adidas Kobe II

Inspiration: Audi TT Roadster

Adidas Kobe II Audi TT Roadster

When the 2000-released adidas Kobe 2 first surfaced, many of us thought it was derived from some outer-space object and rightfully so. It is definitely one of adidas’s most unique sneaker ever, let alone any brand.? However, its actual inspiration came from the Audi TT Roadster. adidas actually joined efforts with Audi to design one of Kobe’s most recognized sneakers to date. adidas mimicked the front-end grill of the Audi TT by altering its legendary shell-toe and incorporating it at the tip of this shoe. In addition, the continuous line that runs along the midsole resembles the line that runs along the wheel arches of the Roadster.
