With Beaverton only further expanding their Kobe shoes enterprise throughout 2025 with pairs from the Kobe 6 “All-Star 2.0” to Kobe 8 “What The,” the Crazy 8 remains the Three Stripes’ best answer. Though they’ve pushed Bryant’s heritage into the future with the IIINFINITY line, the OG Crazy 8 and the Crazy 8 Low continue to succeed by foregrounding throwback basketball aesthetics.

“Lakers” colorways and editions that hit on the Mamba’s untouchable on-court career are still a frequent sight in the adidas catalog, yet this just-unveiled Crazy 8 “Maroon” demonstrates the additional lifestyle line they’re carving out for the silhouette. With off-white interspersed between rich burgundy suede, this color-blocking is with all-over lifestyle looks like “Olive Strata” and “Wheat” that have landed in the preceding year and change.

Select retailers have already started receiving stock, likely meaning an official adidas release isn’t far off. Expect a $150 retail price upon arrival. In the meantime, check in to adidas’ new arrivals periodically to be the first to know when these hit shelves.
