adidas Unveils a Regal Purple Colorway of the Crazy 1
adidas introduces a new tonal version of the classic Crazy 1 sneaker model with the new Regal Purple colorway palette to join its roster. The shoes are the first-ever silhouette by Kobe Bryant and the purple hue nods to his time with the Los Angeles Lakers.
He wore a classic purple jersey in 1997 when he won the Slam Dunk Contest at only 18 years old. The shoes sit on top of an injected EVA midsole unit and are designed to help with step absorption. Additional details include the integrated torsion system that rests between the heel and the forefoot to add stability. The rest of the shoe includes a herringbone pattern throughout the rubber outsole unit.
