The adidas Crazy Explosive 17 Introduces Forged Primeknit

Updated on July 19th, 2017: The adidas Crazy Explosive 17 Primeknit in Light Grey/Solar Yellow also releases on July 27th, 2017 for $150.

The original adidas Crazy Explosive turned heads for looking more like a wrestling boot than a basketball silhouette fit for the rigors of the NBA when it was first leaked a year or so ago. How times have changed. Today we get an official look at the second installment of the model, as the adidas Crazy Explosive 17 features Forged Primeknit technology for the first time ever. It’s created from a single piece designed with particular key target areas reinforced for more stability, creating a dynamic, lightweight comfort like no other. A sock-like ankle makes this pair easier than ever to slip into while full-length Boost cushioning is wrapped in a TPU roll cage for better traction.

2 colorways will debut on July 27th ranging from the pristing Crystal White and a Lakers-themed Solar Yellow, each retailing at $150 USD. adidas Basketball will push the Crazy Explosive 17 with up and comers like Andrew Wiggins, Kristaps Porzingis, Justice Winslow, and Eric Gordon sporting the model on-court in a number of player exclusives throughout next season.
