The NBA All-Star Game is Kobe Bryant’s territory, so much so that the NBA made that claim permanent by naming him after the game’s MVP trophy. For Kobe sneaker fans, All-Star Weekend is reason for celebration because his most memorable sneakers of the past are set to return to store shelves, extending the celebration for the late hero’s lasting legacy.

Fresh off the heels of the adidas Crazy 8 “All-Star” adidas will also be releasing a special edition of the Crazy 1. Previously named The KOBE, the Crazy 1 appears in a vivid Laker yellow upper paired with a matte black midsole and accent package. On the tongue is a special “01” logo, calling out the year Kobe wore these shoes during the mid-season classic.

This adidas Crazy 1 is currently available at select shops in Europe, but a U.S. release date has yet to be determined. It’ll drop soon on adidas.com for $150, so stay tuned.
