Adidas Crazy 8 III Samples
The third time was never a “charm” for Kobe nor is the number 3 lucky for him. The new Nike Kobe 3’s are anything but attractive, Adidas and Kobe parted ways before the Adidas Kobe III had the chance to release, and his first signature series with Adidas stopped after just three models ending with the KB8 III. Oh yeah, that blonde chick from Colorado, he took it to the hole in the summer of ‘03.
Adidas has been bringing back the Kobe and KB8 kicks for the past couple of years minus the images of Kobe while also replacing “Kobe” or “KB” with “Crazy” to keep Bryant’s agent happy and to avoid another lawsuit with Nike.
This time around Adidas is playing it safe with two Lakerish color ups. Just like the originals, Adidas made use of the Adiprene + cushioning and Feet You Wear technology (something they need to bring back for good).
The Crazy 8 III (aka KB8 III) was an important shoe for Kobe’s career as they were the shoes on his feet for his first NBA Championship in 2000 as well as when he went toe to toe with Chris Childs at the Garden. Sample shots leaked thanks to x-kicks.

Mayne..they might not be the best looking kicks but then again when are kobe’s shoes ever really that good looking. But just like his others one’s these look bad to ball in. Be able to drive the lane with these baby’s.

I do think the Adidas Crazy 8 III is very lovely, may I ask that where can I find one pair?

Those were actually good to ball in. I had several pairs. I also owned a Kobe PE sample size 14 in the white colorway but sold them. Also, Kobe did not wear the KB8 III in his 1st championship in 2000. He wore them during the season but busted out The Kobe in the post season.
