Zig-Zagging High Tops

The adidas Originals Crazy 8 Tennis Shoes are Bold and Bulky

The adidas Originals Crazy 8 Tennis are back and better than ever. First made popular back in the '90s when Koby Bryant rocked them, these bold high tops will speak to those looking for a unique throwback that doesn't happen to involve the Nike brand.

Although quite chunky in looks, the adidas Originals Crazy 8 Tennis would be perfect for the upcoming spring season. Available in three all-new colorways that incorporates, in no particular order, grey, green, orange, yellow, blue and black, the lifestyle shoe will jazz up any outfit. For those who want to run a little more under the radar, there is also an all-white version.

Th adidas Originals Crazy 8 Tennis also boasts a high contrast leather upper with a zig-zagging outsole and unique details such as a toe strap and ankle buckle.
