Futuristic Minimal Basketball Sneakers

adidas Originals Launches the Crazy Infinity Shoe Today

— July 19, 2023 — Fashion
adidas Originals launches its Crazy Infinity sneaker model today, which is available to shop online at Packer. The shoes are dynamic and stand out against traditional basketball shoes. It does not have a chunky base or a high-top silhouette. The refined sneakers boast a sleek look and are inspired by the Audi TT Roadster.

At first glance, the shoes are detailed with a minimal off-white and black colorway palette, which is dubbed Chalk. This creates an understated look and appears to be more for lifestyle than performance on the court. Additional details include a futuristic look that is translated through details such as the zipper shroud system wrapping around the foot, the revamped tooling, detailed underfoot, and the engraved logo on the midsole.
