Serving as an updated take on the Black Mamba’s first Swoosh sneaker – with the addition of modern tooling – it set the tone for the newest adidas hoops model you see here. Given a Crazy BYW 98 monicker, its upper is nearly identical to that of the aforementioned KB8 II, while its heel calls upon BOOST cushioning for superior comfort and durability. A simple black and white tumbled leather iteration is set to help debut the newest addition to the Crazy BYW family. Grab a detailed look at the Crazy BYW 98 below and keep it locked for release updates as we have them.
