The 2023 edition of the adidas Kobe Crazy 8 ‘Black White’ brings back Kobe Bryant’s debut signature shoe, released in 1997 and originally dubbed the adidas KB8. The upper, built with black nubuck and suede, features white leather detailing that forms the signature three stripes. adidas’ retro Feet You Wear logo appears at the base of the padded mesh tongue, while adidas’ three-stripes logo adorns the heel tab in yellow embroidery. The sneaker rides on a bulky EVA midsole, supported underfoot by adidas’ Torsion System and a herringbone-traction rubber outsole
