In 20 seasons, Kobe Bryant played in 15 All Star Game with 4 MVPs, 5 NBA Championships, Season MVP, Finals MVP x 2 time olympic gold medalist.
Before his long line of Nike sneakers he originally signed with adidas and in this video I want to focus on The Kobe, renamed the Crazy 1.
Did you know that 1 designer worked on the Air Jordan 1, Wings logo branding as well as signing Kobe Bryant to adidas in 1996?
Peter Moore was that guy.
Design was inspired by the Audi TT Roadster released in 2000 by Eirick Lund Nielson
Kobe won his first championship in adidas The Kobe against the Pacers in 2000
The shoe incorporated Adidas’ brand-new Torsion System for medio-lateral forefoot stability during quick court movements and AdiPRENE+ for superb cushioning and support. A total of six original Kobe 1 colorways debuted during its initial run: sunshine yellow (2001 All-Star Game colorway), mesh, ice blue, black (debuted 11/3/00), white (debuted 12/15/00), and silver, at an original retail price point of $125.
After the Kobe 2 he parted ways with adidas and he was a sneaker free agent for 1 year before signing with Nike.

The original adidas The Kobe Storm Trooper colorway available now! bit.ly/3FqjCHr

[@AkerraNicholson]

Not adidas related but I wanted to Thank you. First you sold me on the Rebel V2s (Love!) then the Rebel V3s (also love!) but hearing the 1080 v11s keep coming up in convos, I had to get them. Now I understand why you love them so much! I love all 3. Thank you! ❤️ & Much Respect for Kobe 🙏

[@younggotti8195]

Glad you mentioned the licensing, I think it was Richie who criticized adidas for not honoring Kobe without realizing that they can’t

[@thestarseeker8196]

Once I saw it in the photo context I recognized it right away. Thanks Kobe and Peter. 🙏🏻 And these look 🔥for sure.

[@damienjeremyweir4543]

James! I saw the thumbnail and though "meh" as I clicked on it but this is a ----king awesome video! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 RIP Black Mamba

[@jamespaul3313]

I have the retro Sunshine and Playoff color way from a few years back

[@Adam-ug7gd]

Adidas will literally use anything and anyone to try and make a sale these days, even a shoe that Kobe hated!

[@skeletormasteroftheunivers8248]

I believe he hated the Kobe 2's if I remember correctly he wore these shoes for his first 3 championships so its a part of sneaker and kobe history

[@tdscasanova7428]

True. The kobe 2 the jordan 2 and the Ford mustang 2 were all failures. Kobe hated the 2s yet I wish he stayed with adidas and made a huge worldwide shoe store like Jordan did so he could have competed with jordan even off the court.

[@morradovr6]

I had the OG black back in 2000, it literally drove me to buy a 2001 Audi TT so I bought a silver Crazy 1 last month. Dope nostalgic shoe.

[@octaviocastellanosjr349]

This are great 🔥🔥🔥 I still have an original pair from 2001

[@sickkicksalwaysglobal1433]

You the man hes i saw u posted the adiclub deal i just copped the Creamy white colorway of these for $40 and used a $15 gift card so i copped for $25 cant believe it

[@eastsidahboy]

Ill buy it if adidas couldve make it a boost soles and this will be fire

[@amai_zing]

I remember when these first came out, and I wanted to get a pair, but I couldn’t afford it. Still love these for what they represent and makes me miss Kobe, but I don’t know that I could rock these nowadays… I’ll probably still pickup a pair for the nostalgia and just because I know can actually afford when I couldn’t before

[@BlackNAVYAmericanVET]

I love the Futuristic design….. I remember when it first came out ….. I didn’t have enough money to buy it….but now I do !❤❤❤❤

[@christopherramirez3896]

Man forget the ADI prine+ imagine if they would’ve had some boost inserts in there for this year’s release🔥. As is there’s not much compression for all day casual comfort. I guess just insole swap.

[@eastsidahboy]

Totally agreed with you need to put boost insert in it

[@Jamesmelton34]

I’m talking about it I have all the color ways that have dropped as well the snake skin as well I have the crazy 97 slam dunk purple and the adidas crazy 97 slam contest Cleveland silver pair as well

[@Jamesmelton34]

I can’t get enough of this shoe I might get a 2nd pair of the storm troopers

[@samleejessop]

You can respect the player but it’s not a brilliant silhouette. The upcoming adidas basketball stuff looks like it has the nicest version of this shoe

[@MrChinyboy]

he literally said he hated this shoes.

[@sneakerprofiler]

I’m glad someone with your level of influence is going direct with the history. (RIP) Kobe and adidas EQT factor major in the YEEZY QNTM design language as well. adidas Basketball should do an Audi collab. ✌🏽💙👟

[@andrewsuller9551]

I'm not sure how flying off shelves equates to "nobody's talking about"

[@heskicks]

Im glad people are buying them i just dont think majority know what they are

[@DR.DisInfect]

They are sitting 3 colorways I didn't know what they were but they were so comfy I might get a pair down the road

[@DR.DisInfect]

Never mind I just liked I guess the shoes I tried on were tmacs they look a lot like these

[@thaddeuses2279]

He said that particular color is gone

[@cedboxwell]

The Purple ones are sold out The Gold ones only have 4 left (size 7)

[@gunpla_sk8]

Found some at Ross for $45

[@proraptor4146]

I love Kobe but these shoes are ugly 🤦

[@UCeddWhat]

& the lakers away color way 🔥

[@CS-vx5ox]

I had these as well as the Tmac 5 and they both were bricks to play in.

[@johnmcduggle4032]

The UCLA Bruins wire the Yellow....... No then.... No now.....if it weren't for the Nostalgia..... Crazy 8 (KB8) only....

[@RonaldJohnson-y3k]

Just got umm

[@tdscasanova7428]

Just bought a pair of black purple and yellow laker colorways at champs. While they are 20 year old styles, they still look futuristic.

[@corylink3195]

After the Balenciaga child "scandal" I don't trust people that support Adidas. But You do You I guess.

[@codymansmom]

Sitting ??? Hell I can’t find them … you can but very pricey

[@wavecasualgamingparent]

I got the silver pair but disappointed with the box they came with.

[@rabarberellum1017]

From that point of view it would be great if the new kid in town, Wembanyama, signs with adidas in 2024 when his contract with nike ends

[@DunstonG100]

Fun fact, Peter Moore was told by Phil Knight to fire Tinker Hatfield!

[@eatmysalt291]

I have the vivid mint and solar orange from 2016. That colorway pops so much.

[@landon4216]

Had zero idea, thx Hes! Might grab a pair, they look really comfortable

[@chrisguardiano6143]

As it relates to the TT, Audi still makes it. As for the shoe one of my favorite pairs of basketball shoes ever in terms of the design, used to hoop in those & the Tmac 2 a lot as a kid.

[@boms2762]

Had the silver cw back when i was in college, year 2000.

[@DR.DisInfect]

I tried it on it felt so good on feet but didn't pull trigger

[@yancy9455]

If it ain't the kobe 9 elite then its a mid shoe.

[@ttime411bmw]

Got the sunshine colorway on my want list with Goat right now can’t wait to cop

[@discjunkiesDGT]

I had a pair of these way back!!!

[@aungmon4592]

You should check out adidas strung

[@Flyfam11]

3:54 😢 heart breaking again

[@henrysteptoe9247]

🔥🔥🔥

[@jestag2]

These Kobe 1 is more iconic than any of his other signature shoes because he actually worn this model in his very own threepeat with Shaq and Phil Jackson.

[@dylives7667]

You can't really expect everyone to make buzz about quite a niche sneaker. Specially when not everyone was there when Kobe blew up, which is when these kicks debuted.

[@heskicks]

I didnt cop back then i didnt like the look but i think they look better now than before imo, its hard to make a buzz about a shoe without being able to tell the history of the model

[@eatmysalt291]

That’s a bad argument. How many sneaker heads collect Jordan’s and never saw him play a single game? Let alone him become the super star he’s considered.

[@heskicks]

@@eatmysalt291 im saying adidas doesnt own the license to promote as a kobe sneaker so the story cant be told by the brand.

[@eatmysalt291]

@@heskicks I’m replying to the OP about how people didn’t get to see Kobe blow up. It’s just a bad argument imo.

[@nessdagoat]

That shoe was absolute trash when it came out and it looks even worse in 2022 about to be 2023 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@DrewHolmes]

agreed

[@BizzeB-nq1jb]

You ain’t lying!

[@devsmith3757]

No 1 is talking and no 1 cares cause addida is finished lol they back 2 being the not cool kid shoe 😅

[@Thelunarraptor]

I thought the shoe looked ok at first, but Kobe hated Adidas. The shoe might look decent with some styles new, but they age AWFUL. Usually I don't care about creases but they crease so badly, seriously look at a used pair, they go from looking like future moon shoes to something that looks like painted cardboard.

[@bigdamp1]

These shoes were HATED when they came out. NOBODY wore these in real life. They were a horrible design then and now. You were gonna get flamed wearing these big ass shoes. Nobody is talking about them for a reason. They were never a well received shoe.

[@flimgenco]

Did he step away from adidas, or was he dropped by adidas because of his…. Case?

[@Joana0791]

I noticed that you mostly feature Adidas shoes. Are you a spokesperson for Adidas? Just wondering.

[@thomasanderson2047]

Ye has been replaced by He[s]

[@DrewHolmes]

I deleted the Adidas app after they canned Kanye. Adidas i just like all the other Liberal far left brands. Go ahead and group them in with Balenciaga for that matter

[@JeremyDarko]

Dumb dumbs

[@DR.DisInfect]
