Kobe Bryant x adidas Crazy 97 EQT Lakers GY4520

It’s true when they say legacy lives on! The upcoming Kobe Bryant x adidas Crazy 97 EQT Lakers is about to release soon in honour of the 25th anniversary of Kobe Bryant’s first and only Dunk Content in the NBA. The high-schooler from back then didn’t know he will bear the torch for Los Angeles Lakers team later on. And neither did the world know how important he will become in the basketball world.

Kobe has lots of nicknames! For example, KB8, The Black Mamba, the Dagger, or the 8th wonder of the world! No matter what you call him, his brilliant moves on the slippery hardwood floor will always stay iconic, and his legacy will keep going on. And we don’t mean it only for basketball. We're talking about his signature shoes from the sneaker labels too. We are used to seeing Nike and Kobe collabs. However, this adidas EQT is different and more engineered.

The sports world can never fill the gap Kobe’s demise left. But his stylish kicks will keep on getting re-engineered and modified for you to rock every day. This Crazy 97 EQT is unmissable for you indeed. Follow us on @FastSoleUK for more.

It’s been 25 years, a diamond jubilee of Kobe Bryant’s first NBA Dunk Content win. Thanks to his skilful dunks, swift slams, and acrobatic movements, the Black Mamba (Yes, we like this one!) took the trophy home. This particular adidas Crazy 97 EQT (Formerly named EQT Elevation) honours his amazing performance this season. If you are new to the sneaker world, you must wonder why isn’t this silo a Nike release. Because King Kobe first signed in with adidas before switching to the Swoosh team in 2003. So, this version is a homage to his partnership, his legacy, and his Dunk Content. A reunion of the decade!

First of all, this chunky beast looks a lot bolder in person. Wearing the LA Lakers signature colours, this Crazy 97 EQT is the best at looking luxurious and performing like the beast on any track! The Lakers purple paint the entire upper body, including the tongue tab, mudguard, and the waves on the midsole. As a result, white hits the adidas three stripes and the sole underneath. Some black accents and the Lakers' golden yellow accents pop up as well.

Kobe Bryant x adidas Crazy 97 EQT Lakers will release 22nd July via listed UK and European retailers.
