John Kim adidas and Kobe Bryant created one of the most iconic and eventually notorious sneakers in history with the debut of the adidas KOBE TWO “USA”, a special colorway of the second signature shoe covered in patriotic stars and stripes. Kobe first debuted the shoe for the season opener of the 2001-2002 season as a sign of remembrance of the victims and those who were affected by the 9/11 tragedy. Erlebniswelt-fliegenfischen News can confirm that adidas plans on bringing back the memorable shoe for the first time next June.
The adidas KOBE TWO is among the most bizarre basketball shoe designs in history. Completely unorthodox in its appearance, the KOBE TWO was the last signature shoe from the adidas x Kobe partnership to hit retail; Kobe paid $9 million out of his own pocket to cut ties with the brand, eventually landing at Nike and creating the best signature shoe line in history behind the Air Jordan.
adidas recently re-released the adidas original joggers mens style jeans to some positive fanfare. The original White/Yellow pair has sold out, while other OG colorways like the all-silver joints managed to wipe out of stock as well. Credit the shoebox packaging and the true-to-original build for its success. Even without the Kobe name, the Crazy 2 is still a strong pick-up for hoops fans who love the 1990s and early 2000s.
